Rapper Jelly Roll, 41, shared all the ways his life was hit by his weight, including his sex life with wife, podcaster Bunnie Xo, 45. “I realized then how much my addiction had been hurting this family, how much that my sex life with my wife was horrible,” the Grammy-nominated artist said in an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience. “I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you’re crying, Joe,” he told Rogan. He also noted other ways his weight hurt his family life, such as his inability to throw a football around with his son. “That’s what my addiction has done to these people,” he admitted, crying as he spoke. “I realized then how much my addiction was hurting this family.” The artist, whose legal name is Jason Bradley DeFord, committed to losing weight around his 39th birthday in December 2023, telling Rogan he had developed “multiple heart issues” and could feel himself “dying.” He also commented on his previous experience with drug addiction, saying his overeating followed similar impulses. DeFord has lost at least 200 pounds as of October 2025.
