Could Jelly Roll’s previous comments about him “not feeling anything” when he was with Bunnie Xo be the reason for the breakdown of their marriage?

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are reportedly divorcing after almost being married for 10 years.
Despite the country music star and his blonde bombshell wife seemingly having a loving marriage in the public eye, TMZ first reported that Jelly Roll, 41, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18. Now that he and Bunnie, 46, are reportedly breaking up, comments the Grammy-winner made about their sex life ahead of their alleged divorce have resurfaced.
During an interview with Billboard in 2025, he revealed what motivated his weight-loss journey, which saw him lose almost 300 pounds.
“I realized then how much my addiction had been hurting this family,” Jelly Roll told Billboard. “How much my sex life with my wife was horrible. Dude, I married a big-t–tied, blonde, beautiful woman, dog … and I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big.”
He also added, “I was having to play Twister to have sex. Left foot here, right foot on the X. Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.”

Months after Jelly Roll’s revelation, the Wild Ones musician is said to have called it quits with Bunnie Xo, a surprise given that at the 2026 Grammy Awards in February of this year, the two indulged in plenty of PDA throughout the night.
Also, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo embraced in a celebratory moment after he won Best Contemporary Country Album at the ceremony that night. He even thanked Bunnie during his acceptance speech.
“I want to thank my beautiful wife,” he said. “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.”
Insiders told TMZ that the couple’s decision to divorce was mutual, and the two kept it a private matter.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo became a couple after meeting over ten years ago at a concert he had at the Las Vegas Country Saloon in 2015.
Following them dating for about a year, Jelly then proposed to Bunnie while on stage in Las Vegas in 2016, and later that evening, the two secretly tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony without telling friends or family, according to People
The Express US has contacted Jelly Roll’s rep for comment.
