Jelly Roll took the stage Thursday night and delivered a staggering response to his estranged wife Bunnie XO's tell-all podcast on their divorce. 
Earlier in the evening his wife Bunnie, 46, addressed the split news for the first time on the latest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast. 
Jelly Roll - born Jason Bradley DeFord - was quick to respond as he stopped his concert in Saratoga Springs, New York hours after the podcast dropped to address some of the bombshell claims. 
He assured the crowd: 'Me and my wife are best friends. 
We will always be best friends. 
We just got off the phone earlier today.' 
Jelly Roll then addressed the part of Bunnie's podcast in which she denied the rumors of her infidelity with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. 
'Nobody cheated on nobody,' he confirmed. 
'She just did a whole podcast about it. 
Every word of it is the truth. 
That will be my best friend forever. 
This is the only time I will ever speak about it. 
Bunnie, I love you, baby.' 
Jelly Roll added: 'Thank you for those 10 years. 
They were incredible. 
Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that.' 
News broke Monday that Jelly Roll had filed to dissolve his marriage to Bunnie - real name Alisa DeFord - back in May. 
On her podcast Thursday, Bunnie also shared whether or not Jelly Roll is 'dating again' amid wild rumors he was romantically linked to a 21-year-old pop star. 
'[Jelly Roll] and I have never really been good at having disagreements,' Bunnie admitted of their relationship dynamic. 
She described her and Jelly Roll as 'the type of couple who never argued.' 
Things between the couple came to a head on Mother's Day of this year, with Bunnie detailing her and Jelly Roll's final explosive argument before he filed for divorce. 
'On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary,' Bunnie revealed. 
'And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f**king divorce papers.'' 
She said the argument ended with her packing up her belongings and leaving their home, which led to her and Jelly Roll 'not speaking for weeks.' 
'In our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don't say, even though my husband has said it numerous times 'cause he's the runner,' Bunnie said. 
'But, when I say it, it really holds weight because I'm not the type of person who says what I don't mean.' 
However, Bunnie did admit that she only said it 'out of anger' and that she was 'blindsided' when she learned that Jelly Roll had actually filed for divorce. 
Although the divorce is 'not mutual' in her eyes, Bunnie acknowledged that it was 'necessary.' 
The baby revelation came later in the podcast, with Bunnie calling herself and Jelly Roll 'the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered.' 
She said that they are in the midst of 'settling our divorce' and that they've gotten it done in just weeks. 
'We're still having a baby together,' she revealed. 
'We're going to co-parent together. 
J is my best friend. 
Like, this isn't what you guys think this is. 
'Nobody cheated on the other person. 
It's literally just we served our purpose for each other.' 
Bunnie kicked off the bombshell tell-all podcast by addressing the divorce immediately, telling fans that she feels as though she is 'living life again.' 
She admitted she is 'relieved the news is out' after having to keep the split a secret for nearly a month and a half. 
'It was rough,' she told listeners. 
Before explaining the demise of their marriage, Bunnie took the time to shutdown online speculation that her ex is 'dating' singer Jessie Murph, 21. 
She called the rumors 'disgusting' and noted that Murph is only a few years older than Jelly Roll's 18-year-old daughter Bailee Ann. 
Bunnie also addressed wild rumors that she is dating Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, which she vehemently denied, after she posted a TikTok featuring one of the rock band's breakup songs. 
However, Bunnie did confirm that her estranged husband is 'dating again' and insisted she is 'happy for him.' 
She encouraged women to 'send him a DM' and said that she would proudly play the role of his ex-wife. 
Bunnie then reflected on her and Jelly Roll's over decade-long romance, calling him her 'twin flame' and 'soulmate.' 
'He is my best friend. 
I love that man more than life itself,' Bunnie began, adding that she will 'always ride' for him regardless of if he's her husband or not. 
'When I said those vows with him, I really meant them,' said Bunnie, who has been married three times. 
'Obviously I am not f***ing good at marriage.' 
Bunnie began to cry as she told fans that she 'really truly feels' that 'if [she] had not got with [her] husband that [she] would be dead,' as she recalled the rough early days of their relationship when she worked as an escort and was addicted to drugs. 
'I truly feel that my husband saved me. 
He was the catalyst for me becoming the woman I am today. 
Without him, I would not be where I am.' 
She also said that Jelly Roll 'would not be where he is today' without her as she recalled supporting him on his long, tough journey to country superstardom. 
Bunnie then spoke about Jelly Roll's daughter Bailee Ann, who she helped raise when the child's biological mother gave the singer full custody in 2016. 
'[Bailee Ann] has been through so much stuff with us. 
I didn't know how to be a f**king mom. 
I was popping pills when I got in that family,' she admitted, adding that Jelly Roll 'was doing the same thing' at that time. 
The couple eventually got sober and Bunnie credited Bailee Ann for helping them finally 'grow up.' 
Bunnie shared that Bailee Ann is currently 'mad' at the both of them over the divorce. 
'And she deserves to feel that way. 
She's going to have emotions. 
She's going to unfollow me on Instagram. 
And then she's gonna text me the next day telling me to follow her back,' she explained of her current dynamic with Bailee Ann. 
'That's just how it is right now. 
I don't care. 
That's my baby [and] I love her.' 
Bunnie said that her relationship with Jelly Roll began to crumble about two years ago when they made the decision to have a baby and she began IVF treatment. 
Due to Jelly Roll's 'low sperm count,' Bunnie said that he also had to 'get on a bunch of hormones.' 
She said the hormones turned him into a 'nightmare to be around.' 
They began their respective hormone therapies just as both of their careers were taking off, which only added to the tension brewing at home. 
The couple also suffered private heartbreak, with Bunnie revealing for the first time that they have 'lost four embryos' and endured three failed transfers. 
'Anybody that is going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it's gut-wrenching.' 
She teared up while voicing frustration over the fact that she and Jelly Roll are 'two people who really want a child but can't have it' and that they kept facing 'roadblocks' in their IVF journey. 
'That takes a toll on a relationship.' 
She also said that the differences in her and Jelly Roll's personalities also played a part in their split. 
'I don't like fame. 
I don't have a good relationship with it,' said Bunnie, adding that she's more 'reserved' and 'laid back' than Jelly Roll. 
'My husband is the complete opposite. 
I always say he is a politician. 
He likes to shake hands and kiss babies and that's his personality.' 
These differences between them became more apparent over the last 'year and a half' as the couple 'stopped communicating together.' 
Bunnie described herself as the 'glue' that held her and Jelly Roll together as she claimed she always loved him 'a little more than he loved [her]. 
After years of being the 'chaser' in their relationship, Bunnie said that she stopped 'chasing' Jelly Roll as their communication disintegrated over the last year and a half. 
'I stopped everything and went into myself,' she explained, adding that she also experienced 'depression' as she was forced to mourn their IVF losses alone. 
Bunnie said that she has now gotten her 'sparkle back' and that she 'immediately got on HRT' after learning that Jelly Roll was going to divorce her. 
She also shared that she is currently in therapy but has lost 15 pounds as a result of her marriage ending. 
While she would have liked to have 'worked things out' in therapy with her now-estranged spouse, Bunnie confirmed that they are 'ending this marriage on the best possible terms.' 
She hinted at a generous divorce settlement as she praised Jelly Roll for being a 'king' who is 'taking care of her in the divorce.' 
As for the 'dream home' the couple has been building, Bunnie said that Jelly Roll is giving it to her 'because he knows how special it is to me.' 
The massive compound has three houses on it and sits on a large piece of land. 
Now that she's single, Bunnie claims that her DMs are 'filled' with verified accounts belonging to men who want to date her. 
'I'm ready to have fun,' she gushed. 
'I want women to know that you can reclaim your power, you can be sexy again.' 
At the end of the podcast, Bunnie decided to address several current headlines floating around about her and Jelly Roll's split, including his decision to remove her name from his Instagram bio. 
'Guys, I did it first,' said Bunnie. 
'The hour [the divorce news dropped] I was like, "Bye bye."'
