Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO first met in 2015 at one of the singer's concerts in Las Vegas, where he was opening for Moonshine Bandits. Their connection was instant, as Bunny mentioned in her memoir, Stripped Down. She was mesmerized by Jelly Roll.
Soon after they met, Jelly Rose invited Bunnie to join him on tour, which was the beginning of their whirlwind romance. Despite both carrying difficult pasts, they quickly grew close and supported each other through life's challenges. In 2016, during another Las Vegas show, Jelly Roll surprised Bunnie with an impromptu proposal, asking if she would marry him. The couple exchanged vows at a Las Vegas wedding chapel just hours later.
In 2023, the singer credited his wife as his biggest supporter. While Jelly Roll began to gain fame and recognition in 2020, Bunny also began her own podcast, Dumb Blonde. She had helped him with getting the custody of his daughter back from another relationship.
“I’ll never forget, Bunnie looked at me and, man it makes me emotional, she said, ‘No matter what happens with us, I’m gonna help you get this little girl,’” Jelly recalled on Bussin' With The Boys. “And I was like, man, what character… Because dude, I’m broke. I can’t afford the lawyer, I can’t afford anything. What am I gonna do, put the kid in a van? And Bunnie’s like, ‘I’ll help you.’”
Years later, in 2023, they returned to the same chapel to renew their vows. But their life after marriage was not without ups and downs.
Jelly Roll and Bunny XO survived multiple trials and tribulations
Jelly Roll and Bunny XO’s personal hardships tested their relationship. They even broke for a brief time in 2018. However, the two worked through it and started counseling, which helped them get back together.
The two raised Jelly Roll’s kids, Bailee and Noah, from his other relationship. And later, they tried to have their own kids. Bunny XO even underwent the IVF process, which she called the most difficult phase of her life.
