Jelly Roll’s Wife Was A “High-End Escort” When They Met
In July 2022, Jelly Roll was interviewed by Bert Kreischer when he appeared on the Bertcast. During the resulting conversation, Jelly Roll was extremely open about what his wife Alyssa “Bunnie Xo” DeFord was doing when they first met.
During Jelly Roll and Kreischer’s conversation, the country singer didn’t hold back at all while telling the host about his wife’s former job. “I don’t know if you know this part of the story, but my wife was like a super high-end escort when I met her.”.
Jelly Roll then went on to tell Kreischer about how successful his wife was in her former life. According to Jelly Roll’s description, Bunnie Xo was making a staggering amount of money in her old life.
“She was, you know, really making money in the s*x work industry. Like real money. Like, I couldn’t, I didn’t know that existed… I mean dude, 15, 20. I mean real money. It was like insane.”
Jelly Roll would go on to explain to Kreischer that he was fine with Bunnie Xo continuing to work in that industry during their relationship. “If it’s that high-end, I’m cool with whatever.” Bunnie Xo eventually left her old career after finding new opportunities for herself.
During Jelly Roll’s interview with Kreischer, he revealed another way that Bunnie Xo’s life was different when they met.
Since Jelly Roll and Kreischer seemed to get along, the host commented that he wanted them to get together with their wives. However, Kreischer then asked Jelly Roll if his wife parties, and the country singer gave a revealing answer.
“She’ll party a little bit. Not like she used to though. So, she got sober, soberish, a couple years ago. I’m still f**king go for the gusto but the difference between me and her was she was wild.”
As Jelly Roll went on to explain, he believes that Bunnie Xo slowed down her partying because of her relationship with him. More specifically, Bunnie Xo prioritized being a good mother after they got custody of his eldest child.
“You know what really happened? She probably wouldn’t want me to say this, but she got into Mama Bear mode kinda. Bunnie didn’t have kids and then we got custody of Bailee, it was like something clicked with her. Was like, ‘Oh my god. We’re completely responsible for this child… It was like, Bunnie just went into like f**king, ‘Oh woah, figure this out.’”
Earlier during the same interview, Jelly Roll explained something else. According to Jelly Roll, Bunnie Xo is the one who completely changed his life.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jelly Roll had a $4 million fortune as of March 2024. However, as Jelly Roll explained to Kreischer, he was a broke and homeless aspiring musician when he met Bunnie Xo. Since Bunnie Xo believed in him, she used the money she made to bankroll his music career early on and she even gave him somewhere to live.

“When I met her, I was like living out of a ’96 van and I was doing like $100 a night shows.”
Jelly Roll later continued, “She helped me put out, she helped finance “Addiction Kills”. She helped hire a lawyer to get custody my daughter. She got me a place. I didn’t have a place. I was homeless. I was living in the van because I wasn’t home enough… She just bet the farm on me.”
Jelly Roll’s Wife Was Scared To Give Up Her Old Career
In March 2024, Alyssa “Bunnie Xo” DeFord shared on Facebook about a momentous anniversary for her. As Bunnie Xo explained, it had been a year since she gave up her OnlyFans account which was the last remnant of the career she had when she met Jelly Roll.
Bunnie Xo went on to explain how scared she was to give up her OnlyFans account when she did.
“Awww a year ago I retired from the SW industry. I was SO scared to let go of that part of my life & leave behind the money I was making — wasn’t sure how I’d make up that part of my business. But I had faith & let God have it & he made sure I made it back 10 fold 😭.”
Since Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll got married in 2016, some fans were confused she only gave up her old career in 2023. In her post explaining that she was referring to giving up her OnlyFans account, Bunnie Xo gave a fascinating insight into her marriage.
Bunnie Xo’s post explained two things that are important for fans of Jelly Roll to note. First off, Bunnie Xo made it clear that Jelly Roll never asked her to give up her old career. Secondly, Bunnie Xo revealed that Jelly Roll’s success had nothing to do with her ability to give up her old career. Instead, it was Bunnie Xo’s own success and will that allowed her to move on.
“I have always worked & made money on my own, when I married J I refused to give up my independence & rely solely on him. And to be honest he never once asked me to. He knew how important it was to me to make my own money. But he did always say, ‘One day baby you won’t have to do this anymore.’”
Bunnie Xo continued, “Fast forward to 2018 I started my own brand Bunnie Xo & funded it w/ the money I made in SW. I literally built my entire brand from the ground up without help from anyone- not even my husband.”
