Bunnie Xo Shows Of The New Multi-Million Dollar House She’s Keeping In Divorce From Jelly Roll

She’s got quite an impressive new home… and she’ll have it all to herself. Bunnie Xo made a ton of headlines last month when she opened up on the pending divorce between her and her husband Jelly Roll following the news becoming public. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, back on May 18 in Williamson County Chancery Court, just outside of Nashville. And in the wake of the announcement, Bunnie released a tell-all episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, where she revealed what led to split, addressed dating rumors, revealed that Jelly was already dating, and she also explained the straw that broke the camel’s back, that led to the divorce papers being filed after a fight back on Mother’s Day. And she also let fans know that she will get to keep the massive, brand new multi-million dollar house they’ve been building on a large piece of land in Tennessee, and Jelly will build on another part of it from what she said in the since-deleted podcast. Bunnie talked about how excited she was to move in, and she and Jelly are preparing to welcome a child together via surrogate sometime in the not-too-distant future, though it will now just be Bunnie and the baby in this house. She previously talked about how they will co-parent the little boy that is on the way, and it looks like this new house will have more than enough room for the two of them. In a video shared on TikTok, Bunnie showed her friend and comedian Matt Matthews around the property, and he was pretty much gobsmacked at every single room. The shoe room and closet and makeup room are easily the coolest parts in my humble opinion, but you can get the full house tour here: @xomgitsbunnie @Matt Mathews ♬ Comedy Corridor – Finley Reed Of course, people in the comments were pretty stunned too, and some were even jokingly (I think) inquiring about a job with Bunnie so they could spend time there too: “‘I’m not even happy for you cause this is stupid.'” “I live in a TrAiLoR compared to this” baby sameeee.” “I LOVE the darkness of your house. always wanted a home with black/dark vibe.” “Girlll this is noiceee.” “Bunnie I’m coming to live with you!!!” “Beautiful home.” “Bunnie do you need an assistant!? Omfg.” “Matt took ALL the words outta my mouth!! I’m so poor, I live in a trailer, this is for shoes?!?! I loooove it but man my life suuucks.” “Looking for a house manager?” “Alright lemme go back to my shack.” “I can’t even afford groceries rn. This must be amazing…” “A house so nice you get genuinely pissed off about it lmao.” “Can I have one of those chandeliers to sell to pay my daughters college tuition? Like seriously….” “In all seriousness tho, it’s a gorgeous house…. low key jealous of the closet and makeup room.” It looks like she still has to finish moving her stuff in and make it all exactly how she wants it, and I’m sure once all of that is done, she’ll give fans a full tour of the finished space which already looks quite spectacular.The post Bunnie Xo Shows Of The New Multi-Million Dollar House She’s Keeping In Divorce From Jelly Roll first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Darius Rucker Says He’s Retiring In Two Years: “Played 110 Shows Last Year… What Am I Doing?”

Darius Rucker is not only flirting with retirement… he knows exactly when and where he wants to go out. The country star who brought the world hits like “Alright” and “Wagon Wheel” (a cover, to be clear) recently sat down with Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show, and two got to talking about how much longer they both want to do their respective jobs. The longtime sports radio personality, now 70 years old, says he’s got two more years before he walks away. Rucker was on board with that plan. The “Come Back Song” singer was incredibly open and transparent about what he’s got going on, and what he enjoys doing at this point in his life. Towards the end of the conversation, Rucker admitted that he’s pondering retirement, and like Dan Patrick, thinks he’s only got a couple of years to go before he hangs it up: “(I’m retiring) in two years. I might. I’ve been really looking at it. I played 110 shows last year… what am I doing? I still like making records and playing and everything, but I’m really starting to be at home a lot. I like being at home a lot. So I’m looking at maybe doing a tour. One more big ‘Hootie’ thing (and calling it).” Darius is 60 years 0ld, and will turn 61 next May. With the average retirement age being around 65 or 66, he’d be calling it quits a bit earlier if he stopped… but I don’t think anyone would blame him for doing so. And if he went out with a bang, and went back on the road with Hootie and the Blowfish, I’m sure that would make the news of his retirement easier to digest for his fans. From how Darius Rucker spoke about retiring, there’s no version of the story where he doesn’t get Hootie back together for one last hoorah when he decides to bow and exit the stage for the last time. He knows the perfect place for he and Hootie and the Blowfish’ finale: “If we call it, I’ve got to do one more Hootie thing. We have to finish at Williams-Brice Stadium. Our last show, when we say we’re done, it’s gotta be at Williams-Brice Stadium (in South Carolina).” .@dariusrucker says he plans on retiring in 2 years, and teases a Hootie reunion.

For most of his life, Rucker has lived in the Charleston, South Carolina area (beautiful place if you’ve never been). That is until he moved to London, England in early 2025. He’s been quoted saying that his time there will be temporary, and that the Carolinas will always be home to him. So it makes sense that he’d want to finish off his career in his home state. All in all, it’s a bittersweet revelation. Obviously, you can’t help but be happy for Darius. He’s one of the many country stars with a respectable golf game, so retirement could open up some time in the golfing department. On the other hand, it’s sad to see some of the older country stars wrap up their careers. Tracy Lawrence may have said it best… “Time Marches On.”The post Darius Rucker Says He’s Retiring In Two Years: “Played 110 Shows Last Year… What Am I Doing?” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
