During Lainey Wilson’s high-energy performance of “4X4XU” on Tuesday night, Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO created one of the most touching moments of the evening. In the middle of the crowd’s excitement, Jelly Roll gently grabbed Bunnie’s hand and led her to center stage—where the two shared a tender dance and warm embrace as the audience erupted in applause and Lainey cheered them on.

“Ladies, if he wanted to – he would 🥹🤍,” she captioned. “S/o to our sister @laineywilson for this banger & letting us invade her set for a moment 💫.”

Though Bunnie appeared slightly shy about dancing in front of a massive crowd, her affection for Jelly Roll was clear as she smiled through the sweet surprise. She praised him for always knowing how to lift her spirits.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie’s love story began in 2015, when they met during one of his performances at a small Las Vegas bar. As Jelly Roll recalled in an interview:

“She said she fell in love with the saddest eyes in the room.”

One year later, the couple returned to Vegas, where he spontaneously proposed during a show—and they eloped that very night. In a full-circle moment, the pair returned to the same Vegas chapel in August 2023 to renew their vows, this time surrounded by close friends and family.

Jelly Roll has often shared how much Bunnie means not just to him, but to his children, Bailee and Noah. In a touching Instagram tribute, he praised her devotion as a stepmother:

“It takes a special kind of woman to raise a kid that isn’t her child and still treat the child as if she was. Bunnie is that special woman… She is kind, patient, and caring.”

He added that watching the bond between Bunnie and his daughter Bailee grow into something so meaningful has been “nothing short of magical.”

“You are the epitome of a good mom… You chose to step up, and man, you have knocked it out of the park.”

Their love story is one of authenticity, resilience, and deep connection — both on and off the stage. And moments like this one remind fans that sometimes, the most powerful performances are the unscripted ones.
