A celebrity love story that I love so much is that of Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO. Like Jelly’s music, it just has such a realness to it. It feels like something the average person can attain, and I don’t know, I just really love it. And listen, doing this job, I know I’m not the only person who’s been captivated by their story. Their journey through life has been marked with ups and downs, lots of personal growth, and success stories in both their personal and professional lives. Through their ups and downs, the two have been the biggest of cheerleaders for one another’s success.
Jelly, even recently, announced that the two would like to try and have a baby soon.
Bunnie XO, who on top of being a model, has also built a big name in the podcasting world. Her brand, like her husband, has been all about being unapologetically herself. Her fans eat it up, as they should. She’s really great at sharing moments of her life through her podcast, and especially through her social media platforms. Bunnie XO also recently opened up with PEOPLE about the first time she laid eyes on Jelly Roll.
How Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO Met
It was here, in Las Vegas. The year was 2015 and Jelly had been making quite the name for himself on the east coast. However, he still was fairly unfamiliar on this side of the country. The two met at the iconic Las Vegas Country Saloon when he was the opening act for the Moonshine Bandits. In fact, Bunnie XO was at that specific show to see the Moonshine Bandits. Thankfully, she got there early enough to catch Jelly’s opening act.
She recalls to PEOPLE that the crowd was almost non-existent during Jelly’s time on stage, but watching him perform made her think to herself, “What is THIS? What is this man? This big Southern boy.”
And because there were so few people at the show, she was able to meet him quite easily, she recalls. The two hit it off immediately and before you knew it, they were married the next year.

All love stories have their unique challenges, and Jelly and Bunnie’s is no exception. Over the years, the two have openly spoken about their short breakup in 2018. Thankfully, the time apart ultimately helped them build a stronger relationship.
“… It ain’t been all Hallmark cards and Care Bears.” Jelly told the folks at PEOPLE, but reminded them that every challenge was worth it, because of where they are today.
