Bunnie Xo has revealed what she is getting from her divorce settlement.
The 46-year-old revealed on her Dumb Blonde podcast that she and Jelly Roll have managed to divide their assets quickly and remain on remarkably good terms despite their split.
"My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms," the host, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, said.
Explaining that the 41-year-old country star filed for divorce last month, she added: "We're literally settling our divorce. We've done it in two weeks, three weeks."
One of the biggest assets involved is a property the former couple purchased last year.
Bunnie disclosed that Jelly Roll has agreed to let her keep the compound, which includes three homes and has been a passion project for her.
"J is so f***ing sweet that he's giving me that compound in the divorce," she said, "because he knows how special it is to me."
She also hinted that financial support is part of the settlement arrangement.
"I joke around with him," she said. "I'm like, 'Well, you didn't take care of me in the marriage, but you're taking care of me in the divorce.'" She added: "We stan a f***ing king."
Despite the legal proceedings, the influencer made it clear there is no animosity between them.
"That's my f***ing best friend, dude," she said.
Her comments echo comments Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, recently made while addressing the divorce publicly for the first time during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York.
The 'Save Me' singer denied speculation that infidelity played a role in the breakup, telling the crowd: "While we're talking about liars, the internet is a liar too... nobody cheated on nobody.
"Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends," he continued, adding that Bunnie is "probably the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her."
He then promoted her podcast episode about the divorce, saying: "Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever.
"This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby," he concluded.
While their marriage may be ending, Bunnie revealed the former couple is still planning to have a child together following their difficult IVF journey.
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she previously said.
She also noted that she and Jelly Roll will continue co-parenting his children, Bailee, 18, and Noah, nine.
"We have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered," she said.
Although Bunnie has now embraced the changes in her life, she admitted the divorce wasn't what she initially wanted.
"I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s**t out," she said. "He didn't feel that way and I respect it. It took me a month and a half now to respect that."
She believes the split forced both of them to have conversations they had been avoiding.
"Was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely," she said. "This was like a resurrection of my soul, because I literally feel like a different human than I was a month and a half ago - and I'm so thankful."

After country music star Jelly Roll, 41, filed for divorce from his wife, influencer and podcast host Bunnie Xo, 46, he has stayed silent until now.
He has finally spoken out about their relationship and even claimed that “nobody cheated on nobody.”
The couple, with a combined 8.3 million followers on Instagram, had been married for almost ten years and renewed their vows just three years ago.
Although the singer paid tribute to his wife on stage at the Grammys earlier this year, saying that without her, he “would have ended up dead or in jail”, Jelly Roll has filed for divorce months later.
On Thursday evening, he told the audience at his show at Saratoga Springs, New York: “This is the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now.”
Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, even claimed: “Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends,” and declared that Bunnie will “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her.”
Despite TMZ reporting that the separation was a "mutual decision by the two and a private family matter", the pair have previously been open about their up-and-down relationship.
The documents filed for the divorce cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending their marriage.
Offering an olive branch to his estranged wife, the 'Wild Ones' singer endorsed an episode of Bunnie’s Dumb Blonde podcast, during which she discussed the couple’s divorce.
Prompting fans to listen to the episode, Jelly Roll said: “Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever. This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby.”
The podcast host, real name Alisa De Ford, made a bombshell revelation in the most recent episode: Jelly Roll is allegedly already dating again.
She revealed: "J is a little lover, and he, you know, he likes to snuggle, and he likes to cuddle.”
The model even encouraged other women to contact her soon-to-be ex-husband, saying: "Don't be scared. Shoot your motherf**king shot.
"I will be the ex-wife, okay? And we'll have a great time."
However, she did also admit that she is not ready to do the same. Bunnie confessed: “The crazy thing is, I'm not even ready to hook up with a dude. I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself."

Country artist Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, are set to split up after almost 10 years of marriage.
It was revealed by TMZ that Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18, according to court documents.
The move may come as a surprise to many who have followed the couple's journey, as the pair have shared several details about their relationship in the past.
Earlier this year, they could be seen getting their PDA on at the 2026 Grammys, before Jelly Roll, 41, scooped up an award for himself, thanking his wife in his speech.
Following the news, an old interview involving podcaster Bunnie Xo, real name Alisa DeFord, and the discussion of the couple's sex life has resurfaced.
Speaking out in February this year, she explained how her love life with Jelly Roll changed following his dramatic weight loss.
The country artist once hit 540 lbs (245 kg), but managed to lose over half of that without the use of GLP-1 medication, getting down to 265 lbs (120 kg).
Speaking to Us Weekly, Bunnie Xo opened up about what she shared in her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic: "We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through - especially when he was so big."
She added that it was his "excitement and his new zest for life" which was refreshing, adding: “It’s so childlike and just giddy - just seeing him get to be the man that I always saw that he was.”
The 46-year-old went on: “Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, ‘You are athletic under that meat suit.’
"Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it’s brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he’s happy, I’m happy."
Jelly Roll also opened up about his own weight loss in an interview with Men's Health this year, explaining: "I was so fat that there came a moment in life that my wife and I had to put two queen beds beside each other because we couldn’t fit in a king bed anymore, I was just all over,
"Now it’s a totally different thing. I’m chasing her around the house. I’m like a teenage kid again! I’m like the Pink Panther – I bust out of every corner. And she opens the cabinet and I go, ‘Hi!’"
He had previously revealed that he couldn't get aroused due to his size.
The couple started dating over 10 years ago, after meeting at one of Jelly Roll's shows at Las Vegas' Country Saloon in 2015.
After around a year of dating, Jelly proposed to Bunnie on stage in Las Vegas, with the pair eloping and making it official in a courthouse ceremony that same evening.
They had been open about numerous aspects of their relationship, including their IVF journey, as they were attempting to conceive.
When Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo attended this year's Grammy Awards, they could be seen laying kisses on one another, sharing a more wholesome moment after the former won Best Contemporary Country Album.
As part of his acceptance speech, he said: "I want to thank my beautiful wife,
"I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus. I thank you for that."

Inside sources have spoken out for the first time over Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's divorce, claiming to know the true reasons behind the split.
Real name Jason DeFord, the country artist filed for divorce from his wife of almost 10 years back in May at a Tennessee court, according to TMZ.
He cited "irreconcilable differences" in official court filings, further claiming that he and Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, were "unable to live together successfully as husband and wife."
It further explained that the split was a "mutual decision by the two and a private family matter," with news of the 41-year-old's filing only surfacing this week.
The couple may have remained active on social media, but no statements directly addressing the situation have been released.
But over 10 years after meeting each other, some sources claim to know the truth behind the breakdown of the highly publicized relationship.
As Bunnie, 46, has previously been open about all aspects of their relationship, the news came as a shock to fans.
Jelly met Bunnie at one of his concerts in Las Vegas in 2015, as he was living in his van and had allegedly been in and out of jail 40 times, according to the Daily Mail.
At the time, Bunnie was a "high-class" escort, and the couple would make it official the following year, and she stayed by his side as he went on to win three Grammy Awards as one of the most successful country stars in the world.
Bunnie retired from sex work in 2023, committing herself to being a stepmother to Jelly's two children from previous relationships, Bailee Ann, 18, and son Noah Buddy, nine.
The pair also had issues with drug addiction, tied to Jelly's months-long affair, which he would admit to, but after working through that, it was expected that the couple would go the distance.
One source told the Daily Mail: "You couldn't tell he was going through something. If the divorce was on his mind, you'd never have known."
But other insiders claimed that there was clear reasoning that led to Jelly's decision, with one of the main points being the artist's shift to Christianity.
Following his Grammy win for best contemporary country album in February, he held a Bible and told the crowd that "Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label."
This new direction has created a night-and-day difference from his past, while also setting himself apart from his wife's previous escorting and online sex work.
Bunnie may have quit, but her Dumb Blonde podcast features several NSFW topics including her sex life and spicy social media posts, which may have started to cause a stir at home.
Hours before the divorce was made public, Bunnie posted a revealing snap on her Instagram story, wearing only a satin bralette and matching thong.
Another insider told the publication: "There is just such a conflict in what's going on. He's preaching this Christian way of life. She's posing mostly naked and talking about porn and penises on her podcast.
"At every turn, she's just kind of embarrassing him and wrecking every PR narrative that they're trying to create. This is the talk of the town [in Nashville]."
Christian music has officially hit the mainstream, becoming a prominent part of life in Nashville, as a source added: "There's so much money in [Christian music], but [his renewed faith] is just an act in my opinion.
"He saw a lot of money in this market and told Bunnie to get it together. But she wouldn't stay in line and it is destroying his brand," they added.
The same source claimed: "He saw a lot of money in this market and told Bunnie to get it together. But she wouldn't stay in line and it is destroying his brand.
"She just wants to be what she is. She's been an escort and in porn and gets her validation and audience from being in a G-string. That's been her life but now, suddenly, he's a preacher and she's a preacher's wife."
Their lifestyles have seemingly caused a clash, though there has also been a disagreement about expanding their family.
Bunnie has previously opened up about undergoing IVF after finding out her fallopian tubes were blocked, but the treatment was ultimately unfruitful.
Efforts to find a surrogate also amounted to nothing, as an insider said: "Both [she and Jelly Roll] wanted more children, but disagreements over timing and his increasingly demanding career have created ongoing tension.
"Ultimately, he felt it wasn't wise to move forward with having more kids when the stability of their relationship remained uncertain, and they seemed destined to keep repeating the same cycle."
The source added: "Their relationship has always been passionate but turbulent, with frequent almost-breakups followed by intense reconciliations."

Jelly Roll has addressed cheating rumors and "liar" accusations as he speaks out on Bunnie Xo's divorce.
The country star, 41, broke his silence during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, days after news emerged that he had filed for divorce from the podcast host and influencer.
Addressing the crowd, the singer made it clear he wanted to shut down speculation surrounding the split.
"While we're talking about liars, the internet is a liar too," he told the audience.
"This is the only time and the only city I'm gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now."
The 'Save Me' musician, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, went on to defend both himself and his ex-wife amid online rumors.
He claimed that "nobody cheated on nobody," and stressed: "Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends."
He added that Bunnie will "probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her."
Jelly Roll also used the moment to encourage fans to listen to a recent episode of Bunnie's Dumb Blonde podcast, where she discussed the end of their marriage.
"Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever," he continued.
"This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby."
The comments came after divorce documents filed in Tennessee cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending the marriage.
While shutting down rumors about the cause of the split, Bunnie recently surprised fans by revealing that Jelly Roll has already returned to the dating scene.
Speaking on her podcast, she described her ex as someone who enjoys companionship.
"J is a little lover, and he, you know, he likes to snuggle, and he likes to cuddle," she said.
She even encouraged interested women to make the first move. "Don't be scared. Shoot your motherf**king shot," she said. "I will be the ex-wife, okay? And we'll have a great time."
However, she made it clear she is not in the same place emotionally.
"The crazy thing is, I'm not even ready to hook up with a dude. I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself," she explained.
The 46-year-old also recently addressed speculation surrounding her own love life after fans suggested she had moved on with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
The rumors began after she posted a TikTok video singing along to the band's hit song 'How You Remind Me'.
"Does this mean the rumors about Chad Kroeger are correct?" one fan asked. Another wrote: "So is she with Chad Kroeger now??"
A third added: "Ran here to see if the Chad Kroeger rumours was true, & it took me here."
The podcast host explained there wasn't an ounce of truth to the rumors and that she is simply a longtime Nickelback fan.
She also addressed rumors that Jelly Roll was romantically involved with his 'Wild Ones' collaborator Jessie Murph, calling that rumor "disgusting" because Murph is 20 years younger than him.
Despite ending their marriage, Bunnie has revealed that she and Jelly Roll are still committed to having a child together following a difficult IVF journey.
She previously shared that Jelly Roll "has been so great about us still having a baby together" and that "he wants the same thing."
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she added.

Bunnie Xo has opened up about her split from Jelly Roll, revealing that despite their recent divorce filing, the pair still plan to have a child together.
On Thursday's episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 46-year-old shared an emotional update on her future with the country star.
Bunnie said Jelly Roll "has been so great about us still having a baby together" and added that "he wants the same thing" despite their marriage ending.
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she told listeners.
The revelation comes days after it emerged that the 41-year-old musician, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18 after 10 years of marriage. Court documents cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
While discussing the breakdown of their relationship, Bunnie, whose real name is Alisa Andrea Carter, reflected on their difficult fertility journey.
"In the last two years, when we decided to have a baby, I had to do IVF," she said. "My hat goes off to any woman, family, couple who is going through IVF because, let me tell you something, dude, that is one of the loneliest, darkest journeys you will be on."
She continued: "Yes, everybody gets to see the reward at the end, but it is not all bells and whistles. It is not a beautiful journey. It completely wrecked me."
According to Bunnie, both she and Jelly Roll were taking hormones during the process, while the 'Save Me' singer was also dealing with a low sperm count, creating what she described as a chaotic situation.
The couple endured several painful setbacks during treatment. Bunnie disclosed that across three embryo transfers, they lost four embryos.
"The two twins that we were going to try to have, and then we lost the other two," she explained. "And anybody that's going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it's gut-wrenching. It is so heartbreaking."
She admitted the losses left her questioning why the process had been so difficult.
"You get so mad at God, because you're like, 'Why is it so easy for people who don't deserve children to just be able to just pop them out?'" she recalled thinking, adding that she and Jelly Roll are "two people that really want a baby together."
The podcast host said the "roadblocks" in their relationship had taken "a toll" on them, but she feels the pair are "trauma bonded at this point".
She also revealed that an argument on Mother's Day led to the end of their marriage.
"On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary," she said. "And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.'"
According to Bunnie, Jelly Roll followed through and filed the paperwork shortly afterward.
The former couple first met in 2015 and married in Las Vegas the following year after the singer proposed on stage.
Although they briefly separated in 2018, they later reconciled and renewed their vows in 2023.
The divorce has sparked intense public interest, prompting a response from Jelly Roll's 18-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann.
"Oh & one more thing I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter. It's fkn crazy," she wrote on TikTok. "Go on somewhere yall. Worry bout your house - not mine. I'm not speaking on it – yet."
In a follow-up post, she thanked supporters for their kindness, adding: "I understand & respect opinions and that a public profile is a public profile, but that doesn't have to mean we throw away our human decency."
