Jelly Roll’s wife Bunnie Xo breaks silence after country star revealed regret over his affair

by

Okay, so Jelly Roll recently shared some really vulnerable things about his past, specifically admitting he wasn’t always faithful to his wife, Bunnie Xo. It was tough to hear, but so brave of him. Now, Bunnie herself has finally spoken out about it, and honestly, I admire how she’s handling everything with such grace and honesty. It’s a reminder that relationships aren’t always perfect, and open communication is key, even when it’s incredibly difficult.

The singer, who is 40 years old, recently revealed on the Human School podcast that having an affair was one of the most difficult experiences of his adult life.

On Thursday, she posted to her Instagram stories a screenshot of a message she received from a fan. The message said, ‘I’m so sorry to hear your husband cheated on you, but you forgave him and seem to be doing great!’

I’m really disappointed and losing respect for you. It’s hard to understand how anyone could defend this behavior. I hope things get better for everyone involved, especially for those who are hurting.

Bunnie replied, ‘It takes real strength to confront pain directly, work through it, and rebuild a relationship with the person you love, rather than avoiding the issue or talking about it behind their back.’

The celebrity explained, ‘Changing and evolving isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s actually a beautiful thing. But it takes a lot of inner strength, and I hope no one ever experiences the hurt that comes from criticizing another woman’s choices.’

Ugh, can you BELIEVE someone actually commented that on my post? Like, ‘You got cheated on and STILL stayed with him’ – with laughing emojis, no less! It’s just… infuriating. Does everyone think I’m crazy for trying to work things out? It’s my life, and honestly, it’s none of their business!

The celebrity responded with a poignant statement, implying someone had never experienced deep love without directly saying so.

As a huge follower of Bunnie’s, I was so excited to see she dropped another hint about the singer’s affair! She mentioned in a recent post that she’ll be sharing even more details in her memoir, ‘Stripped Down: Unfiltered And Unapologetic,’ which comes out on February 11, 2026. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy – I can’t wait to read it!

Singer Jelly Roll (known for his song ‘Son of a Sinner’) married Bunnie DeFord in 2016. The couple reaffirmed their commitment with a vow renewal ceremony in 2023.

Jelly Roll revealed on the Human School podcast that one of the most difficult experiences of his life was having an affair while married. He stated he’s never discussed this publicly before.

He explained that it was the moment he realized he was truly in love. He said it hit him incredibly hard, and he felt completely unable to handle it.

He shared that he put in a lot of effort to fix things with his wife, and described the process as deeply meaningful.

Jelly Roll shared with the podcast host that he and his partner are in a better place than ever before. He expressed a wish that their relationship hadn’t involved infidelity.

I definitely don’t feel good about what happened, but I’m incredibly proud of the people we’ve become. You understand what I’m saying? I really am.

The performer admitted he was around a lot of people who were being unfaithful to their spouses when he was also having an affair.

I used to spend time with people who shared my habits – when I was using cocaine, I was with others who were also using, and when I was drinking heavily, I was around people who were doing the same.

I used to think lasting friendships were impressive simply because of how many years we’d known each other. But I’ve realized some people are just awful, no matter how long you’ve been friends with them.

‘But I would just be proud to say, “That dude’s been with me 12 years.” S****y human.’

The singer said that at that point, he just wanted to be around friends who encouraged him to grow and improve as a person.

‘I wanted to be friends with people I wanted to be like,’ Jelly Roll expressed.

Although the specifics of the singer’s affair remain unclear, he and Bunnie had a short separation in 2018.

She mentioned the breakup in a TikTok video from last year, which featured cute photos of them together.

The media personality shared a video with a caption reflecting on their relationship: ‘It’s amazing to think that our 2018 breakup, my move to Vegas, and you finding your way back to me all led to this incredible life we’re sharing.’

We made a commitment to each other and fulfilled all the promises we’d made on the first night we met in 2016.

Bunnie finished by saying that their initial efforts, though temporary, were necessary for future success. She expressed her deep affection, saying ‘I love you so much.’

The couple renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas in 2023, at the same chapel where they first got married in 2016.

Bunnie and Jelly Roll first met in 2015 and became friends while Bunnie was dating someone else. After she ended that relationship, she and Jelly Roll began dating.

Last year, the performer – known as Jason Bradley DeFord – shared with Fox News Digital the secret to a lasting marriage.

The star shared that open and honest communication is key to their marriage, explaining that they address difficult topics right away. They emphasized how important this is for their relationship.

We try not to worry too much about things. Don’t dwell on the past, and laugh often – it really is the best way to feel better.

Last June, Bunnie revealed she and her husband were trying to have a baby through IVF. She shared a clip from her husband’s appearance on the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast, where he discussed their family planning.

I’ve been following Jelly Roll’s career for a while now, and it’s amazing to see how much he’s grown, both as an artist and as a person. A lot of people might not know this, but he’s already a dad! He has a daughter, Bailee, who’s seventeen, and a nine-year-old son named Noah, from previous relationships. He clearly has a big heart and family is obviously important to him.
