Bunnie Xo shares why she had ‘sugar daddies’ while dating Jelly Roll
Bunnie Xo recently got candid about the reason she sought out “sugar daddies” while dating Jelly Roll.
On the Monday, June 22 episode of her show, the Dumb Blonde Podcast host said that she turned to “sugar daddies” to help fund his growing music career.
“When Jay and I first got together, we were two kids who literally had nothing,” she revealed. “Everybody always likes to say that I had all the money when we first got together, and I did this for him, and I did that for him. And I mean, I had sugar daddies at the time that were paying for all of this,” Bunnie Xo continued.
“It wasn’t like I was over here just sitting on f—— a million dollars and was taking care of him,” the podcaster added. “Like, I was turning t—- to pay our bills and to get lawyers and to travel and to, you know, go on tour and stuff like that,” she said.
Bunnie Xo dropped the bomb when she revealed she once worked as a high-end escort. “I literally went on tour with him and was seeing clients just to fund our life at the time. As this thing started growing, it just, I mean, I remember there were shows that my husband would play to f—— 20 people,” she recalled.
One month after they filed for divorce, Bunnie Xo looked back on her 10-year relationship with Jelly Roll. They first met in 2015 at a Las Vegas show, where he opened the concert, and they started dating in July 2016. She shared that she always took on the role of his protector and support system, holding the relationship together. However, communication between them faded, the distance grew, and eventually their marriage ended.
