\t\t\t\t\tA Timeline of Jelly Roll & Bunnie Xo\u2019s\u00a0Relationship\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tIn an interview with Taste of Country Nights <\/em>posted Thursday (July 9), Yelawolf \u2014 who apparently lived in the same Tennessee neighborhood as Jelly for some time \u2014 revealed how he came to the future country star\u2019s assistance at a time when the \u201cSon of a Sinner\u201d singer was struggling financially. \u201cI took [Jelly Roll] on tour with me a few times, and let him open some random shows as well,\u201d the musician born Michael Wayne Atha told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe pulled up [to the show] in a Crown Vic, an old cop car, still with the spotlight on it with no license plate, no license, ridin\u2019 dirty,\u201d Yelawolf continued. \u201cWhen I came back to Nashville, when Jelly was down bad, I gave him a brand new Chevrolet Silverado when I was on tour so he could run his family around for Christmas. That\u2019s my dog. He\u2019s been family for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJelly has been open about how humble his beginnings were, from spending time in and out of prison when he was young to struggling with substance abuse issues. Over time, he was able to build a career in music \u2014 first as a rapper, then as a country artist \u2014 motivated in large part by his children, Bailee and Noah, as well as Bunnie Xo, his wife of nearly a decade. The couple recently separated, with Jelly filing for divorce in May.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pair is, however, still planning to welcome a baby together through IVF, as revealed by the podcaster on an episode of Dumb Blonde <\/em>after news of the divorce went public. \u201cMe and my wife are best friends,\u201d Jelly said at a recent stop on his Little Ass Shed Tour. \u201cWe will always be best friends \u2026 Bunnie, I love you, baby. Thank you for those 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJelly has come a long way since the days when Yelawolf helped him out. The artist has won three Grammys and one CMA Award, and his most recent album, Beautifully Broken<\/em>, topped the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
