Jelly Roll, 39, earned eight nominations at the awards show and took home two awards. He also took the stage for a performance of his hit “Save Me” withLainey Wilson.

In aTikTok videoshared last week, Bunnie reflected on her and Jelly Roll’s 2018 breakup and how the split ultimately helped them grow as a couple.
“Who knew us breaking up in 2018, me moving back to Vegas & you coming to get me back - would have put us on this wild journey called life,” she wrote at the time.
“We finally committed to each other & did everything we promised each other the first night in 2016,” Bunnie continued. “Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground. I yuh you so muchhh.”
