Jelly Roll was hospitalized for a sinus infection days before news broke that he filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo.
The singer detailed his health scare in a June 11 TikTok that showed him getting a boquet of flowers from tourmate Post Malone.
“So, I went to the hospital last night in Charlotte, North Carolina,” Jelly Roll explained. “Shout out to that whole hospital. They literally got me on my feet for the show.”
The 41-year-old said he “was puffy-faced” from the sinus infection, but he’s on the mend now after doctors gave him “a bunch of steroids.”
But Jelly Roll noted the illness caused him to miss a portion of his performance at the June 9 show on Malone’s Big Ass Stadium Tour.
“It’s the first night as long as I’ve been touring with Post that I didn’t get to come out and sing ‘Losers,’” Jelly Roll shared. “I just barely got through my show.”
Jelly Roll showed off the flowers from Malone that came with a note that read, “Get well soon, Mofo. Love Ya.”
“I love you Post,” Jelly Roll said. “When I say on stage every night that Post Malone is the nicest human in the world. I’m not making that up.”
Jelly Roll also called Malone “the most normal dude in the world,” adding at the end of his video, “I love you, Posty.”
The “Wild Ones” singer’s next show on his solo “The Little ASS Shed Tour” is tonight in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Page Six confirmed earlier this week that Jelly Roll — whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord — filed for divorce from Bunnie, 46, on May 18 after almost a decade of marriage.
The Grammy Award winner listed the duo’s date of separation as May 9, according to the court documents.
As for the reason they called it quits, he cited “irreconcilable differences.”
A source told Page Six the couple were dealing with “growing tension” behind the scenes due to their differing lifestyles — namely Jelly Roll’s religious beliefs clashing with Bunnie’s racy past.
“A lot of people want to point to one thing, but it was really a combination of issues that had been building for years,” an insider claimed.
In addition, Jelly Roll’s major life changes, including his booming career and dramatic weight loss, reportedly created more strain for the pair.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa Andrea Carter, secretly tied the knot at a Las Vegas courthouse in August 2016.
Two years later, Jelly Roll had an affair, but they moved past the cheating scandal and renewed their vows in 2023.
During their marriage, Bunnie Xo served as a stepmom to Jelly Roll’s two kids, daughter Bailee Ann, 18, and son Noah Buddy, 9, from previous relationships.
