Bunnie Xo‘s ex-husband, Frankie Lombardo, continues to be carrying a torch for his former wife.
After news broke that Bunnie, 46, and Jelly Roll, 41, have filed for divorce, Lombardo spoke to Page Six about his ex on Friday, June 19.
“We talk day-after-day,” Lombardo, 43, told the outlet. He added that he “wouldn’t say no” to getting back along with Bunnie if she was open to the concept.
“She was the one woman who ever broke my heart. I feel like there’s loads of unfinished business between us, but I may be the just one who feels that way,” Lombardo said.“I like her very much. I won’t ever do anything to harm her. I don’t think that’s ever going to go away.”
Lombardo, who was married to Bunnie from 2009 to 2015, praised the Stripped Down creator as he described their current relationship dynamic.
“We’ve got an interesting friendship. Sometimes she still talks to me like she’s my wife and reprimands me,” Lombardo told Page Six.
He added, “Bunnie is my best friend.”
Us Weekly confirmed on June 15 that Jelly Roll filed to finish his marriage one month prior, submitting a divorce petition in Tennessee on May 18.
Speaking on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast on Thursday, June 18, Bunnie opened up about what caused them to call it quits.
“J and I actually have never really been good at having disagreements. So, we were the variety of couple who never argued. So, he could be holding things in. I could be holding things in, and that’s a recipe for disaster,” Bunnie explained on the podcast. “We all the time preach you gotta be comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations, and we did that for eight years in. Then the past 12 months and a half, we form of got away from that because we’re in a distinct life without delay.”

Bunnie added that a fight that they had on Mother’s Day in May was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Throughout the argument, Bunnie said she told him to “file the f***ing divorce papers.”
For his part, Jelly Roll broke his silence on the pair’s separation on stage during a performance in Saratoga Springs, NY.
“I wasn’t going to speak about this tonight, but while we’re talking about liars… the web is a liar,” Jelly Roll said in footage shared via his Instagram. “It’s the one time and the one city I’m going to discuss this so break your camera phones out now.”
Bunnie Xo is able to shine a lightweight on what went flawed in her nearly 10-year marriage to Jelly Roll. “My family was all the time so essential to me, and after I said those vows with him, I actually meant them,” Bunnie, 46, shared on the Thursday, June 18, episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “J […]
The “Save Me” singer shot down speculation there was an infidelity involved of their decision to call time on their marriage.
“Me and my wife are best friends. We’ll all the time be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today,” he said. “No person cheated on no one. She just did a complete podcast about it. You’ll be able to go watch it. Every word of it’s the reality.”
The country star, who tied the knot with Bunnie in August 2016, ended with a message for his estranged wife directly, sharing gratitude for his or her relationship.
“Bunnie, I like you baby. Thanks for those 10 years. They were incredible. Thanks for the following 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that,” he said.
