Rapper and singer Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, is divorcing Dumb Blonde podcast host Bunnie XO, his wife of nearly 10 years.
TMZ, People.com and E! News reported Monday that DeFord filed for divorce in Tennessee last month.
TMZ cited unnamed sources as saying this was a mutual decision between the two.
At the Grammy Awards ceremony in February, DeFord thanked his wife while accepting the prize for Best Contemporary Country Album.
“I would have never changed my life without you,” he told her from the stage. “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.”
DeFord met his estranged wife at one of his concerts in 2015. They tied the knot in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023.
