Jelly Roll And Wife Bunnie Renew Their Wedding Vows

Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie have renewed their wedding vows in the same Las Vegas chapel they were married in seven years ago. Jelly posted a video montage of the moment on TikTok.

Bruno Mars's song "Marry You" was played in the background of the video. He wrote over the of his wife Bunnie in a beautiful white wedding dress, "7 years ago we stumbled into this little chapel in Vegas blackout drunk. My only regret was never seeing her in a dress." The clip shows the happy couple kissing and Jelly wearing a red velvet jacket and a black shirt. One shot shows friends clapping and cheering the couple on as they again say, "I do."

Jelly captioned the post on TikTok, "We renewed our vows tonight in Vegas."

Not long ago, Jelly chatted with Taste of Country and talked about the fact that many people think of his wife as a "gold digger," and that amuses him because he explained that when he first met her, he was the one who was homeless and living out of a van. He said in part, "If anyone was digging for gold, it was I."

He added that she "hates" that people think she was after him for his money; it just "flames her up."

Jelly Roll continues his headlining "Backroad Baptism Tour," he's been losing some weightt. His nutritionist told fans on a recent Instagram video clip that Jelly has already lost weight since the tour began.

In a video clip on his Instagram, his nutritionist tells the camera, "Another successful day for Jelly, just past the two-week mark, so far this year, he's lost 23 pounds." Jelly captioned the video clip collage, "Mama bear did her first meet and greet - Weight loss update and songwriting in St Louis - for the 15th sold out show in a row on the Backroad Baptism tour — show 15/44 - let's goooooo."

Several fans responded to his post, with one writing, "You're doing amazing work. God has big plans for you to spread the word. Love ya." Another said, "Congrats on this tour and on your new healthy lifestyle." One more fan commented, "This is awesome. You are truly a beautiful person who is touching the lives & and souls of many."

Jelly Roll won three awards at this year's (4/2) CMT Music Awards. The one-time rapper recently scored his first country music chart-topper "Son of A Sinner." Born and raised in Antoich (right outside of Nashville), Jelly Roll has won the hearts of his fellow country stars and the heart of country music fans worldwide.

He made his first on the CMT Music Awards performance, joined by a full gospel choir, with his song "Need A Favor." That was followed by an enthusiastic standing ovation by the whole house.

Jelly Roll's awards came before his new album, Whitsitt Chapel, was released on June 2. Titled after the church the Antioch native grew up attending, the debut full-length Country project on BMG/Stoney Creek Records features 13 tracks.

Before his current time in country music, Jelly was known as a Southern Hip Hop artist. Beginning in 2010, he collaborated with Lil Wyte, Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf, Tech N9ne, and Ryan Upchurch. His 2010 collaboration "Pop Another Pill" with Memphis rapper Lil Wyte reached over 6.3 million YouTube views and started his career.

A record label executive in Nashville told me they were looking for the Post Malone of country music and found that in Jelly. His real name is Jason DeFord, and his Jelly Roll nickname comes from his mother, who called him Jelly Roll when he was a young, as he said, a "chubby" kid.

As Jelly's star continues to rise, we take a look at his last few years in the national spotlight.
