As fans of Jelly Roll know, he’s not single, and is regularly accompanied by his wife, Bunnie XO. They married in 2016, after dating for about a year. One night while in Las Vegas, the Nashville rapper popped the question to the former sex worker — while he was onstage at a Deftones concert. After the concert, he decided they should get hitched right then and there. “I’m like, ‘F*** it, let’s just go now.’ She’s like, ‘The courthouse is open for like … 44 more minutes,” he said in a TikTok video, revealing they each said “I do” just before midnight.
At the time that he and Bunnie tied the knot, Jelly Roll’s life was a far cry from what it would become. “I was a lost cause, I was in the middle of custody battle, I was broke, living out of van doing 200 shows a year for $200 a show,” he wrote in an Facebook tribute to his spouse. As he explained, she quite literally turned his life around. “It was truly the turning point in my career and life,” he added, crediting Bunnie with helping him get custody of daughter Bailee Ann.

Bunnie, however, wasn’t content to merely be the wife of a successful country-rap star, and forged her own identity with the launch of her “Dumb Blonde Podcast.” Among the various guests she’s interviewed have been Jelly Roll himself, who appeared in a June 2020 episode.
