Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO turned heads when they arrived to the 2025 ACM Awards in style.

The “Son Of A Sinner” singer and The Dumb Blonde Podcast host arrived in style to the 60th Academy Of Country Music red carpet inside Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Styled by Krista Roser and her assistant Claire Johnson, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO donned matching black ensembles.

Jelly Roll rocked black pants and a Massing Group compression t-shirt, accessorized with a diamond-encrusted chain. He layered the look with a custom black L Sussi denim jacket featuring a lace paisley design and completed the ensemble with custom Ariat boots. His wife, Bunnie XO, wore a custom black lace dress by Jeffrey Kelly with a thigh high slit, pairing it with matching Christian Louboutin heels and minimal accessories.

Jelly Roll is heading to the ACM Awards as a three-time nominee with nods including Entertainer Of The Year, Male Artist of The Year and Album Of The Year (Beautifully Broken).

How Did Jelly Roll And Bunnie Xo Meet?

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO first met at one of the Nashville native’s concerts on Fremont Street in Las Vegas at The Country Saloon in 2015. At the time, Bunnie XO wasn’t familiar with Jelly Roll, as he had not yet been discovered. Despite not knowing each other right off the bat, the two locked eyes and sparked a connection. “We hit it off. She said she fell in love with the saddest eyes in the room,” Jelly Roll previously shared.

In August of 2023, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO returned to the Las Vegas chapel where they wed to renew their vows in an intimate ceremony at the same wedding chapel where they first tied the knot. Bunnie XO has inspired several songs that Jelly Roll has written and released, including “Kill A Man,” “Comfort Zone” and more. The pair have been by each other’s sides through thick and thin, always being each other’s biggest supporter throughout their respective careers.
