Bunnie XO Keeps the $6 Million Franklin Estate After Jelly Roll Divorce Settlement

A house built in 2022, bought together less than two years ago, is now the centerpiece of a very public divorce. And the way it’s being handled has people talking for very different reasons.

Bunnie XO recently confirmed that Jelly Roll is giving her full ownership of their Tennessee compound. No fight, no court battle, just a settlement that came together faster than anyone expected.

The Compound They Built Together

The Franklin, Tennessee property was purchased through a trust for $6.2 million in November 2023. Built in 2022, it spans close to 7,700 square feet with five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms.

It also has a five-car garage, a basement, and a resort-style pool. Set on nearly 10 acres behind a gated driveway, the home was designed to give the couple privacy whenever they were there.

The Settlement Came Together Fast

Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, in Williamson County, Tennessee. The two had married back in 2016, just a year after meeting at the Las Vegas Country Saloon.

On her Dumb Blonde Podcast, Bunnie said the entire settlement took two to three weeks. “We’re literally settling our divorce in, like, what? We’ve done it in three weeks? Two weeks?” she said, calling Jelly Roll her best friend even now.

According to Realtor.com’s coverage of the ownership dispute, the speed of the agreement is part of what’s drawn so much attention to this case.

Why She Got the House, Not Him

Here’s the part most coverage skips. Jelly Roll didn’t just give away a house, he kept a major asset of his own too.

Records show he purchased a 500-acre farm in nearby Burns, Tennessee, for $4.5 million back in August 2024, through a separate trust. He later added an adjacent 18.5-acre parcel for $500,000 in November 2025, using that same trust.

So this wasn’t one person walking away with everything. Bunnie gets the compound because it holds real meaning for her, she’s already said her two close friends, Meme Shahan and Hailee Clark, will be moving in with her, and she plans to help care for the animals there.

Jelly Roll keeps the farm, a property that fits a completely different kind of lifestyle.

That’s a meaningful detail. Property splits in celebrity divorces usually get reduced to who “won.”

This one looks more like two people dividing things based on what each of them actually values, the same way Josh Duhamel recently walked away from his LA home as he moved into a completely different chapter of his life.

Why This Matters

Tennessee is an equitable distribution state, which means courts divide marital property fairly, not necessarily equally. Judges weigh the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contribution, and earning capacity when deciding who gets what.

A marriage spanning nearly a decade typically puts a significant portion of assets into the marital pot, including property bought during the relationship.

According to Divorce.law’s legal breakdown of the case, Tennessee also requires a mandatory 60-day cooling-off period for couples without minor children before a divorce can be finalized.

So even with an agreement this fast, the law still has its own timeline to follow.

It’s a pattern that shows up across celebrity real estate too, big purchases often come with questions about privacy and public attention, something Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt’s family has dealt with since buying their new home.

What Actually Led to the Split

Bunnie has been open about what happened. She said the two “have never really been good at having disagreements,” and that a fight on May 10 was the turning point.

In the middle of that argument, she told him to “file the divorce papers.” She later admitted she had spoken out of anger and tried to walk it back almost immediately, only for Jelly Roll to say he genuinely wanted to move forward with the separation.

She also revealed she had pushed for couples therapy and he hadn’t been on board. “I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure stuff out.

He didn’t feel that way, and I respect it,” she said. It’s the kind of honest, unscripted moment that’s missing from most of the coverage around this divorce, the same curiosity that followed Poo Bear when he listed his Miami penthouse for $10 million.
