Jelly Roll is no stranger to being candid about his struggles, and in a recent Human School podcast appearance, the country-rap artist opened up about one of the most challenging chapters of his personal life. Speaking honestly about his past, Jelly Roll reflected on his infidelity and the long road to rebuilding his relationship with his wife, Bunnie XO.
During the interview, Jelly Roll admitted that the affair was one of the lowest points of his adult life. “It was the first time that I was like, ‘I really can’t get this right at all. I know I’m in love with this woman,’” he confessed. “It just hit me hard, and it took me to a place of deep self-reflection.” He described how the pain of betraying his wife was something he never imagined he would endure, but it ultimately became a turning point in his life.
Since the affair, Jelly Roll says he’s worked tirelessly to repair his relationship with Bunnie XO. “The repair has been special,” he said, expressing pride in how far they’ve come. “We’re stronger than we could have ever been.” He acknowledged that while he wishes their story had never included the affair, he is proud of the couple’s growth and how they’ve overcome the challenges they faced.
Jelly Roll’s love for Bunnie XO is clear, as he often praises her for the unwavering support she has shown him over the years. He credits her with playing a pivotal role in his transformation, both as a person and as an artist. “She helped me change my life in ways I can’t even explain,” Jelly Roll shared. “She’s been my constant, my motivator, and my greatest supporter.”
The couple, who married in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023, has been through much together, and their bond is stronger than ever. “I’m proud of who we are today,” Jelly Roll said, a sentiment that reflects the resilience and love that have defined their relationship.
In addition to their personal growth, Jelly Roll has made significant physical changes. After struggling with his weight for much of his life, the artist has reportedly lost 200 pounds, once weighing in at 550 pounds. His dramatic transformation is a reflection of his overall commitment to self-improvement and the love he has for his family.
“I’ve come a long way, and it’s because of my family,” Jelly Roll said. “They saved my life, and they gave me the strength to keep going. That’s something no award or recognition could ever compare to.”
Their story is one of redemption, forgiveness, and unwavering love, and it serves as a reminder that with the right support, even the most difficult challenges can be overcome.
