Country singer Jelly Roll‘s ex-wife, Bunnie XO, has revealed that she will take full ownership of the former couple’s Tennessee compound as part of their divorce settlement—and says her two best friends will soon be moving onto the property with her.
Speaking on a recent episode of her “Dumb Blonde Podcast,” the 46-year-old shared that she and Jelly Roll, who announced their split on May 18, have managed to navigate what she described as the “best divorce.”
“I joke around with him, like, ‘Well, you didn’t take care of me in the marriage, but you’re taking care of me in the divorce!'” she quipped.
“We stan a f—ing king. My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever have in a divorce. We’re literally settling our divorce in, like, what? We’ve done it in three weeks? Two weeks?” she continued, adding that he remains her “best friend.”
Bunnie, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, also revealed that Jelly Roll, 41, whose real name is Jason DeFord, is giving her the keys to their sprawling $6 million Franklin, TN, property because he knows “how special it is” to her.
She went on to share that her close friends, Meme Shahan and Hailee Clark, will soon relocate to the compound, where she also plans to help care for their animals.
The property, which was built in 2022, spans close to 7,700 square feet, with five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. It also boasts a five-car garage, basement, resort-style pool, soaring ceilings, and many modern amenities.
Set back from the main road behind a gated driveway, the dwelling sits on close to 10 acres, ensuring that the A-list duo was able to enjoy ample privacy whenever they were at home.
Aerial images of the dwelling reveal that much of the land has been elegantly manicured, with a sloped drive that leads up to the main entrance of the property, featuring enormous windows throughout the main living spaces, helping to fill it with natural light.
While Jelly Roll has not yet revealed his plans for the future, he does have another property he can retreat to: a sprawling 500-acre farm in nearby Burns, TN, which he purchased via a separate trust for $4.5 million in August 2024, records show.
The sizable farm was previously described as being home to an abundance of wildlife—and also features multiple trails and two year-round creeks that run through the land.
Jelly Roll later expanded this rural holding with the addition of an adjacent 18.5-acre parcel that was purchased via the same trust for $500,000 in November 2025.
Both trusts used for the singer’s property purchases are registered to the same Franklin business address.
Speaking on her podcast, Bunnie also opened up about what led to their divorce, telling fans that they “have never really been good at having disagreements” and hinting that one of their arguments had led them to realize their relationship wasn’t working—for either of them.
She revealed that they had a big fight on May 10, during which she suggested Jelly Roll “file the f—ing divorce papers.”
However, she explained that she later realized she had been “speaking out of anger and frustration,” noting that she backtracked on her divorce threat almost immediately—only for her husband to admit he did want to move ahead with a separation.
Bunnie, on the other hand, said she had been willing to put the work in, noting that she had advocated for them to attend couple’s therapy together.
“I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s–t out. He didn’t feel that way, and I respect it. It took me a month and a half now to respect that,” she admitted.
The “Wild Ones” hitmaker filed from divorce from his spouse in Williamson County, TN, on May 18, according to court records first obtained by TMZ.
The couple tied the knot in 2016, just one year after they met at the Las Vegas Country Saloon, where Jelly Roll was performing as the opening act for the Moonshine Bandits.
In the decade since, the duo has faced several very significant bumps in their relationship—including an affair that the singer had early on in their marriage, as well as infertility struggles.
TMZ reported on June 15 that a moving truck was spotted outside their Nashville-area dwelling, however, at the time, it was unclear exactly whose belongings were being transported.
A photo shared by the outlet captured a large truck from Music City Movers parked outside the Franklin home, which was purchased by the estranged spouses via a trust for $6.2 million in November 2023, according to property records.
Neighbors told the outlet that this was the first time they had seen movers at the home, which is understood to have served as Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s primary residence for the last two years.
