Jelly Roll shot to stardom almost overnight. But in reality, he was hustling in the music industry for years before the rest of the world caught on. He credits most of his success to his wife, Bunnie Xo. However, some people think she’s only with him for his money. He broke his silence and opened up about the claims that his wife is a gold digger after his money. Keep reading for his surprising response.
Jelly Roll Breaks Silence On Bunnie Xo Gold Digger Claims
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s love story began in a bar in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was in the audience at the saloon where he was performing. The two met backstage, but romance didn’t blossom immediately. Bunnie Xo was in a relationship at the time, so they stayed just friends. A year later, they were married.
They’ve been through some ups and downs over the years, but remain committed to each other. Anyone in the public eye has their fair share of haters, and Bunnie Xo is no different. She has been open about her life as a sex worker before she met Jelly Roll. Due to her previous career, some of his fans have labeled her a gold digger who is only with him for his money.
Taste of Country Nights went right to the source and asked Jelly Roll his thoughts on the rumors. Jelly Roll admitted that he finds the whole “gold digger” allegation hilarious. However, Bunnie Xo isn’t amused. He said that she hates it and it “flames her up.”
After revealing how much he enjoys seeing his wife riled up, Jelly Roll shut down the speculation about her intentions. “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. I was couch-surfing and made it to the bedroom,” he told the outlet.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo were married long before he became a hitmaker. They married in 2016, and he didn’t gain worldwide fame until around 2022.
Bunnie Xo Admits She Downplayed Affair
Bunnie Xo is supportive of her husband, but she has her own career, as well. She hosts the Dumb Blonde podcast and recently wrote a memoir detailing her time as a sex worker. Several months before the book’s release, Jelly Roll admitted during an interview to infidelity during his marriage to Bunnie Xo.
She shares her side of that story in Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. However, she may not have given the whole story. Bunnie Xo confessed to Us Weekly that she “toned down” the affair in the book. Jelly Roll’s denial that he married a gold digger probably won’t mean much to the haters.
