Bunnie Xo Says Jelly Roll Is Already Back on the Dating Scene and Wants Someone “Opposite” of Her

Bunnie Xo is giving fans a front row seat to her ex-husband’s next chapter. The podcast host opened up about Jelly Roll’s love life during the Thursday, June 18 episode of her show, Dumb Blonde. She made clear she has nothing but support for him as he steps back into the dating world.

The update comes just days after news broke that the couple is divorcing following nearly ten years together.

Jelly Roll filed the paperwork in Tennessee back in May, and the filing became public on Monday, June 15. Bunnie, 46, addressed the split candidly on her podcast rather than letting speculation take over.

Jelly Roll Has “Started Dating,” Bunnie Confirms

Bunnie told listeners flat out that her ex is already putting himself back out there. She said his DMs are open and encouraged women interested in him to reach out directly. Her tone throughout was supportive rather than bitter.

She also praised how Jelly Roll, 41, looks and feels right now. Bunnie described him as being in his finest season, noting he is healthier than she has ever seen him. She added that he is feeling confident these days and that he looks better than ever.

Bunnie did slip at one point and referred to him as her husband before catching herself. She corrected course and called him by his given name, Jay, instead. The moment reflected how fresh the split still is, even as both move forward, and it drew a laugh from her even as she addressed it.

She Wants Women to “Shoot Their Shot”

Rather than discouraging interest in her ex, Bunnie actively invited it. She told her audience not to be intimidated and to go after what they want. She framed herself as someone willing to step aside gracefully and even joked that she would happily play the role of supportive ex-wife.

Bunnie did set one condition for anyone hoping to date him. She said her only issue would arise if a potential partner were dishonest or disrespectful when meeting him. She warned that she and those close to Jelly Roll would research anyone new in his life.

She kept the message lighthearted despite the warning. Bunnie said she simply wants honesty and good intentions from whoever enters the picture. Her overall message was one of welcome rather than gatekeeping, and she made clear she has no interest in standing in the way of his happiness.

What Kind of Partner Jelly Roll Is Looking For

Bunnie also gave her take on the type of woman she believes would suit her ex next. She said he needs someone genuine and grounded rather than image-focused. She specifically noted he is not looking for someone chasing influencer status.

She went further, saying she believes Jelly Roll wants someone who is essentially her opposite. Bunnie framed that as a good thing for him rather than a knock on herself. She said that kind of change is what he deserves at this stage in his life.

According to Bunnie, Jelly Roll’s instinct right now leans toward wanting to settle down again. She said she has actually pushed back on that impulse. Her advice to him was to take time and enjoy being single before committing to anything serious, reminding him that he had just come out of a decade-long relationship.

She framed this stretch of his life as a moment to explore rather than rush into something new. Bunnie said she wants him to enjoy this season fully. Her encouragement seemed rooted in her desire for the best for him going forward.

Bunnie Addresses Her Own Dating Status

Bunnie was equally open about where she stands personally. She said she is not in a rush to date anyone new right now. Her focus, she explained, is on herself rather than on finding a new relationship.

She also used the moment to shut down a rumor that had been circulating online. Bunnie denied any romantic connection to musician Chad Kroeger, calling the narrative embarrassing and untrue. She said the internet ran with a story that had no basis in reality, and apologized to Kroeger directly for the rumor reaching him at all.

Bunnie closed her remarks by reassuring fans she is doing well despite the very public nature of the breakup. She said she is emotionally stable as she navigates this new phase. Her tone throughout the episode remained upbeat and self-assured, leaving listeners with the sense that both she and Jelly Roll are moving forward on their own terms.
