The story of how Jelly Rolly & Bunnie Xo met
Bunny Xo and Jelly Rolllove story began in Las Vegas.
As she reminded herself Bussin’ With The Boysshe met the singer in August 2015 while performing at the Las Vegas Country Saloon. This was before the Jelly Roll became famous. At the time, he was living in a van and he estimated that about 20 people were at the show.
Instead, their spark took center stage.
“When I met him, I tell everybody it’s the most goddamn cliché, but literally my soul was like, ‘There you are,'” Bunnie said on the 2023 podcast. “And he’s not my type. I’m not his type. He loves Taylor Swift. That’s his type.”
Still, a romance didn’t form right away. Bunnie was in an unhealthy relationship, she continued, and Jelly Roll was doing her own thing. But in October 2015, they reconnected. And as Bunnie put it, she was “just smitten.”
After her ex went to jail, she added, she told a friend to give Jelly Roll her phone number. Bunnie said the musician would call and text her for advice about her daughter Depositary from a previous relationship.
However, Bunnie noted that her bond with Jelly Roll changed from platonic to romantic in July 2016 when he returned to Vegas to film some videos and they slept together.
“We’re like s–t-faced drunk,” she recalled. “I’m trying to get it up, get it in, get it on and get it out, and this guy said, ‘What’s your five-year plan?’
So they discussed their goals and Bunnie remembered Jelly Roll saying, “OK, cool. Let’s do it.”
