Bunnie didn\u2019t want to hold anything back, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s just really important to be real. My husband is my best friend. I f***ing love that man \u2014 and we have been through hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

But I just feel like my husband and I had to go through that because it\u2019s part of our testimony. It\u2019s a part of what we\u2019ve survived \u2014 we choose to be together every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jelly Roll, meanwhile, praised his wife for being outspoken.<\/p>\n
