When country star Jelly Roll first met the woman who would become his wife at a concert in Las Vegas in 2015, he was living out of his van and had been in and out of jail a whopping 40 times.
As for Bunnie XO – the focus of his affections whose real name is Alisa DeFord – she was making upwards of $100,000 a night as a 'high class' escort in Sin City.
Flash forward some ten years, and the musician – real name Jason DeFord – has risen the ranks to become one of the world's biggest country stars with three Grammy Awards to show for it.
Bunnie, meanwhile, officially retired from sex work in 2023 and has morphed into a devoted stepmother to her husband's two children from previous relationships – Bailee Ann, now 18, and son Noah Buddy, nine.
And from their shared experiences of various drug addictions to Jelly Roll's admitted months-long affair, it seemed to many that the couple were able to overcome just about anything.
