In a recent podcast interview, country music star Jelly Roll, 40, reflects on one of the most painful chapters in his adult life – cheating on his wife, Bunnie XO. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, admits that the affair was "the worst moment" of his adulthood, as he truly loved his wife but struggled to get their relationship right.
After the infidelity, Jelly Roll confesses that he put in "a lot of work to repair" their connection. As a result, the couple, who exchanged vows at the Stained Glass Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in August 2016, are now "stronger than we could have ever been." Jelly Roll acknowledges that he wishes their story had never included the affair, but he is "proud of who we are today."
The singer reveals that at the time, he was "hanging around a bunch of people that were cheating on their wives" and using cocaine, which influenced his decisions. Jelly Roll clarifies that he used to value long-standing friendships, even with "horrible humans," but has since become more intentional about the company he keeps, wanting to surround himself with people who inspire him to be the best version of himself.
