LADbible Group has approached Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's representatives for comment.
The couple split up in May
TMZ reported the news of their divorce in June due to 'irreconcilable differences’, with sources close to the couple saying the divorce was a ‘mutual decision’ and a ‘private family matter’.
They first met in 2015 and the following year Jelly proposed on stage at a concert in Las Vegas. They married that same night at The Little White Chapel and renewed their vows there in 2023.
Jelly commented on the divorce for the first time while onstage on June 18, hitting out at internet rumours over the split.
"While we're talking about liars, the internet is a liar too," Jelly Roll told fans during a gig on his Little ASS Shed Tour, which was recorded by fans and shared on Instagram.
"This is the only time and the only city I'm going to speak about this, so break your camera phones out now."
Jelly went on to say he still loved Bunnie and that nobody cheated in the relationship.
He continued: "Me and my wife are best friends, we will always be best friends. I will love her. She will probably be the only woman I'll ever love the way I loved her.
"Nobody cheated on nobody."
Bunnie has talked about the divorce on her Dumb Blonde podcast on multiple occasions, with the latest coming on July 10 when she revealed the break-up had impacted her health.
“I was not eating. I wasn’t drinking,” she claimed, as she said at times her friends helped her get IV drips because she had become malnourished.
She added: “I couldn’t even stand up, because I was so f***ing devastated.
“I was on the floor screaming, crying, because I could not understand what the f**k was going on.”
