Jelly Roll Releases New Song, “Thorns,” In Honor Of Wife Bunnie Xo For Valentine’s Day
Jelly Roll & Bunnie Xo’s Adorable Love Story
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s sweet love story began when the couple met in 2015 during one of his performances at a small bar in Las Vegas.
“We hit it off,” he said during an interview with Taste of Country. “She said she fell in love with the saddest eyes in the room.”
Just one year later, during one of his concerts in Sin City, Jelly Roll spontaneously proposed to Bunnie and they eloped at a Vegas chapel the same night.
In August 2023, the couple revisited the same Vegas chapel and renewed their vows surrounded by loved ones, sharing a full-circle moment in their life together.

Over the years, the couple has shared precious affection for one another. Through all of life’s ups and downs, they’ve consistently shown a sweet, unwavering love.
Jelly Roll has shared how Bunnie is not only special to him, but also to his two children, Bailee and Noah, who he has from previous relationships.
“It takes a special kind of woman to raise a kid that isn’t her child and still treat the child as if she was,” Jelly Roll said in a post on Instagram. “Bunnie is that special woman, outside of the social media, outside of the podcast, and all the business endeavors she does and helps me with, Bunnie is a beautiful soul.
Bunnie is also Jelly’s biggest fan, and will go to great lengths to protect him.
In September 2025, Bunnie called out those making insensitive remarks regarding her husband’s new look following his impressive weight loss journey. Bunnie shared many comments she had been receiving insinuating Jelly looked “hot” after he started looking slimmer.
Is he… Cause he’s always had the same face. He’s always had the same heart. He’s always had the same soul,” Bunnie said at the time.
