Bunnie Xo shared a video of herself singing a breakup song.

The blonde beauty, 46, slightly hinted at the split the day the news was announced, as she posted a video of herself lip-syncing along to Nickelback's famous breakup tune "How You Remind Me."

"It’s not like you didn’t know that / I said, 'I love you,' and I swear, I still do / And it must have been so bad / ‘Cause living with me must have d--- near killed you / … And this is how you remind me / Of what I really am,” sang the memoir author, whose real name is Alisa DeFord.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo separated in 2018 after the former had an affair.

The twosome married in 2016 but briefly separated two years later due to the "Need a Favor" crooner having an affair.

In Bunnie Xo's memoir, she called the pain of the betrayal "intense," but ultimately, she forgave the star, who has struggled with substance abuse.

That was the second time she reconciled with Jelly Roll, and she admitted on The Kelly Clarkson Show, "Will he get a third? Absolutely f------ not. Let's just make that clear. But he did deserve the second chance, and that was seven years ago, and he became the man that he is today. I'm so thankful that I was willing to work it out with him and stick it out with him."
