Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, has found his perfect match in Bunnie XO, also known as Bunnie DeFord. Their love story began in Las Vegas, where they met at one of Jelly Roll’s shows in 2015. Despite Jelly Roll’s challenging past, including two stints in jail, he stepped into a beautiful future with Bunnie, who also embraced two of his children from previous relationships.
Their marriage in August 2016 marked the start of a loving partnership that has seen both of their careers flourish—Bunnie launching her“Dumb Blonde”podcast while Jelly Roll made waves in country music starting in 2020. Recently, during a heartfelt CMA Award acceptance speech, he showered Bunnie with praise, crediting her for transforming his life and supporting their family through thick and thin. With such inspiring resilience, their journey proves that love can overcome life’s challenges.
If Jelly Roll and Bunnie’s story doesn’t make you believe in the power of love, what will? They remind us all that sometimes, the road to happiness can be paved with hiccups, but with the right person by your side, anything is possible.
