Country singer Jelly Roll announced he is taking an indefinite break from performing following the final stop of his Little Ass Shed Tour on July 30 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The decision comes after he finalized his divorce from wife Bunnie XO in early July, ending nearly a decade of marriage.
During his July 28 concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, Jelly Roll told attendees that his next scheduled performance would be his last for "a year or two." He stated, "I’m fixing to take some time off and heal." The singer, born Jason DeFord, has no upcoming concert dates listed on his official website.
Divorce Finalized After Nearly 10 Years of Marriage
Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie XO on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who married in 2016 after meeting at a 2015 concert in Las Vegas, had publicly shared their relationship journey through podcast appearances and Bunnie’s 2026 memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. Bunnie became a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children, Bailee and Noah, from a previous relationship.
The divorce was finalized in early July, though terms of the settlement remain confidential. Jelly Roll’s hiatus announcement followed the conclusion of his co-headlining BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2 with Post Malone, which wrapped on July 30.
Tour Concludes with Final Performances
Jelly Roll’s latest single, "Hands Up," was released on June 24, accompanied by a music video filmed at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center featuring inmates from the facility. His upcoming album details have not been announced. The singer’s tour included stadium stops across multiple states, culminating in his final solo show at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs.
Background: A Publicly Documented Relationship
The couple’s relationship had been a frequent topic in media appearances, with both sharing personal insights about their marriage. Bunnie’s memoir, published earlier this year, provided an unfiltered account of their life together, including challenges they faced. Jelly Roll’s humanitarian work, including a March 2026 award at the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, had also been highlighted in recent months.
The singer’s decision to pause his career reflects a shift from his recent high-profile touring schedule, which included collaborations with major artists and large-scale productions.
