JELLY'S ON A ROLL!

Credits hooker wife Bunnie for hopping to his defense!

CORPULENT crooner Jelly Roll went from being a jailbird to country music’s hottest star with a happy home life and says he owes it all to a hooker with a heart of gold — his wife, Bunnie Xo!

The 38-year-old Son of a Sinner singer — born Jason DeFord — met Bunnie, 43, in 2015 when he was living in a van and his drug-addled ex-girlfriend had custody of his daughter Bailee, who was born in 2008 while Jelly was doing time for a coke bust.

But Bunnie was rolling in dough from her work as a high-end escort and began to fix his life. She ponied up the cash for Jelly to hire a lawyer to seek custody of Bailee, then bought them a place to live.
