Those curious about the inspiration behind Jelly Roll’s sentimental songwriting need to look no further than his wife, Bunnie XO.
In 2016, Jelly Roll asked Bunnie XO to marry him while on stage during a live concert in Las Vegas.
That same night, unbeknownst to friends and family, the couple spontaneously tied the knot in a courthouse wedding.
In addition to becoming Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO also became a stepmom to the country music singer’s daughter, Bailee, and son, Noah.
While simultaneously helping Jelly Roll pursue his music career, Bunnie XO also went after her dream of starting her own podcast. In 2019,
the Dumb Blonde podcast was born and has since amassed over 165,000 followers on Instagram.

Following the launch of Dumb Blonde season 6 in 2023, Jelly Roll wrote a heartfelt tribute to Bunnie XO in honor
of her major accomplishment and shared “how it was her means to end working in the sex industry for good.”
“She wanted to do it on her own, she didn’t want to be just ‘Jelly Roll’s wife,’
” the country music artist wrote on Instagram, noting that Bunnie XO built her brand with “zero help” from him.
When Bunnie XO isn’t producing her own podcast, she’s backstage cheering
on the singer. In July 2023, Jelly Roll serenaded his wife during a concert in Alpharetta, Georgia. A fan later shared the sweet moment on YouTube.
Over the years, the podcaster has accompanied Jelly Roll to a number of red carpet events, including the 2023 CMT Awards, where he took home three awards.
