Jelly Roll might be significantly smaller following his weight loss, but according to Bunnie Xo, his — ahem — manhood has only done the opposite amid the singer’s health journey.
In a candid interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday (Feb. 17), the podcaster didn’t hold back when asked about how her sex life with her husband has changed since he’s dropped a few hundred pounds. “He’s getting his confidence back, and he’s peacocking around,” Bunnie told the radio host, according to People. “He’s got a little strut in his step, and I think it’s just the cutest thing.”
Bunnie went on to share, “I will tell you that it is very true that when a man loses weight, it grows a lot.”
Noting that the country star’s appendage has gotten “severely bigger” in the past few years, the Dumb Blonde host added of her partner, “Oh God, he’s gonna kill me.”
Jelly has been on a weight-loss mission for a few years now, revealing in a January Men’s Health cover story that he’d shed 275 pounds at that point. Though frequent exercise and dieting were both crucial to his success, the Grammy winner told the publication that the most important thing was shifting his mindset.
“Once I started treating food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me,” he explained at the time. “When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating for?”
He’s also been open about how slimming down has improved his sex life with Bunnie. “I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big,” he told Joe Rogan in December. “I was having to play Twister to have sex. ‘Left foot here, right foot on the X. Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.’”
Elsewhere in her conversation with Stern, Bunnie — whose memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic arrived Tuesday — spoke on the more serious topic of her husband having an affair years ago. “When we went through that entire situation, I had to look inside myself also and be like, ‘Why am I attracting these men? Because this seems to be a huge pattern in my life,’” she told the on-air personality.
“Not that I’m making excuses for him, but most of the time when men cheat, women wanna point the finger,” she continued during the interview. “I didn’t wanna do that. I was like, ‘I really love this man’ … I just knew that something was so special in my husband and I knew that he would become the man that he is today. He just needed somebody to love him.”
