Jelly Roll’s Wife, Bunnie Xo Faces Death: Health Scare and Shocking Discovery About Blood Vessel Abnormality
Bunnie Xo, wife of country music sensation Jelly Roll, has bravely shared the terrifying health scare she faced this spring and summer. In a candid video posted on Facebook on July 27, Bunnie opened up about the frightening moments that led to an MRI and a consultation with a neurologist, detailing the ups and downs of her health journey.
A Nightmare Turned into a Relief: Bunnie Xo’s Health Scare
While fans of Bunnie Xo may know her for her supportive role in Jelly Roll’s life and career, what they didn’t know was the private battle she was fighting behind the scenes. It all began in March, when Bunnie started experiencing “really weird headaches.” Concerned, she decided to visit her doctor, which eventually led to an MRI earlier this month.
“When I got the test results back, they said that they spotted an aneurysm on my carotid artery,” Bunnie explained. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the carotid arteries are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain.
Her world was rocked when she heard the news: “And I needed to go in for a CT scan with contrast to rule it out,” Bunnie continued. For her, the thought of an aneurysm was deeply personal and terrifying. “Anybody that knows me knows that having an aneurysm is one of my biggest fears because my mom had one, and it actually ruptured, but she lived.”
A Roller Coaster of Emotions
After undergoing the CT scan, Bunnie learned that she had a “two-millimeter aneurysm” on her carotid artery. “So the past four days, it literally felt like I kind of had a death sentence,” she confessed. “You have to kind of come to grips with your own mortality, and that’s never a fun experience to go through, ever.”
But the story took a turn for the better when Bunnie went for a second opinion from a neurosurgeon. The surgeon revealed encouraging news: “He told me that he does not think that it is an aneurysm,” Bunnie shared. “He also thinks that in six months, whenever I come back to retest and do another CT scan, that he will be able to prove that it is an artifact. His words were, ‘I don’t even know why the radiologist sent you in for this.'”

Praise for the Good News: A Health Scare Turns into Hope
With a sigh of relief, Bunnie added, “Praise Jesus that I got that cleared.” While she plans to get a second opinion on Tuesday, the positive update has lifted a heavy burden from her shoulders.
Bunnie Xo’s health journey wasn’t the only family struggle in recent years. She had also documented her father’s brave battle with Stage IV cancer, which tragically ended with his passing in May. Despite the hardships, the couple has found moments of joy and hope. Jelly Roll and Bunnie are currently undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy in the hopes of expanding their family.
A Family That Fights Together: Jelly Roll’s Support Through Tough Times
Bunnie’s health scare is just one chapter in a rollercoaster of personal challenges, but her resilience shines through in her openness about the difficult times. Jelly Roll has stood by her side, just as she has supported him through his struggles. Together, they continue to face life’s ups and downs with love and strength.
As fans eagerly follow Bunnie’s journey, her story is a testament to the power of hope, second opinions, and the love of family—reminding everyone that life’s toughest challenges can often lead to the most beautiful blessings.
