Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo Renewed Their Vows Because They Couldn't Agree on Their Anniversary Date (Exclusive)

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas — including the exact date of Jelly Roll and wife Bunnie Xo’s first wedding ceremony.

The couple, who got married in 2016, made the decision to wed "while on a bender" in Vegas in the middle of the night, but seven years later, they’re happier than ever. 

“She's my best friend, man. She truly is my favorite person to talk to. She's my first and last line of defense," says Jelly, 39. "She's my everything. There's anchors in life that kind of keep us straight, and Bunnie’s definitely mine.”

Bunnie, 43, is originally from Las Vegas and the pair first met after she attended one of his concerts at Las Vegas’ Country Saloon back in 2015. Since getting married, the pair haven't been 100% sure of their wedding date.  

“There was always a discrepancy with our anniversary, because she thought it was on one day. I thought it was on another day. Neither one of us knew," admits Jelly with a laugh.

To remedy the situation, and find a great excuse to celebrate, Jelly suggested that while they were going to be in Vegas in August, they should go back to the same little chapel and renew their vows. 

“I was like, ‘Everybody else talks about the seven-year itch. Why don't we call it the seven-year stretch?’ We'll just go in there and double down,” he says. 

The happy couple did just that — and set a new date in the process. 

“It is officially — I think — September 1st. And September 1st felt right, because we thought it was between the 30th and 31st, so I said, ‘Well, now we can just both be wrong and just set it on the first.’ Even money that way," he says.

With seven years down and forever to go, the couple also co-parent Jelly’s daughter Bailee, 15, and his son Noah, 7, both from Jelly's prior relationships.

The "Son of a Sinner" singer says watching his family grow together as a unit has been “really cool.”

“Bunny didn't have children, [but] she has such a maternal instinct. I call her mama bear, because that's just who she is to all of us," says Jelly. "To watch her come in, and to watch her and Bailee's relationship develop, has been the highlight of my life.”

Jelly has consistently praised his wife for her role in helping him raise his family.

“It takes a special kind of woman to raise a child that isn’t hers," Jelly Roll shared on Instagram on May. "When Bunnie and I was first starting to talk, I knew I was about to get full custody of Bailee and also had another woman pregnant. Most women would’ve ran for the hill, but not Bunnie. She told me no matter what happened between us she wanted to help me get custody Bailee."

He continued: “7 years later Bailee calls Bunnie Momma with no hesitation, and 7 years later Bunnie still blows my mind everyday with how loving and patient she is with Bailee. Happy Mothers Day Mama Bear. You deserve to be celebrated on this day more than anyone I’ve ever known. I love you so much!” he added.
