Old clips of Bunnie Xo speaking about her relationship with Jelly Roll have resurfaced, following news of their divorce.
The country artist, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce from his wife of almost 10 years on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee.
He cited "irreconcilable differences," with court filings revealing that he and Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, were "unable to live together successfully as husband and wife."
News of the divorce broke this week, as TMZ revealed that the artist made the move last month, but that it was a “mutual decision by the two and a private family matter.”
While many were left shocked by the news, old clips of Bunnie speaking about their relationship in the past have resurfaced as curious social media users look to find out more about the high-profile marriage.
American podcast host Bunnie, who is known for hosting the Dumb Blonde Podcast, spoke on her show almost exactly one year ago about the intricacies of her relationship with Jelly, 41.
While she has also gone into detail about their sex life after Jelly lost weight, the 46-year-old took to her podcast in 2025 to address rumors of the couple being in an open relationship.
She explained: “You guys are clipping clips from like six years ago,
“One of them, finally, there was a clip that went around that said if I want to sleep with other men, I can. And people have just ran with this clip for years, and I know that I have addressed me and my husband’s situation.
"I don’t understand what part of we are not in an open relationship that people cannot comprehend," she insisted.
But the next part of Bunnie's explanation left many confused, as she went on: “The only thing that we don’t do, though, is try to control the other person,
“If I want to go sleep with another man, he’s not going to be like, ‘No, you’re mine.’ You can’t do that to people.
"Same goes for like if there was another woman, but this is all in the past. We have completely stopped all of those shenanigans because you can’t trust anybody in the world," Bunnie claimed, adding that "back in the day," that is how they viewed the relationship.
Bunnie said that they "don’t want to tell each other what we can and can’t do," claiming that they have "free will," which she says doesn't exist in an open relationship.
She claimed that Jelly Roll hadn't been in a real relationship before being with her, in another sweeping claim.
“Granted, he had been in a couple of 10-year relationships, but he had cheated on every one of them,” she said.
Bunnie added: “I had been cheated on, and I was in sex work. How am I going to be in sex work having sugar daddies, telling my husband, ‘No, you can’t sleep with other people.’ Like, you guys just don’t see the bigger picture.”
The podcast host then revealed that they are "both Christians," a topic that people like to ask about when discussing the topic.
She then revealed: “We love Jesus, and that is why we have changed the uniform of our relationship. It was never open for us to have to close it.
"I think that is where people don’t understand, because six years ago we were just learning how to talk to the internet. Everybody and their mom runs with that clip, but I’m so happy because one clip finally posted the whole clip."
The former sex worker claimed that people will "hear what they want to hear," and clip what they want from their interviews.
“The majority of the time, they’ll clip that, if I want to go sleep with other people, and it is so funny to me because we have brought more women into our relationship than ever any men," she admitted.
Bunnie left the sex worker industry in 2023, but claimed that some fans may feel bad for Jelly in their relationship, stating: "If you guys only knew."
