00:00Getting an OnlyFans after tying the knot, keeping things open,
00:04and from proposal to marriage in one night, Jelly Roll and Bunny XO have risen to fame together,
00:09giving fans plenty of chances to see how unusual their marriage really is.
00:14There's nothing wrong with having an OnlyFans account if everything is above board and
00:18consensual. However, we can't imagine many married people would be thrilled to know
00:22their partner is starting a gig on the adult entertainment website a few years into their
00:26marriage. Not Bunny XO and Jelly Roll, though. Bunny XO became an OnlyFans regular in 2020,
00:32four years after the couple tied the knot. She continued to offer content for three years before
00:37eventually closing her account. She explained why she stopped in a March 2024 Facebook post
00:42addressing confusion about why she was on the site while married, writing,
00:46"'A lot of people seem to be confused as to how I just retired from sex work last
00:50year because I've been married for seven years. I have always worked and made money on my own.
00:54When I married Jelly Roll, I refused to give up my independence and rely solely on him."
00:59Bunny XO noted her hubby never suggested she stop, but she had a change of heart, joking,
01:04"'I also didn't want to be the only wife in the country music scene whose butthole
01:07was on the internet.'" In the same post, Bunny XO shared that she entertained
01:11Sugar Daddy's pre-OnlyFans, even doing it when she first met her now-husband.
01:16But Jelly Roll has always maintained that he was okay with her escort work.
01:20You know, if it's that high end, I'm cool with whatever."
01:23Jelly Roll and Bunny XO bucked the trend of married couples starting on the path
01:27of absolute commitment to each other on their wedding day. The latter opened up
01:31about what the first years of their marriage were really like in a March 2024 TikTok,
01:35revealing that they'd split in 2018, two years after their wedding,
01:39and suggested they didn't take their vow seriously. As she wrote in the text for the video,
01:43"'We finally committed to each other and did everything we promised each other the first
01:47night in 2016. Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground.'"
01:53Bunny XO wasn't explicit about what happened early in their marriage in that post,
01:57but it's known that Jelly Roll cheated on his wife around that time. Bunny XO recalled
02:01finding out about her husband's year-long infidelity with an ex-girlfriend in early 2018
02:06on Wife of the Party, and while she didn't excuse his behavior,
02:09she did offer up her thought process on the matter.
02:12"'You try to put him in a cage and, like, teach him how to be domesticated,
02:15he's gonna buck a couple times, you know, and same with me.'"
02:18In a since-deleted TikTok video, Bunny XO explained her relationship with Jelly Roll, saying,
02:23"'We don't have a label. We have an understanding,
02:25a partnership. We have a love that is free of trying to control the other person.
02:30I don't understand how that takes away from how many years of work, dedication,
02:34loyalty, trust, and bulls---- that we've been through. It doesn't.'"
02:37The couple also spoke about their turn away from monogamy in an April 2020 episode of Bunny XO's
02:42podcast, Dumb Blonde.
02:44"'There's not really any rules. I mean, it's just whatever we're down with,
02:47whatever he's in the mood for.'"
02:49Jelly Roll also spoke about their open dynamic during the episode, explaining,
02:53"'We're not in a monarchy. This is a democracy here.'"
02:56Bunny XO then shed more light on their marriage situation, clarifying,
03:00"'We allow each other to be who we want to be. If I want to sleep with another guy,
03:03I can go sleep with another guy. Like, that's not a problem.'"
03:07One thing she's not down with, though? Another man in the bedroom with them,
03:10despite her being very open to experiences with her husband and another woman.
03:15It's not weird for couples to have pet names for each other, that's normal. But to never say each
03:20other's first names or stage names, like, ever? Now that's odd. In a January 2024 TikTok posted
03:26by Bunny XO, she was behind the camera and asked her husband if they ever called each
03:30other by their legal names.
03:32"'Daddy?''
03:32"'Hello?''
03:33"'Do you ever call me Alyssa?''
03:35"'No.''
03:36"'Do I ever call you Jason?''
03:37''No.''
03:38"'It's weird, right?''
03:39"'Weird.'"
03:40In case you didn't know, Jelly Roll's given name is Jason Bradley DeFord,
03:43and Bunny XO is legally called Alyssa DeFord. So what do these two call each other?
03:48Not even Bunny XO and Jelly Roll, it turns out. In the caption, she shared he calls her either
03:53Mama or Mama Bear, and she only refers to him by the nicknames of Papa Bear, Daddy Roll, or Jay,
03:59his first initial. Fans clearly loved the cute yet weird peek behind closed doors,
04:04with one fan joking,
04:05"'He looked so offended by the government names.'"
04:08A lot of couples getting married might have a drink or two to calm their nerves pre-ceremony,
04:12but Jelly Roll and Bunny XO did more than that. In 2022, Jelly Roll shared a sweet Instagram post
04:17to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and wrote in the caption, in all caps,
04:21"'Six years ago today we stumbled into courthouse drunk and got married.'"
04:25But that wasn't the only odd thing about how these two wed. Not only were they inebriated,
04:30but the entire thing was on the fly right after he proposed in Las Vegas.
04:34I'm like, f— it, let's just go now. She's like, the courthouse is open for 35,
04:3844 more minutes. I'm like, f— it, let's roll. We wouldn't get married."
04:42That came after the two had known each other for only a month. In fact,
04:45Bunny XO even described their pre-marriage relationship on Wife of the Party as a, quote,
04:5030-day romance. But Bunny XO has since left alcohol behind and celebrates her sobriety.
04:55The podcast host has been open about her journey and wrote a candid message on Facebook in 2023,
05:01sharing,
05:01"'My spiritual journey has taken me down this road of sobriety and self-discovery.
05:05It's been a brutal ride, but I have fought hard to get to where I am and be who I am.'"
