Jelly Roll’s decision to file for divorce from Bunny Zoe came with a sense of betrayal considering everything the podcaster had endured by her husband’s side over the years.
“The sad thing is Bunny supported him through everything,” a source exclusively told Page Six. “She was there before he had fame, before he won all the awards, before his shows sold out. She got through some incredibly difficult times, including ones that would have ended many marriages.”
“Jellyroll and Bunny are finally forced to be honest with themselves that they are no longer building the same future,” a source said.
Still, the source believes there is a “tremendous amount of love” between the exes.
Representatives for Jelly Roll, 41, and Bunny Zoe, 46, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
A source previously told Page Six that some people around the former couple “felt tension was building as Jerry embraced a more faith-centered lifestyle while Bunny continued to build the outspoken and provocative brand that had always been authentic to her.”
“Whether it’s fair or not, it’s become increasingly difficult to reconcile these two worlds,” the source said.
In 2018, Bunny and Jerry briefly separated after the “Son of a Sinner” singer had an affair for a month.
“When you add in the pressures of fame, constant public scrutiny, and unresolved issues from early in their marriage, including trust issues that they have worked hard to overcome, this creates a situation where they find themselves having the same conversations over and over again,” the source said.
It was revealed on Monday that the “Wild Ones” hitmaker, whose real name is Jason Bradley Deford, filed for divorce from Bunny on May 18 after nearly 10 years of marriage.
Legal documents filed in Williamson County, Tennessee, cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
The Dumb Blonde podcast host shared the racy images just hours before news broke of Jerry’s divorce filing. She posted a steamy photo of herself wearing pink satin lingerie. In this photo, she was kneeling on a brown couch and started undoing her bra strap.
“She’s getting her glow back,” she wrote above the photo.
The next day, a moving truck was found outside an apartment complex in Tennessee. At this time, it is unclear whose items were being removed from the couple’s home.
Jelly Roll and Bunny (real name Alisa Andrea Carter) secretly married at a Las Vegas courthouse in August 2016, just a year after they met at the country singer’s concert.
They were married on the same night that Jelly Roll proposed. In 2023, they renewed their vows.
During their relationship, Bunny acted as a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children, daughter Bailey Ann (18 years old) and son Noah Buddy (9 years old).
