Bunnie Xo Announces Next Chapter: College Bound After Jelly Roll Split

What's next for Bunnie Xo after her split from country star Jelly Roll? The answer appears to be hitting the books.

The 46-year-old podcast host, whose real name is Alisa Carter, revealed via her Instagram Story on Friday that she has been accepted into Arizona State University, as reported by Page Six. She shared a screenshot of the school's acceptance message, captioning it, "Dr. Xo, loading?" and setting the post to the tune of Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire."

This new chapter follows a major personal shift. Last month, Page Six confirmed that Jelly Roll, 41, quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18 after nearly a decade of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." The filing was made in Williamson County, Tennessee, where the couple lived, and they agreed to divide their assets and debts.

According to Page Six, she said, "On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary. 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 reportedly noted that in their relationship, that is the one cardinal thing you don't say, "even though my husband has said it numerous times," adding, "But, when I say it, it really holds weight because I'm not the type of person who says what I don't mean." The argument ended with Bunnie packing a bag and leaving.

Bunnie also reportedly suggested that the couple's IVF journey added strain. The announcement of her college acceptance seems to mark a decisive pivot toward focusing on her own future. While the specific degree program she'll pursue is not yet known, her "Dr. Xo" caption hints at ambitious academic goals.

Fans have often seen the couple's public, supportive dynamic, making the private struggles and sudden split a notable turn. Bunnie's move to further her education suggests she's channeling this life change into personal growth, a narrative that resonates with many of her followers. As she loads "Dr. Xo," the world watches to see what this next act holds for the media personality.
