Bunnie XO Reflects on Marriage, Compares it to a Decade-Long Prison Sentence

Bunnie XO, estranged wife of country star Jelly Roll, has drawn a striking parallel between her 10-year marriage and a decade-long prison sentence, speaking out amidst news of Jelly Roll dating again. The couple’s divorce, filed in May, marked the end of a decade-long union.

In a recent episode of her podcast, ‘Dumb Blonde,’ Bunnie XO shared a candid message she received from an admirer who is nearing the end of a 10-year prison term. The man’s plea for a rendezvous upon his release prompted Bunnie to reflect on her own marriage.

Marriage as a ’10-Year Bid’

The message, read aloud by Bunnie, stated: “Hey pretty lady, I’m about to get out of prison on a 10-year bid next year. Please let me go out and have a time with you. That’s all I ask. I promise it will be worth it. Hit me back.” While Bunnie admitted she didn’t object to the man being incarcerated, she took issue with the expectation of immediate intimacy on a first date.

Her co-host lightheartedly noted that after a decade, the man might “need it.” Bunnie responded with a quip, “I mean, same,” before declaring, “I just got out of a 10-year bid too, b****es.” This statement directly likened her marriage to the inmate’s lengthy incarceration.

Jelly Roll Addresses Divorce Publicly

The comments come shortly after Jelly Roll himself addressed the divorce publicly during a concert. He affirmed that everything Bunnie had stated on her podcast regarding their separation was truthful, emphasizing his enduring love and friendship for her. He publicly declared Bunnie as “my best friend forever” and expressed gratitude for their decade together, looking forward to continued friendship.

Earlier, a video shared by Jelly Roll, titled “Divorce Vlog,” depicted an affectionate phone call with Bunnie. He cheekily told viewers, “Yeah, y’all thought we were gonna hate each other, didn’t ya? Plot twist, b****es!” He also teased “piping hot tea about the divorce” before Bunnie’s voice appeared on speakerphone, promoting her podcast episode on the matter.

Continuing Family Ties and Future Plans

Despite the divorce, Bunnie revealed that she and Jelly Roll are still actively involved in a two-year IVF process to have a child together. She reassured fans that she is “happy for him” as he begins to date again, dismissing rumors of romantic links to younger artists. Bunnie also vehemently denied speculation that she is romantically involved with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.

Bunnie described their relationship dynamic as one where they “never really been good at having disagreements,” leading to suppressed emotions that ultimately became “a recipe for disaster.” She recounted an argument on Mother’s Day that culminated in her telling Jelly Roll to “file the f**king divorce papers,” which she later admitted was said out of anger, leaving her blindsided when he followed through.

The couple also faced significant heartbreak during their IVF journey, having lost four embryos and endured three failed transfers. Bunnie expressed frustration over the inability to have a child together despite their strong desire.

Reflections on Their Decade Together

Bunnie referred to Jelly Roll as her “twin flame” and “soulmate,” emphasizing her deep love for him regardless of their marital status. She acknowledged her own struggles with marriage, having been married three times previously. Bunnie credited Jelly Roll with saving her life during their early days, recalling her past struggles with addiction and escort work.

She also highlighted their mutual support, stating that Jelly Roll would not be where he is today without her. The couple also navigated the complexities of raising Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee Ann, who is reportedly upset about the divorce.

Focus on Personal Growth and New Beginnings

Bunnie revealed that she immediately began hormone replacement therapy and therapy after learning of the divorce, losing 15 pounds in the process. She expressed a desire to have worked things out in therapy with Jelly Roll but confirmed they are parting on amicable terms, hinting at a generous divorce settlement. Jelly Roll is reportedly gifting her their unfinished dream home.

Now single, Bunnie is embracing her newfound freedom, stating, “I’m ready to have fun” and encouraging other women to “reclaim your power, you can be sexy again.” She also addressed Jelly Roll’s removal of her name from his Instagram bio, noting that she had done the same shortly after the divorce news broke.
