Fans have been busy trying to figure out what led Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo to call it quits after 10 years together. For the uninitiated, it was only last month that Jelly thanked his wife for her unwavering support, which made the news even more confusing for fans.

However, now the question is: Did Chad Kroeger really cause the couple to split?

Is Chad Kroeger responsible for Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s divorce?
Fans have been trying to connect the dots between Chad Kroeger and the shocking split of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo ever since they noticed a pattern in the latter’s social media activity. What further intensified the speculation was an old Nickelback video, which led many to wonder if the rock frontman had something to do with the couple’s divorce. For the unversed, the first video that left everyone curious was from May 27, 2026 (ET), in which Bunnie could be seen with the Nickelback frontman.

The clip featured the song Figured You Out and Bunnie was also heard calling him “Daddy Chaddy”. While fans initially thought it was a joke, the timing has now prompted them to reconsider the post. The post could be read as:
“The moment I finally got to be back in his arms. Swoon.”

Things got further intriguing hours after the news of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s divorce went public. The latter posted another video of herself lip-syncing to Nickelback’s hit song, How You Remind Me. For the unversed, the song is about a toxic relationship and features Chad Kroeger singing about an argument with his girlfriend. This was enough for fans to start a full-blown theory that Chad Kroeger was somehow involved in the breakup.
