Jelly Roll\u2019s decision to file for divorce<\/a> from Bunnie Xo carried a sense of betrayal given everything the podcaster had weathered by her husband\u2019s side over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sad part is that Bunnie stood by him through everything,\u201d a source exclusively told Page Six. \u201cShe was there before the fame, before all the awards, before his sold out shows. She stayed through some incredibly difficult periods, including challenges that would have ended a lot of marriages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJelly Roll and Bunnie eventually had to be honest with themselves that they weren\u2019t building the same future anymore,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n

Still, the source believes there\u2019s a \u201ctremendous amount of love\u201d between the exes.<\/p>\n

Reps for Jelly Roll, 41, and Bunnie Xo, 46, did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

A source previously told Page Six<\/a> that some people around the former couple \u201cfelt there was growing tension as Jelly embraced a more faith-centered lifestyle while Bunnie continued building the outspoken and provocative brand that had always been authentic to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether that\u2019s fair or not, it became increasingly difficult to reconcile those two worlds,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Bunnie and Jelly briefly separated<\/a> after the \u201cSon of a Sinner\u201d singer, 41,\u00a0had a months-long affair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you add in the pressure of fame, constant public scrutiny and then the unresolved issues from the earlier years of their marriage,\u00a0including trust issues\u00a0they worked hard to overcome, it created a situation where they kept finding themselves having the same conversations over and over,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n

It was revealed on Monday that the \u201cWild Ones\u201d hitmaker, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18 after almost a decade of marriage.<\/p>\n
