Jelly Roll is candidly sharing how being overweight affected his sex life with his wife, Bunnie Xo.
The singer, who’s lost more than 200 pounds since embarking on a weight loss journey in 2022, confessed that he previously couldn’t get into the mood due to his weight.
“My sex life was horrible,” he shared during his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that dropped Wednesday.
“I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big,” he admitted.
He stressed that his wife was definitely not the issue.
“Dude, I married a f–king big-tittied, blond, beautiful woman, you know what I mean?” he told Rogan proudly. “I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you cry.”
The singer, 41, quipped that he was “having to play Twister to have sex.”
“Left foot here, right foot on the X,” he cracked. “Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.”
“I mean, it was bad,” he added.
Jelly shed tears when describing how his “addiction” and weight gain affected his family.
“I realized that in addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict,” he said. “It’s nature. Like if somebody in your family was a drug addict you would help with their kids, you would feel a need to help in their absence — it’s what we do as a family, it’s human nature.”
“I realized then how much my addiction was hurting this family,” he continued.
Jelly previously weighed 550 pounds at his heaviest. He appeared on his wife’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast in December 2024 and recalled feeling like a “zombie.”
“I’m sorry it took so long,” he said about not starting his weight loss journey sooner. “I cannot believe I walked around like a 550-pound zombie for years. I even look back at the pictures, and I was just hollow.”
Aside from Jelly’s struggles with weight, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing between the singer and Bunnie, who got married in 2016 after a whirlwind romance.
The “Wild Ones” artist talked about cheating on Bunnie during his appearance on the “Human School” podcast in October, calling it one of the worst moments of his life. He shared that at the time he was “hanging around a bunch of people that were cheating on their wives.”
“The repair has been special,” he said about working on their marriage. “And we’re stronger than we could have ever been.”
Bunnie, 45, later clapped back at a critic who blasted her for forgiving her husband for his extramarital affair.
“It actually takes a stronger woman to face pain head-on, do the work, and rebuild with the man she loves — instead of running or gossiping,” she replied. “Growth isn’t weakness, it’s grace. But not everyone’s built for that kind of strength.”
