I don’t want to find out about it later,\u201d she explained. She clarified that they weren\u2019t \u201cswingers putting pineapples out on your doors\u201d but rather \u201cmore fluid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In 2024, speaking to PEOPLE magazine, Jelly Roll explained that, \u201cI prioritize family and that\u2019s what anchors me down.
