Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo after a decade of marriage

Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo after a decade of marriage.

The 41-year-old singer/rapper submitted paperwork to end the union in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18, according to TMZ.com with sources telling the website the split was a "mutual decision" and remains a "private family matter".

Jelly Roll - real name Jason DeFord - married Bunnie Xo - whose real name is Alisa DeFord - in 2016.

The split news comes after Bunnie XO recently opened up about the ups and downs of the couple's marriage revealing it's important to love someone even when they are "at their lowest" because "everybody deserves a second chance".

Speaking to PEOPLE earlier this year, she explained: "When you are with somebody for a long time, you are going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love is not about so much as accepting things that you shouldn’t, but I do think that everybody deserves a second chance.

"Loving somebody at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they bloom and they blossom like my husband has."
