and renewed their wedding vows in 2023 after rebuilding a marriage that had already been tested by infidelity and a split in 2018. In recent interviews, Bunnie Xo has said she stayed beside him while they tried to work out what had gone wrong, and Jelly Roll has said the relationship became stronger because he put in the work to repair it.

The renewed interest in their marriage comes from those later reflections, not from a fresh breakup or scandal. Jelly Roll has been married to Bunnie Xo since 2016, but the pair decided to rekindle their relationship in 2018 after his affair, setting up years of effort before the vow renewal. That arc is why readers are looking now: it is one of the few public examples of a couple naming the damage, then showing what repair looked like over time.

Jelly Roll laid out his view of that repair in a 2020 Instagram post, saying the secret was being comfortable with uncomfortable conversations, putting communication first, laughing at the small stuff and not taking life too seriously. Bunnie Xo later echoed that same idea in February 2026, telling in an interview that the first three years were rough because both of them had healing to do, separately and together, before they could have a good relationship.

But the story does not read like a neat redemption arc. Bunnie Xo has also been blunt that her husband does not say things he does not mean, even if she wanted to do things her own way, and Jelly Roll has said he did a lot of work to repair the relationship. In October 2025, he said they were stronger than they could have ever been, yet he also said he was not glad the affair happened, even if he was proud of who they had become.

That gap matters because the public milestones are clear, but the repair itself is harder to pin down. Bunnie Xo wrote in September 2023 that they fought to become the people they are and to learn to love in a healthy way, a line that fits the vow renewal but still leaves the middle unexplained. She had also shut down her in 2022 because had become successful, a sign that her life was changing on more than one front while the marriage was being rebuilt.

The broader picture is that Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll have presented their relationship as something they chose to save, not something that simply healed on its own. She has said she stood beside him instead of pointing a finger, and that she helped raise his children, especially . The unanswered question is not whether they stayed together; it is how much of that repair was conversation, how much was time, and how much was simply deciding to keep going after the damage had already been done.
