Bunnie Xo Opens Up About Her Marriage with Jelly Roll

Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, isn't holding back when it comes to her marriage with country music sensation Jelly Roll. The couple, who tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023, have had quite a journey together. Known for her bold personality, Bunnie recently shared intimate details about their relationship's early days and her past career choices.

Reflecting on her past as a sex worker, Bunnie candidly discussed her experiences, including escorting and maintaining an OnlyFans page. It's no secret that she was the primary breadwinner before Jelly Roll's music career took off. "I was SO scared to let go of that part of my life & leave behind the money I was making," she once wrote on Facebook, underlining her apprehension about leaving the escorting world behind.

Setting the Record Straight on Relationship Rumors

In a chat with Extra on February 16, Bunnie addressed persistent rumors about the nature of her marriage. Despite speculation, she emphasized that their relationship is "free, but not open" – firmly closed, in fact. Bunnie explained how her and Jelly Roll's upbringing affected their views on love, admitting, "We were not taught how to love properly."

Their marriage's early days allowed some flexibility when Jelly Roll was on tour. "If you're out on the road and you meet somebody, just tell me about it," Bunnie explained, clarifying that they weren't "swingers" but more fluid. However, the couple's bond has since evolved into a more traditional, closed relationship.

“He knew how important it was to me to make my own money,” Bunnie shared, reflecting on her husband's support back in 2024.

From Open to Closed: A Journey of Growth

Bunnie and Jelly Roll's relationship has thrived on mutual respect and understanding. Bunnie affirmed that Jelly Roll never tried to change her, loving her for who she was, which ultimately inspired her to evolve. "The way that he loved me made me want to change for him," she revealed.

Now, as they navigate their lives together, Jelly Roll credits his family as his anchor. As he told PEOPLE magazine, "I prioritize family and that’s what anchors me down. My world shrank when I focused on one woman.” Their journey from an initially open setup to a solid, closed marriage is a testament to their enduring bond and growth together.
