  • She's Been Married to Jelly Roll Since 2016

    The couple first met back in 2015, where Bunnie watched Jelly Roll perform at Sin City’s Country Saloon in Las Vegas.

    “We hit it off. She said shefell in lovewith the saddest eyes in the room,” the country star said during a Taste of Country Nights interview back in 2022, adding that she was in an abusive relationship at the time, but thankfully split from her ex soon after. “I’m not going to act like I shot my shot. She kind of shot hers. We had mutual friends. She said, ‘Yo. Just plug me in with Jelly.’ And I hit her on some other s–t. I was like, ‘Yo. I’m going to be coming out to shoot some content and video stuff. She was like, ‘Yeah! C’mon!’ I was like, ‘Cool, well I’m living in my van, so I’ll leave now.’”

    The duo tied the knot a year later, in August 2016.

  • She's a Successful Podcast Host

    Bunnie’s Dumb Blonde Podcast, despite it’s name, includes smart, wide-ranging conversations with guests (and sometimes polarizing figures) about life lessons, the sex worker industry, being an influencer and so much more.

    In the podcast description, Bunnie hilariously refers to herself as “the degenerate love child of Dolly Parton & Dr. Ruth,” which very much captures the themes of Dumb Blonde. You can listen to her episodes here.

  • She's a YouTuber

    Before her Dumb Blonde Podcast, Bunnie was entertaining fans over on YouTube, where she has more than 200,000 subscribers. Besides posting her podcast episodes there, she has also uploaded fun vlogs, challenges and more.

  • She Loves Jelly Roll's Daughter

    Jelly Roll’s shares 14-year-old daughter Bailee Ann with his ex Felicia, though the “Need a Favor” star was incarcerated when she was born. He has since regained custody of Bailee Ann in 2016, and he has often thanked Bunnie for helping him re-establish his relationship with his daughter.

    “It takes a special kind of woman to raise a kid that isn’t her child and still treat the child as if she was. Over the years watching her relationship with Bailee blossom into this beautiful mother-daughter bond that it has become has been nothing short of magical,” he captioned a sweet 2020Facebook photo of Bailee and Bunnie. “I have truly been blessed with the best partner I could’ve asked for in life. You are theepitome of a good momand deserve more credit than anyone because you didn’t have to step up to the plate the way you did. You chose to step up and man you have knocked it out of the park. Thank you Mama Bear – we love you.”

  • She Has the Cutest Dog

    Bunnie often shares adorable photos of her bulldog Chachi on Instagram, even noting in one of her posts that he provides “emotional support” for her as she’s seen giving him a smooch.

  • You Can Meet Her on Tour

    During Jelly’s recent 2023 Backroad Baptism Tour, Bunnie hosted meet and greets alongside Jelly Roll and their entire crew. Bunnie first teased the meet and greet package in aTikTok videoin June, where she said that she had seen fans wondering where she was at her hubby’s shows. “So, every night that J has a concert, I get a lot of you tagging me upset that I’m not there. Just want you guys to know that your girl is preserving her energy for the next four months.”

  • She's Shut Down Her OnlyFans

    The entertainer announced on March 6, 2023, that she had shut down her OnlyFans account. A year later, she marked the first anniversary with a Facebook post, which confused followers wondering why she gave it up a year ago when she’s been married for seven. In a separate post, Bunnie explained that she’s never taken her husband’s money for any of her ventures and was proud to make her own money. What’s more, her brand — which she launched in 2018 — was doing so well that she no longer wanted to do OF.

    But that’s not the only reason. As Bunnie shared with a laughing emoji: “I also didn’t want to be the only wife in the country music scene whose butthole was on the internet.”
