Bunnie Xo has opened up about how her love life with Grammy-winning musician, Jelly Roll, has changed after his dramatic weight loss journey.
The pair, who have been together since 2015, have documented their IVF journey as they are trying to conceive.
Having always been open and honest about their life struggles, Bunnie Xo recently revealed how their sex life got better when Jelly Roll went from 540 pounds, down to 265 pounds without the use of a GLP-1 treatment.
“We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through – especially when he was so big,” Bunnie Xo told Us Weekly of what she shares in her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic.

The book, which is out Tuesday, February 17, talks about the highs and lows of the couple’s life together.
Bunnie Xo explained that Jelly Roll’s ‘excitement and his new zest for life’ has been refreshing, explaining: “It’s so childlike and just giddy – just seeing him get to be the man that I always saw that he was.”
The music maker has been open about the reason why he chose not to use GLP-1s prior to his major weight loss in an interview with Men’s Health at the turn of the year.
“I just remember everyone telling me GLP-1s, or taking the Ozempic or the Mounjaro, ‘Listen, it’s gonna hurt your stomach a little bit.’”
He added: “I’ve treated my body so bad, I can’t believe God’s gave me this voice for this long. I didn’t deserve it. I literally didn’t do it out of fear.”
But now the weight is gone, he’s been able to reflect on the struggles they had.
“I was so fat that there came a moment in life that my wife and I had to put two queen beds beside each other because we couldn’t fit in a king bed anymore, I was just all over,” he said. “Now it’s a totally different thing. I’m chasing her around the house. I’m like a teenage kid again! I’m like the Pink Panther – I bust out of every corner. And she opens the cabinet and I go, ‘Hi!’”
Previously, the singer revealed he couldn’t get aroused due to his size.
Bunnie Xo said she’s also noticed him acting like a big kid, telling Us Weekly in her interview: “Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, ‘You are athletic under that meat suit.’ Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it’s brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he’s happy, I’m happy.”
