Bunnie Xo isn’t staying silent after her husband, Jelly Roll, admitted to cheating during their marriage.
Just one day after the country star’s emotional confession on a podcast, the “Dumb Blonde” host took to Instagram to share how she feels about facing pain and rebuilding love.
Her response comes as fans continue to react to Roll’s candid revelation about one of the hardest moments of his life.
Bunnie Xo Responds To Critic After Jelly Roll’s Shocking Revelation
After Roll publicly confessed to having an affair years ago, Bunnie Xo quickly became the focus of online comments.
When one critic suggested she should “hop away” from the singer, she calmly pushed back.
“It actually takes a stronger woman to face pain head-on, do the work, and rebuild with the man she loves — instead of running or gossiping,” she wrote in a screenshot shared to her Instagram Story on October 22. “Growth isn’t weakness, it’s grace.”
Bunnie Xo didn’t hold back as she continued, “But not everyone’s built for that kind of strength. I pray you never have to feel that pain bc you’re judging another woman’s life.”
Roll Opens Up About His Affair On Podcast
As The Blast reported, a day before Bunnie Xo’s post, Jelly Roll opened up about his past mistake on the “Human School” podcast.
The “Bloodline” singer revealed that one of the worst moments of his adult life was cheating on his wife, calling it a painful turning point in their marriage.
“I don’t talk about this publicly at all,” he admitted. “But one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife.”
He went on to explain how the experience changed him. “It was the first time that I was like, ‘I really can’t get this right at all. I know I’m in love with this woman.’ It was just such a — just really, really, really blew me back.”
Roll said he put in years of effort to repair the relationship.
Calling the repair “special,” he noted that he and Bunnie Xo were stronger than they could ever be.
Jelly Roll Says His Past Crowd Influenced His Actions
During the same podcast, Roll reflected on what led him to make the wrong choices.
The rapper said much of his behavior at the time came from the people he surrounded himself with.
He revealed that he would hang out with people who were cheating on their wives.
“When I was doing cocaine, I was hanging around a bunch of people that were doing cocaine. When I was drinking a lot, I was hanging around a lot of people that were drinking a lot,” Roll continued.
The Grammy-nominated artist admitted that he used to value long friendships even when they weren’t healthy.
“I used to be proud of long-standing friendships just because they had a number attached to ’em,” he said. “Horrible humans. But I would just be proud to say, ‘That dude’s been with me 12 years.’”
Today, Roll and Bunnie Xo focus on surrounding themselves with better influences.
He noted that nowadays, he hangs out with people he wants to be like, and that his life looks very different.
Bunnie Xo Reflects On Their Past Split And Healing
While Bunnie hasn’t often spoken about Jelly Roll’s affair, she has hinted at their struggles in the past.
In a 2024 TikTok video, she recalled their brief separation six years ago and how they found their way back to each other.
“Who knew that us breaking up in 2018, me moving back to Vegas & you coming to get me back — would have put us on this wild journey called life,” she wrote. “We finally committed to each other & did everything we promised each other the first night in 2016.”
In the same post, she added, “Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground. I yuh you so mushhh.”
Jelly Roll And Bunnie Xo’s Love Story Over The Years
Roll and Bunnie Xo’s relationship began long before fame.
Their love story started in 2015 when they met backstage at one of his shows in Las Vegas.
At the time, Roll was still finding his way in music, while Bunnie was already building her own career.
Their connection was instant, and a year later, they surprised everyone by getting married in a quick courthouse ceremony in Vegas. However, their journey wasn’t perfect.
In 2018, they briefly split before the 40-year-old won her back, proving their love wasn’t just for show.
Since then, they’ve grown stronger together, even renewing their vows in 2023 at the same chapel where they first said “I do.”
Bunnie Xo also became a loving stepmom to Jelly Roll’s two kids, and today, they share a bond built on forgiveness, growth, and deep commitment that has carried them through every storm.
