Jelly Roll addressed the split for the first time onstage
While performing in Saratoga Springs on Thursday as part of his Little ASS Shed Tour, Jelly Roll paused the show to address headlines about his divorce. Before speaking, he told the crowd, “This is the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now.”
According to the singer, the two continue to share a deep friendship and will always remain important figures in each other’s lives. The country star continued, saying, “My wife and I are best friends, and we always will be.” He added that she will “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her,” in a video obtained by Page Six. He also made it clear that neither of them cheated during the relationship.
During his remarks, Jelly Roll encouraged fans to listen to Bunnie XO’s latest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, where she discussed the divorce in detail. He told the audience that “Every word of it is the truth.” The singer ended his remarks with a heartfelt message to his separated wife, telling her he loved her: “Bunnie, I love you, baby.” The singer also shared the moment on Instagram.
News of the split surfaced earlier this week after reports revealed that Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18. Court documents cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the breakup. The filing surprised many fans, particularly because the couple had frequently spoken about their relationship in interviews, podcasts, and social media posts over the years.
