In an October 2025 episode of the “Human School” podcast, Jelly Roll acknowledged that “One of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife.”

The couple put in “a lot of work to repair” their relationship, he added, noting they became “stronger than we could have ever been.” He did not offer any further details about the nature or timeline of the cheating, though he admitted “I was hanging around a bunch of people that were cheating on their wives.”

“I wish our story would’ve went in the way that it never had an affair, and I’m in a way glad it happened, but man, I’m proud of who we are today,” Jelly Roll said. “I truly am.”

Bunnie, 46, told fans on TikTok in 2024 that the pair briefly split in 2018.

“We finally committed to each other and did everything we promised each other the first night in 2016,” she wrote. “Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground.”
