On the 18 June episode of her US podcast 'Dumb Blonde,' Bunnie Xo addressed the Jelly Roll age-gap rumour, denied she is dating Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger, and confirmed that her estranged husband has in fact started seeing other people after filing for divorce. The episode, titled 'The Divorce,' landed just days after news broke that Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, had filed in Tennessee on 18 May after nearly 10 years of marriage to Alisa DeFord, better known as Bunnie Xo.
The speculation had been moving at internet speed before Bunnie said a word. One rumour claimed she had already moved on with Kroeger after posting TikTok content tied to Nickelback, while another tried to pair Jelly Roll with 21-year-old singer Jessi Murph, his collaborator on 'Wild Ones.' It was the sort of messy post-divorce guessing game celebrity culture churns out on autopilot, fast, loud and usually a bit thin on evidence.
