Jelly Roll's Jimmy Kimmel Live Monologue: What to Expect

Last year, country music star Jelly Roll made his mark on Jimmy Kimmel Live, hosting the show during the late-night comedian's summer break. His return to the desk this year is just as exciting, given the high-profile divorce from podcaster Bunnie Xo that has been making headlines. But will he speak about his recent separation on stage? During a performance last week, Jelly said, "This is the only time I will ever speak about it," when asked about his divorce.

In the months leading up to his marriage to Bunnie, Jelly had already addressed cheating rumors that swirled around him. Onstage in Saratoga Springs, New York, he declared, "Nobody cheated on nobody." The couple's separation became public knowledge when a divorce filing was revealed on June 15, with the date of the filing dated May 18. Since then, both Jelly and Bunnie have discussed their plans for their respective futures.

During an episode of Bunnie's Dumb Blonde podcast, she expressed interest in having a baby with Jelly. "You guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we're still having a baby," she said.

Jelly Roll, a native of Antioch, Tennessee, first took the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage last year. In his monologues, he touched on various topics, including his weight, tattoos, and even the UFC fight at the White House, joking that it's "awesome" and "where I'm from, watching two methheads beat the piss out of each other on a lawn is just a part of our year." This year's performance, however, will likely focus on more personal issues, given the recent news about his divorce.

ABC and Kimmel announced the guest hosts lineup late last week, which includes Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Rosie O'Donnell, and Jelly Roll. We will have to wait and see if Jelly Roll's monologue will live up to his promise of only speaking about his divorce once.
