Jelly Roll’s Wife Shares Dark Experience With Weight Loss Drug

Jelly Roll‘s wife, Bunnie Xo, gets candid about her reality with her medicated weight loss journey.

The podcaster revealed the emotional downside she faced as she worked on her physical being. Talking about a phase she does not wish to relive, she acknowledged that many others might be silently going through similar experiences, offering encouragement.

Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, has often shared her personal experiences on a wide range of topics with the public as a medium to build a connection with her fans. From events surrounding her childhood,  adulthood, faith, health, and marriage, she leaves no stone unturned.

Bunnie Xo shared her recent ordeal with the popular weight loss drug, GLP-1, noting that the aftereffects were not pleasant.  She revealed that in December last year, it got so bad that she went through a bout of suicidal ideation while using the medication.

Before getting on the diabetic medication, she priced herself in the fact that she never dealt with depression despite her difficult life phases. She admitted that she had only battled with anxiety, so having depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts was a new wave for her.

“That was one of the darkest times of my life, and it was scary,” the podcaster exclusively told PEOPLE. “So when you get slammed with suicidal ideation and visions and just, oh, it was horrific.” Bunnie Xo did not waste time elaborating on the difference between the feelings of anxiety and depression.  

She said, “You want to have anxiety because you want to be scared to die. You don’t want to have depression because you literally don’t care if you want to die. So yeah, it was really dark.” Speaking further, she explained that having suicidal ideation was really bad, as she had not experienced any since 2020.

Still in her interview, the media personality noted that her emotional health had improved compared to where she was at last December.  Bunnie Xo then revealed that her parents had diabetes, so she thought GLP-1 would improve her health.

“Both my parents had diabetes. So my insulin numbers are really crazy, and my body just cannot tolerate it,” she revealed before adding that she wished she were skinny and did not have to worry about weight gain.

Concluding her statement, the podcaster had a message to everyone going through a similar ordeal. She shared that, as much as the thought that they were going through it alone loomed, they should remember that everyone faces hard times.

The wife of the country singer stressed that people facing similar challenges should not give in to suicidal thoughts, as suicide is a permanent decision for a temporary emotion. 

While Bunnie Xo’s trials tilted towards her emotional and mental state, her husband’s leaned on the physical. Jelly Roll previously got down to details about how his obesity affected his daily lifestyle and his sex life.

The musician detailed the intricacies of his sex life with his wife, explaining how he could not perform well in bed due to being overweight. The Blast shared that, besides getting into the act, Jelly Roll had issues getting aroused even while looking at his beautiful wife’s body.

He described his sex life as being at an all-time low before he made a conscious effort to lose weight by letting go of drugs, alcohol, and changing many of his life habits. Jelly Roll did not hold back with the details; he likened intimate moments with his wife to playing a game of Twister.

“Left foot here, right foot in the X. You know, are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something,” the country singer detailed. Jelly Roll also noted that being obese put a strain on bonding with his son, Noah, as he could not play sports like basketball with him despite his desire to.

In an earlier release, The Blast detailed a phase where Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll had their marriage on the rocks. This happened due to the country singer’s wave of infidelity.

The musician admitted his fault, though insisting that his cheating did not translate to a claim that he did not love the podcaster. The situation ultimately led to the lovebirds separating for a while, but they came back stronger as a couple and renewed their vows in 2023.

“Who knew that us breaking up in 2018, me moving back to Vegas & you coming to get me back – would. Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground,” Bunnie Xo wrote on social media.

Jelly Roll revealed that his moment of infection was one of the worst in his lifetime, explaining that it stemmed from the wrong crowd he hung around with.

He noted that he kept company with men who cheated on their partners, prompting him to view cheating as the norm. The bad influence, alongside his heavy drug use, led him to allow his fleshy desires to take control.
