Bunnie Xo revealed that finding out about her husband Jelly Roll's infidelity left her contemplating suicide.

The podcaster, 46, recalled suspecting that the musician, 41, was having an affair in her newly released memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic.

Bunnie — who admitted she was — shared that she worried the singer was cheating while they were struggling in their marriage in 2018, just two years after they tied the knot.

After Jelly Roll moved out of their Nashville home following an explosive fight, Bunnie detailed becoming 'depressed.' 

She recalled how when she showed up to one of his local concerts unannounced, he became 'irate.' Though he denied being unfaithful, Bunnie later found out that 'he had his ex-fling waiting for him in a hotel down the street.'

Jelly Roll's best friend's wife confirmed to Bunnie that the singer had been having an affair.

'She'd confirmed all the suspicions and fears I'd felt for the past ten months,' Bunnie — whose real name is Alyssa DeFord – explained. 

'That night I contemplated taking my life,' she wrote. 'The pain was so intense that I genuinely just wanted to end it all.'

'I don't talk about this publicly at all,' Jelly Roll began. 'But one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife.'

The singer continued, 'Because it was the first time that I was like, "I really can't get this right at all. I know I'm in love with this woman." It just really, really, really blew me back.'

He explained that he 'did a lot of work to repair' his relationship with his wife and added that the 'repair has been special.'

Jelly Roll has daughter Bailee, 17, and son Noah, nine, from previous relationships.
