Bunnie DeFord and Jelly Roll’s Relationship
Bunnie DeFord met Jelly Roll while working as a high-end escort in Vegas. He once said about their meeting:
“When I met her, I was like living out of a ’96 van and doing $100 a night shows…I was dead broke, and she just kind of took to me. And she was really making money in the sex work industry. Like, real money. I didn’t know that existed. This was, I mean…15, 20…real money. If she ever writes a book… we’re talking about CEOs of oil companies. People you know.”
Jelly Roll has admitted not knowing the exact nature of his wife’s work, but he also didn’t have a problem with it. He said, “I didn’t understand the concept. I’m just a f*ckin’ old southern crack dealer… But I didn’t have a problem with it. If it’s that high-end, I’m cool with whatever.”
Bunnie is six years older than Jelly Roll. Bunnie is 43 years old, and Jelly Roll is 37 years old. This has drawn criticism to their relationship, but they don’t care; the couple lets it roll off their backs.
In a truly unforgettable moment, Jelly Roll proposed to Bunnie while on stage during a Yelawolf/Deftones concert in Las Vegas, Nevada, Bunnie’s hometown. Overwhelmed with joy, she accepted his proposal and spontaneously decided to head straight to the courthouse. That night, they exchanged vows and officially became married, creating a cherished memory to treasure forever.
“A hooker and a convict held hands one night in the desert and decided to change our lives together and go all in our dreams,” he captioned an Instagram photo of them.
Bunnie helped Jelly Roll get custody of his daughter Bailee Ann, and they have raised her together since 2016. Jelly Roll appreciates her love for him and his daughter, saying, “It just takes a real selfless person to help raise a child they didn’t birth.”
