‘We want people to know that they’re loved’: Bunnie Xo speaks on her and husband Jelly Roll’s goal
Bunnie Xo's life-long goal is to ensure people "know that they're loved".
Bunnie Xo's life-long mission is to ensure “people known that they are loved”.
The 45-year-old star has been by her husband Jelly Roll’s, 41, side long before they wed in 2016, and Bunnie has now reflected on her determination to “give back to everybody”.
Speaking with Extra, Bunnie - whose real name is Alisa DeFord - said: “I’m so thankful that God has blessed me in a way that I can give back to everybody and that I can give back to all walks of life. There’s never any judgment on my end or my husband’s end.
“We just want people to know that they’re loved, and whatever we can do to help and bring smiles to anybody’s faces is exactly what we’re going to do.”
Bunnie - who is the stepmother of Jelly’s daughter Bailee Ann, 17, and son Noah, nine - has been with the Wilds Ones hitmaker through thick and thin, including his weight loss journey.
Jelly recently admitted his sex life was “horrible” before he shed nearly 200lbs.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “[Before I lost weight, my] sex life with my wife [Bunnie Xo] was horrible.
“Dude, I married a f****** big t**** blonde beautiful woman, dog. You know what I mean? I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you're crying, Joe.
“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, you know? Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.’
“I mean, it was bad.”
Jelly - whose real name is Jason DeFord - was also “too big” to throw a football with his son, and realised how much his weight, like his drug addiction, was having an impact on his family.
He explained: “I think about my son. My brother would have to go throw football with him. I was too big to throw the football. I was like, ‘That's what my addiction has done to these people.’
“I realised that in addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict. It's nature.
“Like if somebody in your family was a drug addict, you would help with their kids, you would feel a need to help in their absence — it’s what we do as a family, it’s human nature.
“I realiesd then how much my addiction was hurting this family.”
