One thing about Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO is that they're both go-getters. While the country star is touring in the UK and performing at the Vatican, his wife is also making a name for herself. Bunnie XO has been killing it with the Dumb Blonde Podcast, interviewing guests like Dolly Parton and Bon Jovi. Recently, she announced a new project she's working on, and Jelly Roll didn't hesitate to show his support.

On Wednesday, September 17, Bunnie announced that her new memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, will be out February 2026. In a collaborative post on Instagram with People, Bunnie revealed that she would be sharing her "modern-day rags-to-riches story." She's giving us all of it, the nitty gritty truth.
"I've always considered myself an open book, so when it came time to pour my heart into chapters, it only felt natural to write about what I know best — my journey, my perspective and the grit that's carried me through," she told the magazine.
Her hope, she said, is that her audience can "feel every emotion with [her]" as she tells her life story, "stripped down one last time and bared my soul for the world to see." The memoir will hit shelves on February 10, 2026, and is currently available for preorder.
What Jelly Roll Had To Say About His Wife's New Memoir
On Friday, September 19, while Jelly Roll was at the iHeartRadio music Festival, he shared excitement for her next milestone.
"Bunnie's book is completely stripped down. It's authentic, it's real, it's Bunnie unstripped in every way she can be." He also shared a little anecdote for those who know Bunnie and those who don't. "If you know who Bunnie is, and you like her, you're gonna love her. If you love her, you're going to fall in love with her. And if you don't know who she is, you're going to be fascinated and blown away by this."
The country singer first met his wife while she was attending one of his concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2015. Although the model had a boyfriend at the time, she recalled being super intrigued by the singer.
"He was opening for the Moonshine Bandits, and I was like, 'What is this? What is this man? This big southern boy.'" The couple ultimately reconnected a year later and got married that August, in the same city where they had met. Now, they're taking on the entertainment industry together, and let's just say this couple is a force to be reckoned with.
"Nobody's seen in us what we see in each other," Jelly Roll said on a January 2024 episode of the Full Send Podcast, "and I think that's what makes our love so special."
