Jelly Roll reveals the secret to her strong marriage to Bunny XO
Country music singer Jelly Roll isn’t afraid to tackle the “uncomfortable things” in his marriage head-on in order to keep his marriage to TikTok star Bunny XO strong, the “Son of a Sinner” musician told Fox News Digital.
Jelly Roll knows that music can bring people from all walks of life together, and he proved that on Saturday night.
The country artist, who has overcome a difficult past, headlined a concert live from Stephen Talkhouse in the Hamptons on Saturday night, before a few hundred lucky guests on behalf of Sirius XM. Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley Deford) mingled with the stars who gathered to see his show, including Howard Stern, Bradley Cooper, Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon.
Jelly Roll had plenty of time to write songs in prison before making it big in country music.

The “Son of a Sinner” singer was introduced on stage by SmartLess hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, who sat down with Howard Stern to record a live podcast before the show.
“I never thought my fat white poor pussy would be in the Hamptons,” Jelly Roll told the crowd. Page 6. “This is an incredible sight.”

During the show, Jelly Roll caught a glimpse of Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Stern, in the audience and gave them a special shout-out.
He said appearing on Stern’s show was “one of the best things that’s ever happened to me in my life. I got to check something off my bucket list. It was amazing!”
Jelly Roll said, “Like everyone my age, I [Stern’s 1997 biopic] “I’ve listened to ‘Private Parts’ like 1000 times. I think he’s the best ever. … I love you and always appreciate your time and energy.”
The “Wild Ones” singer appeared on Stern’s talk show in June, where he talked about his prison history, selling drugs and cried while reminiscing about a Bette Midler song his mother asked to be played at his funeral.

“I love this story, by the way,” Stern told Jelly Roll magazine. “The song ‘Save Me’ was inspired by ‘The Rose’ by Bette Midler, because that’s a song that you and your mom listened to all the time.”

Stern asked Jelly Roll if he had ever met Midler, to which he replied, “Oh no. If I met her or James Taylor, I would cry on the spot.”
“‘The Rose’ is a beautiful song,” Stern said.

“My mother used to play this a lot. You have to remember she was a really dark woman back then. She would say, ‘Play this at my funeral,'” Jelly Roll recalls. “She would sit at the kitchen table… It still gets me emotional when I hear it. She’d smoke a cigarette and she’d say, ‘Play this when I die.'”

He added: “So the first tattoo I ever got was a rose with her name on it on my back.”
“How could a mother say to her son, ‘Play this at my funeral?'” Howard wondered.
“These are words from a woman who thought she couldn’t live, and I know what that feels like,” Jelly Roll said. “I know what it feels like to think you can’t live.”
