Standing on stage in Saratoga Springs, Jelly Roll paused his concert to set the record straight about .

The country artist, real name Jason DeFord, insisted last Thursday that, despite filing to to Bunnie XO in May, they are still 'best friends' and 'will always be best friends.'

Bunnie, too, even said on a recent episode of her podcast, Dumb Blonde, that their marriage was ending 'on the best possible terms.'

Indeed, it appears the split between Jelly Roll, 41, and Bunnie, 46, is remarkably amicable - though it seems the same could not be said for some of the former escort's past romances.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Bunnie's ex-husband Francisco 'Frankie' Lombardo has laid bare his jealousy over Bunnie's various 'sugar daddies,' and how she 'destroyed' him when she left him for another man after four years together.

'Bunnie was the only girl that broke my heart,' said music producer Lombardo, 43. 'She left me for another man and... [it] f*****g destroyed my life in a sense. And she got with some dude [who she dated before Jelly Roll] who beat her up, which was a f*****g nightmare.'

Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie XO in May after nearly ten years of marriage

Before getting together with the country artist, Bunnie was married to a Vegas man, Francisco 'Frankie' Lombardo (pictured) for four years before they filed a joint petition for divorce

When the pair first met on MySpace in 2009, Lombardo would confide in Bunnie about issues he was having with his then-girlfriend.

At the time, Bunnie was married to Christopher Gilbert and worked as a dancer at Olympic Gardens, a strip club in Las Vegas, now called Peppermint Hippo. Lombardo said she 'had nothing,' 'no career,' and was hustling on the side with 'sugar daddies' who would send her money.

She asked him to meet up over a drink and, unbeknownst to him, Gilbert would be there too. But that didn't stop Bunnie from whispering in a confused Lombardo's ear: 'I want to make out with you.'

About a week later, Lombardo moved in with Bunnie.

Bunnie and Gilbert, who hails from Las Vegas, were married from July 2008 until September 2009, as seen in documents obtained by the Daily Mail.

Lombardo - who later served Gilbert the divorce papers - is adamant that there was no cheating on Bunnie's part, and that she and Gilbert were already separated before he moved in with her.

'It was really f*****g weird, man,' Lombardo recalled. 'He's just a normal dude, kind of a weird dude. And they have a little bit of a checkered past, I guess, but I was glad to serve the guy papers. I'll never forget that.'

Five months later in February 2010, Bunnie tied the knot with Lombardo in Maui, Hawaii, on Valentine's Day after they 'came into a little money.'

'We were like, "Hey, let's go to Hawaii and let's get married." And we did it,' said Lombardo, a Las Vegas native himself.

'I think we took like 20 grand cash. It was just me and her and a photographer and a limo and someone that swore us in and that was it.'

Lombardo described their marriage as 'very adventurous,' likening her to Bonnie and he to Clyde.

'It was good. I really loved her and I think that we were definitely extremely close,' he recalled. 'We're f*****g best friends... She was a good wife.'

Lombardo (pictured center with Bunnie, left, and his mom, Kimberlie 'Kittie' Lombardo, right) told the Daily Mail that he and Bunnie were 'best friends' during their marriage and that his family eventually moved in with them

Jelly Roll and Bunnie are still 'best friends,' despite going through a divorce, and they even have plans to have a baby together (pictured together in January 2026)

Lombardo, for his part, said that he and Bunnie tried to have kids together

Lombardo, meanwhile, was charged with domestic battery by strangulation in December 2023 after an alleged incident involving his then-girlfriend, according to a report by the New York Post.

'It should be noted that while en route to the jail, Frankie stated that he should've beat her ass, beat the s**t out of her, and beat the dog s**t out of her,' a police officer wrote in the report.

The case was dismissed in 2024, the same year that he and his ex broke up.

Lombardo denied the allegations, telling PageSix: 'I would never put my hands on a woman.'

Jelly Roll and Bunnie each have their own criminal history.

The musician is a convicted felon and served time for robbery and drug offenses before stepping into the spotlight. Bunnie, meanwhile, has openly discussed her past drug addiction and multiple arrests, even sharing old mugshots online in which she ranges in age from 19 to 26.

After the couple met in Las Vegas in 2015 and wed a year later, it seemed they were in it for the long haul, overcoming their struggles with addiction and Jelly Roll's admitted affair. So, it came as quite a shock to fans when news of their divorce broke last week.

But , the Grammy winner has seemingly distanced himself from his tumultuous past amid a very public shift towards Christianity. Their starkly different public personas, insiders say, played a part in their split.

While Bunnie officially retired from sex work in 2023, her candid discussions on her podcast - which often veer into X-rated and touch on her marital sex life - and sultry social media posts do not seem to jive with her husband's newfound faith.

'There is just such a conflict in what's going on. He's preaching this Christian way of life. She's posing mostly naked and talking about porn and penises on her podcast,' one insider told us last week. 'At every turn, she's just kind of embarrassing him and wrecking every PR narrative that they're trying to create.'

But according to Lombardo, who has never met Jelly Roll, now is Bunnie's time to 'blossom.'

He told the Daily Mail, 'I think we're going to witness her really kind of blossom now and kind of step into herself a little bit more as an individual and not really be in the Jelly shadow.'

But he did send a warning her way: 'I was like, "Just do me a favor. Don't get f*****g married." It'd be the fourth time. It makes no sense.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Bunnie XO for comment.
