Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo may be one of country music’s most high-profile modern-day couples, but they’ve never forgotten their roots.
Over the weekend, amateur MMA fighter LaTasha Marzolla — who also happens to be one of Bunnie’s childhood best friends – shared video of an incredible early birthday gift she received from Bunnie.
The clip begins as the pair are driving to a car dealership.
“I know it’s not your birthday yet, but I told you I was gonna do this anyways for you, so I figured why not … get you a vehicle while it’s your birthday month,” Bunnie tells LaTasha.
“So we have one that’s already paid for, that you’ll own, that’s paid for in cash,” she continues.
The two women then meet a car salesman, who hands LaTasha the keys to her brand new car. She gives Bunnie a big hug and hops into the driver’s seat.
“Thank you so much, I love you,” she replies, holding her hand over her heart.
In her video, LaTasha also provides a little back story on her friendship with Bunnie, whose legal name is Alyssa.
“You guys know her as Bunnie, but to me she will always just be Lys,” LaTasha writes. “We met when we were 14 in theater class and were inseparable from that moment on. I moved to Nashville because she told me to chase my dreams … and in the next month we are opening our brand new gym called ‘Sacred Heart.”
Bunnie reposted the video on her Facebook page, adding “Nothing makes me happier than seeing the ppl around me succeed.”
Bunnie Xo frequently shares snapshots into her family life with Jelly, their daughter Bailee and the rest of her circle. Most recently, she opened up about a health scare in which an MRI indicated she might have a small aneurysm in her carotid artery. Fortunately, that turned out to be a false alarm.
