Jelly Roll had a great night at the 2026 Grammys, and according to Bunnie Xo, he’s planning on sharing the wealth.
In a post-awards interview with Entertainment Tonight, the podcaster revealed that her country-star husband — who spent time in and out of jail when he was younger — wants one of his three new golden gramophones to find its home at the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center in Nashville, his home city.
“I know he’s gonna give one to the the Juvenile in Nashville to give them a little inspiration and let them, you know, have a Grammy to themselves,” Bunnie said. “But he’s just so special. That is my husband. That’s what he does.”
She also joked, “I don’t know what we’re gonna do with the other two, but I’m getting one for sure, ’cause I feel like I earned it … teamwork makes the dream work, baby.”
The 2026 Grammys took place Sunday night (Feb. 1) at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. At the ceremony, Jelly won all three of the awards he was up for, taking home best country duo/group performance for “Amen” with Shaboozey, best contemporary country album for Beautifully Broken and best contemporary Christian music song for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake.
While accepting best contemporary country album, the musician specifically shouted out his wife. “I would have never changed my life without you,” he told Bunnie, who was watching from the audience. “I would have been dead or in jail.”
If Jelly does end up giving one of his Grammys to the youth detention center, it would be a full-circle moment years in the making. The Tennessee native spent various periods of time behind bars between the ages of 14 and 24 for charges such as aggravated robbery and drug dealing, but this past December, he was pardoned for those crimes by Gov. Bill Lee.
