Bunnie Xo says Jelly Roll’s major weight loss has also affected their intimate life.
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, has made it clear that she is not holding back when speaking about his dramatic weight loss journey.
The couple, who have been together since 2015, have built a reputation for being open about their personal lives. That includes honest conversations about the Grammy nominee’s weight and the changes he has gone through over the years.
Bunnie Xo is currently promoting her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, which was released on Tuesday, February 17. In the book, she shares personal stories about their relationship and the ups and downs they have faced together.
The “Need A Favor” singer has also spoken openly about why he decided not to use GLP-1 medications before starting his weight loss journey, which began about five years ago. In an interview with Men’s Health earlier this year, he explained his reasoning.
"I just remember everyone telling me GLP-1s, or taking the Ozempic or the Mounjaro, 'Listen, it's gonna hurt your stomach a little bit.'"
He added: "I've treated my body so bad, I can't believe God's gave me this voice for this long. I didn't deserve it. I literally didn't do it out of fear."
Bunnie Xo recently appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where she spoke about how her husband’s weight loss has changed their sex life. She suggested that his penis appeared “severely bigger” after he lost a significant amount of weight.
"It is very true that when a man loses weight, it grows a lot," she said on The Howard Stern Show.
"He deserves to have a hot streak," she added. "I'm ready for him to just feel his best."
For context, the penis does not physically grow larger after weight loss, according to medical provider LifeMD. However, it can appear bigger because of "the reduction of the 'fat pad' located above the penis."
This refers to the layer of fat above the pubic area, which can cover part of the shaft. When someone loses a significant amount of weight, the fat in that area decreases, and more of the existing length may become visible.
While Jelly Roll expressed happiness before losing weight, Bunnie Xo has said that improving his health has brought noticeable changes to his confidence and overall outlook.
"He's getting his confidence back and he's peacocking around," she continued. "He's got a little strut in his step, and I think it's just the cutest thing."
In the past, the singer shared that at his heaviest, he struggled with arousal due to his size. In 2020, he weighed around 540 pounds, which he has since reduced significantly.
Bunnie Xo also mentioned in a separate interview that she has seen a playful side return to him. Speaking to Us Weekly, she said: "Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I'm like, 'You are athletic under that meat suit.' Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it's brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he's happy, I'm happy."
