The genre-bending superstar, whose real name is Jason DeFord, took to social media and reminisced on “8 years of marriage to my best friend” with a touching Instagram post.

“8 years of laughing til our stomach hurts, of late night TV shows and giggles, unconditional love and overcoming obstacles, pushing boundaries and pushing each other further and further towards our dreams,” Jelly Roll wrote. “8 years of building. But 8 years is a small candle compared to the forever that I know is OUR story. I can’t let this post go by without taking a second to praise and show you how proud of you I am.” He then expressed his admiration for Bunnie XO’s achievements, highlighting her “amazing” success on social media and her popular podcast.

Jelly Roll went on to praise Bunnie XO for being an inspiration to women across the globe, before graciously thanking her for being there for him and his daughter, Bailee Ann. “To see the way you inspire people, especially other women, makes my heart want to explode with joy. The amount of women who come up to me and say they relate to you and love your content makes my soul smile,” he continued. “Thank you for your consistency in my life, Thank you for your love and attention, Thank you for raising our daughter as your own, [and] thank your believing in me when I was with believing in. I can’t wait to see you in San Jose. Lets cheers to many, many, many more.”

Thank you for cutting your fingers on all of my jagged edges. Without you, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today. 🤍 People always talk about how much I’ve helped you, but I don’t think they realize it was an even trade.”

The successful businesswoman and self-proclaimed “Trailer Park Barbara Walters” continued, “8 years J baby, you’re now officially the longest relationship I’ve ever been in. Not sure if we should congratulate you or be concerned that you’ve survived. 🤣 I loved you then, I love you now & I’ll love you forever. Happy Anniversary, sweet thang! 💫 @jellyroll615
