Bunnie XO has shared intimate details about her open relationship with husband Jelly Roll in her memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. The book reveals a past affair that tested their bond, while recent interviews highlight positive changes from his weight loss. Jelly Roll has praised her bravery in telling their story.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because Bunnie XO is spilling all the tea on her marriage to Jelly Roll in her tell-all memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. The 46-year-old podcaster dives into their 'free, not open' relationship dynamic, where they've long allowed each other freedoms—like welcoming third parties home or her sleeping with other men if she wants. But things got messy when Bunnie discovered Jelly's ten-month affair with an ex (not a baby mama, she clarifies). It wasn't just the physical side that stung; it was the emotional betrayal, including him setting up a house for the ex and wanting her to care for his daughter Bailee. 'And out of everything, that’s what made me sick. It wasn’t about him f–king this broad — it was about emotionally cheating and then wanting her to play mommy to a little girl I’d fallen in love with,' Bunnie writes. She calls it 'one of the worst moments of my adulthood,' and admits recovery took years: 'It would take years for me to put the affair aside. It would take years to actually feel like this man loved me — that I wasn’t disposable.'
Fast-forward to brighter days: the couple, married since 2016, is now expecting twins via IVF and a surrogate. Jelly Roll, 41, read the memoir and found it 'rough at times,' but he's beaming with pride. 'I'm just proud of her for telling her story so unapologetically... She's so brave,' he told People. On The Howard Stern Show, Bunnie dished on how Jelly's nearly 300-pound weight loss has boosted his confidence—he's 'peacocking around' with a strut—and, ahem, made things 'severely bigger' in the bedroom. 'I will tell you that it is very true that when a man loses weight, it grows a lot,' she revealed with a laugh. Previously, Jelly had called their pre-weight-loss sex life 'horrible.' At the Grammys, where he won Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, Jelly thanked Bunnie tearfully: 'I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail.' From rocky roads to IVF dreams—talk about a plot twist! 🔥
