Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie Xo, has recently opened up in a new memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. She wrote in her memoir that Roll was unfaithful during their marriage. The woman’s identity has never been revealed publicly, but Bunnie XO reportedly reached out to the woman for clarification, who allegedly shared messages, screenshots, and other details of the relationship, and happened to be an ex-partner of his. 

 Jelly Roll later opened up about cheating on his wife, Bunnie Xo. The 'Need a Favor' singer said he does not often talk about issues in his marriage in public. He further said that he put a lot of work into repairing their relationship, and he and Xo were reportedly stronger than they could have ever been.

“One of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife,” he said on the October 21 episode of the Human School Podcast. “Because it was the first time that I was like, ‘I really can’t get this right at all. I know I’m in love with this woman.’ It just really, really, really blew me back,” he explained his turmoil behind his actions.

Nevertheless, the pair will likely continue to co-parent their two children, Bailee, 15, and Noah, 7 as per the law breakdown by Divorce.Law. The split comes after years of ups and downs in their relationship, including a brief separation in 2018 after Jelly Roll’s admitted infidelity. Meanwhile, neither Roll nor Bunnie Xo have actually said anything publicly on the filing.
