Bunnie Xo has spoken candidly about the difficult period she went through following her divorce from Jelly Roll, revealing new details on Jenna Bush Hager's Open Book podcast.
A difficult few months
Bunnie, 46, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, described struggling significantly with her appetite in the aftermath of the split, saying it reached a point where her team stepped in to help her get proper nutrition and medical support. She spoke openly about how physically difficult the period was for her overall.
Wanting to move forward
Bunnie said her focus now is on coming out of the divorce stronger, while being clear she doesn't want to downplay how much it's actually hurt. She said she'd been open with her podcast audience about the experience at the time, but later removed an episode where she discussed it in detail, saying she didn't want to keep revisiting that period every time she looked at her own content. She added that she doesn't want to become defined publicly by the divorce, calling the situation a genuinely painful one that she's ready to move past.
Background on the split
Bunnie and Jelly Roll, 41, were married for nearly ten years before he filed for divorce in May, with the case settled in July. She's previously discussed a final argument between the two around Mother's Day, and has said the couple had been planning to have a child together following a difficult IVF journey. Jelly Roll has been comparatively quiet about the split publicly, though he's told fans at a concert that he and Bunnie will always remain close.
