Bunnie XO, 46, faced social media criticism after posting a video of a breakfast outing with 24-year-old reality star Dylan Wolf at Waffle House. The podcast host quickly denied that the meeting was a romantic date despite the age-gap buzz.
A Waffle House breakfast and the 22-year age gap
Bunnie XO shared a video of herself and Dylan Wolf, a star of Calabasas Confidential, enjoying a meal at Waffle House. As reported, the clip was captioned to note that it was Wolf's first time visiting the restaurant chain. This sparked immediate backlash from followers who highlighted the significant age difference between the 46-year-old host and the 24-year-old reality star.
Some social media users mocked Dylan Wolf's youth,with one commenter joking that he had only recently obtained his driver's license. According to the report, Bunnie XO responded to these critics by stating that Dylan Wolf "gave her my smile back" and that she is currently "living her best life."
The May 18 divorce filing from Jelly Roll
This public outing occurs in the wake of significant marital turmoil, as Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie XO on May 18. The "Son of a Sinner" singer specified that the couple had actually separated on May 9. The two had a long history,having first met in Las Vegas in 2015 before eloping a year later.
The divorce follows a period of public speculation, during which the couple appeared to hint at problems through cryptic song lyrics and the absence of wedding rings. Despite these signs, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO were still seen together on the red carpet at the 2025 ACM Awards shortly before the legal split became public.
The 'Dumb Blonde' approach to post-divorce selfishness
Bunnie XO has used her platform, The Dumb Blonde podcast, to frame her current behavior as a necessary act of self-care. During an appearance on Open Book with Jenna Bush Hager, Bunnie XO argued that women should feel empowered to be "selfish" and prioritize their own happiness without seeking permission.
The podcast host suggested that her public appearances with different people are not necessarily indicative of romantic relationships. Bunnie XO joked that fans might see her with "multiple men" or even a "freaking camel," emphasizing that the curated nature of social media does not reflect her actual daily life, which she claims involves quiet activities like playing Cards Against Humanity.
The distinction between 'ho activities' and platonic outings
A central point of contention remains whether Bunnie XO is truly platonic with the younger men in her circle. While she explicitly told commenters that the Waffle House trip with Dylan Wolf was not a date, she has not clarified the exact nature of their relationship beyond the claim that he helped her find her smile again.
There remains a gap in the narrative regarding how the transition from a decade-long partnership with Jelly Roll to these new associations happened so rapidly. while Bunnie XO insists she is simply "pouring back into herself," the report notes that some fans find the speed of her social pivot jarring given the length of her previous marriage.
