Jelly Roll emphasized that, despite the challenges they faced, his wife was never the source of the problems in their relationship.

"Dude, I married a f–king big-tittied, blond, beautiful woman. I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you cry," he said proudly, PageSix reported.

The singer reflected on how his weight gain and past addiction affected his family life.

"I realized then how much my addiction was hurting this family," he admitted, noting that family members often cater to the person struggling with addiction, sometimes unintentionally enabling harmful patterns.

At his heaviest, Jelly Roll weighed 550 pounds and said he felt like a "zombie," disconnected from life and his loved ones.
