Time travel isn't real, but Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's Instagram throwback might make you think otherwise. Celebrating their 8th anniversary, the 44-year-old Dumb Blonde podcast host shared a photo that captured the pair looking so different, fans had to blink twice.

On Saturday, August 31, Bunnie unveiled moments from the couple's past, including a snapshot from their impromptu 2016 wedding. This image showed a younger Jelly Roll, without his trademark beard and the social media star sporting a softer, pre-fame look. "That's how long I've called you mine," she captioned, alongside a detailed account of the exact time they've spent together, down to the second. "Thank you for cutting your fingers on all of my jagged edges. Without you, I wouldn't be the woman I am today. 🤍"

Bunnie's tribute to her beau continued: "People always talk about how much I've helped you, but I don't think they realize it was an even trade. 8 years J baby, you're now officially the longest relationship I've ever been in." She joked, "Not sure if we should congratulate you or be concerned that you've survived. 🤣 I loved you then, I love you now & I'll love you forever. Happy Anniversary sweet thang!"

Taking to Instagram, Jelly Roll wrote, "8 years of laughing til our stomach hurts , of late night tv shows and giggles , unconditional love and overcoming obstacles , pushing boundaries and pushing each other further and further towards our dreams . 8 years of building. But 8 years is a small candle compared to the forever that I know is OUR story."
