Bunnie Xo has been sober for seven years now, but she broke sobriety and drank alcohol during Jelly Roll‘s tour stop in Rome, Italy.
“Ya girl drank. When in Rome,” she writes, sharing video of a date night out with Jelly.
The singer is currently in Europe as part of Post Malone’s Big A– Stadium Tour, and it looks like Bunnie’s along for the ride with him. She’s been sharing photos and videos of her European adventures since the tour’s overseas started in early August.
On this particular night, they went out dancing and clubbing.
The video shows Bunnie and Jelly singing along to Run-D.M.C.’s “Walk This Way,” Aerosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” and more classics. They even sang karaoke to Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.”
And yes, in most of the clips, Bunnie’s holding a bottle of what appears to be something alcoholic in her hand.
What Did Bunnie Say About Her Decision to Drink?
Bunnie’s been open about her sobriety journey with her fans, so many in the comments section were confused.
She cleared the air with an explanation, pinned to the top of the comments section on the post.
“Before anyone can say another ‘I thought you were sober’ comment. Yes I’m sober, I stopped drinking in 2018 bc my mental health couldn’t handle the hangovers the next day,” Bunnie explains.

But she chose to stop drinking alcohol for mental health and wellness reasons, not because she was addicted to alcohol.
“If I want to let my hair down w/ my husband and have a drink in Rome — I will,” she continues. “BEST NIGHT EVERRRRRRR.”
What Else Has Bunnie Xo Said About Her Sobriety?
Bunnie Xo had a powerful reason to pursue sobriety.
She let go of several harmful habits while she and Jelly were working to gain full custody of his daughter from a previous relationship, Bailee. Bunnie also noted that she doesn’t want to be like her mom, who struggled with addiction.
During the 2010s, she used pills and cocaine as well as drinking alcohol.

Bunnie says she quit using pills and cocaine in 2017 and stopped drinking alcohol in 2018.
She also said that Jelly started his journey toward becoming “soberish” in 2020, but that he’ll still have “an occasional celebratory drink” if the occasion calls for it.
Did Jelly Roll Drink With Bunnie Xo in Rome?
It’s not clear from her social media video whether or not Jelly was sharing the bottle Bunnie had in her hand.
It’s a little more common for him to talk about imbibing than it is for her to say she’s had a drink. Jelly has mentioned going out and drinking after big accomplishments, like awards show wins.
But of course, this trip wasn’t a vacation per se for Jelly. He’s performing 18 dates in total as part of Post’s Big A– Stadium Tour, so his voice has to stay in tip-top shape throughout the month.
So he might have abstained, or limited his alcohol consumption, in order to keep his vocal cords strong for the shows.

Additionally, Jelly is committed to his weight loss journey and has a pretty strict diet regimen, so alcohol might not fit into that routine.
What’s Next for Jelly Roll?
Based on Bunnie’s social media posts, the couple and their friends enjoyed some days off in Italy before he performs in Milan on Wednesday night (Aug. 27).
After that, the Big A– Stadium Tour will hit cities in Switzerland, Germany, France, England and more countries.
The tour concludes with a stop in Lisbon, Portugal on Sept. 14.
