    Jelly Roll's sex life was "horrible" before he lost nearly 200lbs

    The Need a Favor hitmaker began shedding the pounds in 2022 and has candidly admitted that in the time before then, getting intimate with wife Bunnie Xo was like "having to play Twister".


    Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: "[Before I lost eight, my] sex life with my wife [Bunnie Xo] was horrible.

    "Dude, I married a f****** big t**** blonde beautiful woman, dog. You know what I mean? I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you're crying, Joe.

    "I couldn't even get aroused, I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex

    "Left foot here, right foot in the X, you know? Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something. I mean, it was bad."

    Jelly - who has Baylee, 17, and Noah, nine, from previous relationships - was also "too big" to throw a football with his son, and realised how much his weight, like his drug addiction, was having an impact on his family.

    He said: "I think about my son. My brother would have to go throw football with him. I was too big to throw the football. I was like, 'That's what my addiction has done to these people.'...

    "I realised that in addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict. It's nature.

    "Like if somebody in your family was a drug addict, you would help with their kids, you would feel a need to help in their absence - it's what we do as a family, it's human nature.

    "I realiesd then how much my addiction was hurting this family."

    The 41-year-old singer vowed to start exercising and embarked on his first walk.

    He recalled telling his loved ones: "I'm done lying to y'all and I'm done lying to me. I told y'all I was going to go do this walk and I'm going to do this walk."

    Jelly was greeted by a rapturous response when he returned home from his stroll.

    He said: "I'm coming up the driveway to the hill and all my family is out there, cheering me on, clapping, hands up.

    "I'd done nothing but lie to them for years about this weight. I had done nothing. I'd never proved to them that I was going to change or that I'd be a man of my word in any regard.

    "They had every reason not to go out there and cheer me on. That was the moment where I was like, 'Damn.'"

    The Wild Ones singer is proud of his transformation.

    He said: "I never thought I'd lose this weight, dude. Dude, I feel great, Joe. I feel really, really good, dude."
