Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo proved that even kitchen mishaps can be filled with laughter and love this past Christmas. The country music star and his podcaster wife shared a charming Instagram video on December 25th, showcasing their playful attempt at gluten-free baking.
Bunnie Xo, admitting her lack of baking prowess, captioned the video: “When you can’t bake to save your life but your hubby requests gluten free biscuits & he knos how terrible they’re about to be.” The video captures the couple lightheartedly singing along to Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” while Bunnie struggles to shape the dough into something resembling biscuits.
Jelly Roll, ever the supportive husband, offered playful teasing and gentle guidance. “These are gonna be awful. Those look like sugar cookies,” he quipped, prompting laughter from both. Bunnie, clearly out of her element, sought his advice: “Should I make them bigger? I’m not a baker.” Jelly Roll, with a twinkle in his eye, responded, “I’d give them more than an inch. I’d give them an inch and a half.”
The video’s comedic highlight came when Bunnie, surveying her less-than-perfect creations, exclaimed, “Where is Nara Smith when you need her 🤣,” referencing the model and social media personality known for her culinary expertise. The couple’s joy and genuine affection for each other shone through, making it clear that the holiday spirit was alive and well in their kitchen.

This lighthearted Christmas moment comes on the heels of Jelly Roll’s recent public journey towards a healthier lifestyle. In a November cover story with PEOPLE, the “Wild Ones” singer revealed a remarkable 110-pound weight loss, attributing his success to conquering his food addiction and embracing a disciplined approach to eating and exercise.
“The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,” he shared. “I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche.”
His weight loss journey significantly accelerated during his Beautifully Broken tour, where he and his crew incorporated daily basketball games into their routine. This shift towards prioritizing physical activity and healthy food choices marked a dramatic change from his previous tour experiences, which often revolved around less healthy habits. “It’s cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs,” Jelly Roll reflected. “And now our tour culture is around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day.”

Jelly Roll’s commitment to a healthier lifestyle both on and off tour serves as an inspiration, demonstrating that positive change is possible with dedication and support. His playful Christmas baking adventure with Bunnie Xo underscores the importance of finding joy and laughter in everyday moments, even amidst culinary challenges.
