The Divorce Was Not Mutual

Bunnie explained that an argument on Mother’s Day ultimately led to the divorce filing.

“And so on Mother’s Day we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary…And in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.’”

She later clarified that while she made the comment, she never expected things to go this far.

“Was I blindsided and was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual. Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration.”

Neither Bunnie Xo Nor Jelly Roll Cheated

One of the biggest rumors she wanted to shut down was the idea that infidelity played a role in the split.

“Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just we served our purpose for each other and I’m excited to discover myself single and single and sober, which is crazy.”

They Lost Four Embryos During Their IVF Journey

Bunnie also revealed the heartbreaking struggles she and Jelly Roll have faced while trying to start a family.

“I’ve never talked about this, but Jay and I have lost four embryos. We’ve had three transfers, but we lost the two twins that we were going to try to have and then we lost the other two. And anybody that’s going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it’s gut wrenching. It is so heartbreaking.”

They Still Plan To Have A Baby Together

Despite ending their marriage, Bunnie revealed that she and Jelly Roll are still moving forward with plans to have a child.

“I love him and you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we’re still having a baby,” she shared.

“We’re still having a baby together.”

She explained that the two plan to co-parent and raise their future child together.

She Is Not Dating Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger

Bunnie also addressed rumors linking her romantically to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.

“There’s no f***ing way in hell that would even be a thing and know I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad and none of that. Please.”

She later added:

“I am not dating Chad Kroger. I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. It’s embarrassing.”

She Is Getting The Couple’s Dream Home And The Animals

Bunnie revealed that she will keep the dream home they have been building on their compound, along with the animals.

“We bought a compound and we’ve been building our dream house for the past year. When I say we, I mean I. Because my husband was always like, Jay’s always like, “Just do whatever you want to do, honey.” He didn’t care. He just wanted to move in, turn key, didn’t want to have a problem with it. And so Jay is so fucking sweet that he’s giving me that compound in the divorce because he knows how special it is to me. And it has three houses on it. So one of the houses is going to Mimi. All the animals, everybody’s worried about Crunch and Smore. Chachi’s right here.”
