Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have demonstrated that it’s never too late to experience the joys of prom.

In a heartwarming video shared by Bunnie, the couple attended a dance event hosted by Jelly’s 17-year-old daughter, Bailee, of whom Bunnie has full custody. “I learned a powerful lesson as a parent this week,” Bunnie noted in the clip, which features the couple slow-dancing while wearing crowns. “Bailee has always hated school dances, but because J and I never went to ours, we’ve always pushed her: ‘Go make memories. Go have the experiences we missed.’”

Bunnie revealed that Bailee kept the details of the evening a surprise, which coincidentally occurred the night before Jelly’s 41st birthday. “What we walked into stopped us in our tracks — a full room of friends and family … a night she called ‘Under the Stars,’” Bunnie explained. “A prom/birthday party she created for us. She crowned us King and Queen, and we danced and sang like teenagers who finally got their moment.”

Bunnie emphasized the lesson learned from the experience: “Time is the most precious thing we own. Spend it on your people. The memories you make with them will outlive everything else.”

The following day, Bunnie shared photos from the event, showcasing Jelly’s facial hair regrowing after he shocked fans by shaving it off in November. Bunnie appeared in a glamorous white and blue floral gown, while Jelly opted for an all-black ensemble paired with a matching cowboy hat.

“To the man I worship & admire… Loving you in all your eras is my favorite thing to do. Happy Birthday my shooting star, I love love love youuuuu,” Bunnie expressed.

Jelly, who has two children from previous relationships, explained in a recent interview that Bailee and her younger brother Noah were placed under his and Bunnie’s full custody. Jelly credited Bunnie as a “beacon of change” in his journey to regain custody of Bailee, which required him to prove his parenting abilities to the court after a stint in jail.

“You’re talking about a woman that came in and took a child that was soon to be born and a child that [we were] soon to have full custody of,” Jelly remarked. “I would have never got custody of my daughter without her. I wouldn’t have had the stability or the money.”
