LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie DeFord, has reportedly been jealous of her husband’s close friendship with red-hot country music star, Lainey Wilson.

The two have been married since 2016 after Bunnie and the ‘Son of a Sinner’ fell in love with each other. At the time, it was said Roll had nearly nothing to his name.

‘Jelly gushes about Lainey to Bunnie all the time’

However, lately, Roll has not stopped talking about Wilson after they came together for the hit duet ‘Save Me’, RadarOnline.com reported.

An insider revealed, “Bunnie fell in love with Jelly when the guy didn't have a pot to pee in, but he's the toast of country music now right along with Lainey — and they're enjoying the ride together.”

The source continued, “Jelly gushes about Lainey to Bunnie all the time, to the point where she asked if he's got a thing for her.”

Bunnie DeFord’s ‘desperate to save her marriage’

The source then mentioned, “He insists they're just friends, but Bunnie is a savvy girl — she figures where there's smoke, there's fire and is desperate to save her marriage!”

It has also been said that due to his wife’s apparent fears, the 38-year-old singer even renewed his vows with her in August in Las Vegas. The source added that the country star has “learned to kind of cool it talking about Lainey, seeing it can set Bunnie off.”

Though Wilson has reportedly been in a relationship with ex-NFL quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges, Roll’s wife “still "lives in fear this close kinship with her husband could lead to something more."

Lainey Wilson says success came when she was 'ready'

This comes after a few months back Wilson spoke about her struggling days with PEOPLE.

The singer-songwriter shared, “I had a lot of folks slam the door in my face. 

“There were some hard times, there were some rough days, times when I should have probably packed it up and went home, hooked the trailer to the back of the truck and said, ‘I can't do this.’”



 

“But I've always had a really weird sense of peace knowing that this is the only thing I know how to do,” the 31-year-old asserted.

Wilson noted, “I'm very grateful that it has taken me a long time [to get here],” before adding, “There are moments where I wish things would've happened a little sooner, but the truth is I wasn't ready. I think time was supposed to be a big part of my story.”
