Bunnie Xo claims Jelly Roll is 'already dating' as she speaks publicly about their divorce for the first time
Bunnie Xo has revealed Jelly Roll is ‘already dating’ following their shock split.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, had filed for divorce in Tennessee back in May.
On the latest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, has spoken publicly about the break up for the first time.
The 46-year-old said that the pair remain on good terms, describing the US singer as her ‘best friend’ and revealed that the pair are still planning to have a baby together despite their split.

She also revealed that Jelly Roll has put himself back out there and is already dating.
Bunnie said: “Has my husband started dating? Yes, he has - and we're happy for him.
"And I'm excited to discover myself single."
She went on: "Daddy Roll is probably in his finest season, right? He's feeling himself. He looks so good. He is healthier than he's ever been.”
Bunnie then played wingwoman for her ex, telling any admirers 'his DMs are open' and to shoot their shot.
In terms of the type of women he might be looking for, Bunnie said: "He needs a really sweet girl who is normal and isn't like, f***ing trying to be an influencer," she said.
"No offense to anybody, but I think he wants the complete opposite of me, which is what he deserves."
Meanwhile, the podcaster says she’s happy to concentrate on herself for the time being.
"The crazy thing is, I'm not even ready to hook up with a dude,” she shared.
“I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself."
Elsewhere in the podcast, Bunnie admitted to being blindsided by the divorce, even though she had been the one to initially mention it.
She explained that the couple had an argument on Mother’s Day during which she told him: "Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers."
Bunnie then packed a bag and left, revealing that the couple didn’t speak ‘for weeks’.
"He was so mad and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do and filing the divorce papers,” she said.
"It was not mutual. Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and frustration. But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely."
