Bunny Zoe said that although she and her husband, Jelly Roll, “always had a sex life,” they “had to go through the peaks and valleys, especially as he got older.”
The podcaster said in an interview published Saturday that she loves the Grammy winner’s newfound “excitement and new zest for life.”
Bunny, 46, chimed in: “It’s so childish, it’s so dizzying.” “Just watching him grow into the guy I always saw him as.”
The author of Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetically elaborates, “Even when he weighed 500 pounds, this guy was an agile, big guy. I’m like, ‘He’s athletic under that meat suit.'” Now that he’s lost weight and can be the guy I always knew, I think it’s given him a new sense of happiness. If he’s happy, I’m happy too. ”
Jelly Roll, who married Bunny Zoe in 2016, also spoke candidly in December about how being overweight has affected his sex life.
“My sex life was horrible,” the 41-year-old actress recalled while appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience. “It was so big that I couldn’t even get excited about it.”
Jelly Roll made it clear that his wife was not the problem.
“Hey, I married a beautiful blonde woman with big breasts, you know what I’m saying?” he said. “I married a woman who makes me laugh even when I cry.”
The artist quipped, “I had to play Twister to have sex.”
“Left foot here, right foot over the X,” Jelly Roll joked. “Have you arrived yet? Please let me know if you feel anything.”
“I mean, it was bad,” he admitted.
Jelly Roll went on to explain how his “addiction” and weight gain affected his family.
“I realized that when you become addicted, your family tends to the needs of the addict,” he revealed. “It’s natural. If someone in your family was a drug addict, you would feel the need to help them in their absence, just like you would help their children. That’s what we do as a family, it’s human nature.”
“That’s when I realized how much damage my addiction was doing to this family,” the superstar added.
Jelly Roll once recalled that at his heaviest he weighed 550 pounds, which made him feel like a “zombie.”
“I’m sorry it took so long,” Bunny said on the Dumb Blonde podcast in 2024 about not starting her weight loss journey sooner. “I can’t believe I was walking around like a 550-pound zombie for so many years. When I look back at the pictures, I just feel empty.”
Last month, Jelly Roll explained to Men’s Health why he decided not to use GLP-1 to lose weight.
“I just remember people telling me GLP-1 and taking Ozempic and Munjaro and saying, ‘Listen, you’re going to feel a little sick to your stomach,'” he says. “I’ve treated my body horribly. I can’t believe God gave me this voice for this long. I didn’t deserve it. I literally didn’t do it out of fear.”
Going from over 500 pounds to 265 pounds has dramatically improved the hitmaker’s life.
“There was a moment when my wife and I had to put two queen-sized beds next to each other because I was so fat, because I couldn’t fit in the king-sized bed anymore. I was at my limit,” he recalled. “It’s totally different now. I’m chasing her around the house. I’m like a teenager again! I’m like the Pink Panther, popping out of every corner. And when she opens the cabinet, I say, ‘Hello!’ ”
