3S. Jelly Roll’s wife Bunnie XO says the “coolest part” of his weight-loss journey wasn’t the dropped pounds—it was watching him fall in love with himself again.
Jelly Roll Says Sex With Bunnie Xo Before His Weight Loss Was Like “Playing Twister”

Jelly Roll is more than OK after his 200-pound weight loss, according to his wife Bunnie Xo.
In fact, the Dumb Blonde podcast host is digging the “I Am Not Okay” singer’s new clean-shaven look, which he recently debuted to mark the latest milestone in his fitness journey.

“My husband just shaved his face for the first time in 20 years,” Bunnie told Extra in an interview published Jan. 7. “The coolest part of my husband shaving his face was getting to see him look in the mirror at himself and watching my husband fall in love with himself.”
She continued, “Because battling weight and being called names every day, just living with that burden of the weight on him, that takes a toll on somebody’s self-esteem.”
Now, Bunnie, 45, said her husband of nine years is “getting comments like, ‘You look so hot’ or ‘you look so healthy’ or ‘I’m so proud of you.'”

“That just lifts his spirit so much,” she added. “So, being able to see him look in that mirror and be like, ‘Yeah I’m hot,’ was cool. I’m proud of him.”
And for Jelly Roll, slimming down has also improved his sex life with Bunnie.
“I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you’re crying,” the 41-year-old shared on the Dec. 10 episode of Joe Rogan Experience. “And I couldn’t even get aroused I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex—left foot here, right foot in the X. ‘Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.’ It was bad.”

As for what motivated him to drop the pounds?
“I could feel myself dying,” the country music star admitted, explaining how he had experienced “multiple heart issues” by his 39th birthday. “I was like, ‘Man, I should really start trying to figure this out.'”
