Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, are a happily married couple that met during traumatic times in both of their lives and have worked through each other’s problems together.
But some people don’t realize that Bunnie and Jelly Roll’s love for one another goes all the way back to before Jelly Roll had any money or fame, and she constantly gets accused of being a gold digger.
Jelly Roll was a guest with me on Taste of Country Nights where he bluntly defended his wife against any gold digging allegations.
“I love it when they call her a gold digger. It’s my favorite thing. She hates it. It just flames her up. But it just tickles me absolutely pink because when I met her, I was homeless living out of a 1996 conversion van, so if anyone was digging for gold it was I, Popeye.”
The “Save Me” singer admits he was the real winner and gold digger. “I was couch surfing and made it to the bedroom, ya know?”
When Did Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo Meet?
They first crossed paths in 2015 at one of Jelly Roll’s shows at a Las Vegas bar called the Country Saloon.
Bunnie was in the audience and later met him backstage. At the time Jelly Roll was still relatively unknown and Bunnie was in another relationship, so they initially stayed friends.
