Bunnie Xo Talks Jelly Roll Divorce and Hilarious Prison DM on Podcast |

Bunnie Xo has used humour to address her recent separation from her husband, Jelly Roll. During a new episode of her ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast shared on Thursday, June 25, the 46-year-old podcast host joked about her marriage ending, comparing the relationship to serving time in prison.The comedic remarks emerged as Bunnie discussed the direct messages she has received from men since news of Jelly Roll’s divorce filing became public. Bunnie, born Alisa DeFord, claimed to have only responded to two of the many messages she has received, but decided to read several failed attempts at capturing her attention aloud to her podcast co-hosts for entertainment purposes.

Bunnie Xo reads humorous dating messages

One message in particular sparked the conversation that led to Bunnie’s prison sentence joke. The message read: “Hey pretty lady, I’m about to get out of prison on a 10 year bid next year. Please let me go out and have a time with you. That’s all I ask. I promise it will be worth it. Hit me back.”Upon hearing the message, Bunnie responded with initial openness to the sender’s situation. “So listen. I don’t mind that the dude’s in prison,” she quipped, prompting discussion among her co-hosts in the studio.Co-host Hailee Clark immediately asked the logical follow-up question: “But for what?”Bunnie then identified what she found problematic about the approach. “What I don’t like is he said, ‘let me go out and have a time with you,'” Bunnie said. “So that’s where it’s like, okay. So you’re just expecting me to put out on this first date. Which…”Clark expressed her disapproval with a simple “No,” while co-host Meme Shahan offered a humorous observation. “I mean, after 10 years he might need it,” Shahan joked.

Bunnie Xo’s marriage comparison joke

Bunnie’s response to Shahan’s comment led to her prison sentence quip. “I mean, same,” she said. “I just got out of a 10-year bid too bitches, what are we talking about.”The comment prompted laughter from her co-hosts, with Clark making an observation about the turning tables in their conversation. “How the turn tables,” Clark said as Shahan laughed in response.The exchange continued with Bunnie joking about the possibility of receiving a phone call from the imprisoned man. “I’m gonna get a phone call,” she said between laughs, before clarifying her intention. “But I was just joking, I was just cutting the rug buddy,” she insisted, emphasising that her comments about her marriage were meant in jest.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s divorce filing

The podcast appearance came weeks after Jelly Roll officially initiated divorce proceedings. The country music artist, 41, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine. The couple’s date of separation was listed in the filing as May 9, with irreconcilable differences cited as the grounds for the divorce.The filing represented an unexpected development for a couple that had frequently shared their relationship publicly and had been celebrating one another in recent months prior to the separation.

Insight into Jelly Roll’s perspective on the split

According to a source close to Jelly Roll who spoke with PEOPLE on June 19 the country star maintains affection for his estranged wife despite the divorce. “While the country star will always love her, that doesn’t mean that he wants to stay married,” the source said.The insider characterised Jelly Roll’s current state of mind and personal development. “He’s in a very different place than he was when they met. For the first time, he feels healthy, focused and in control of his future,” the source explained, suggesting that the artist’s personal growth may have contributed to the decision to end the marriage.

The couple’s shared history and mutual support

Despite the divorce, sources emphasised the significant role both partners played in each other’s lives during their relationship. When the couple initially met in 2015 both were navigating personal challenges and had not yet achieved the level of fame they would later attain.One source reflected on Bunnie’s impact on Jelly Roll’s success. “She believed in him when not many people did and helped him through some very difficult years. He knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without her and he’s never going to forget that,” the insider said.Another source highlighted the reciprocal nature of their support. “Jelly has also been there for Bunnie through a lot. He’s supported her over and over again throughout the years, through ups and downs,” the person noted, underscoring the mutual investment both partners had made in each other’s wellbeing and development over nearly a decade together.
