Bunnie XO
Bunnie XO is kissing off haters who are criticizing how she shows affection for Jelly Roll on red carpets.
In a recent clip from her Dumb Blonde podcast, the social media star clapped back after trolls accused her of faking her feelings for her husband, citing the fact that they shared only a very brief peck in front of photographers at the Academy of Country Music Awards earlier in May, rather than exchanging a full-blown kiss. “They’re like, ‘She’s not really with him, that was a fake kiss, this is fake love,’” Bunnie began, quoting some of the recent comments she’s seen.
The content creator went on to explain, “When you are on a red carpet, you literally have 300 cameras pointing at you at one moment.”
“If I lingered on his lips longer than 10 seconds, you guys would be like, ‘She’s still a wh–e. Get a room, this is disgusting,’” Bunnie continued. “I have lipgloss on, I have an entire face [of makeup]. My husband has to continue taking pictures after that kiss. Does he want freaking lip liner and gloss all over his face? No.”

The podcaster also said that photographers on red carpets will often specifically ask her and the “Need a Favor” singer to smooch, something she says isn’t asked of “any other couple.” “I don’t mind kissing my husband, but I’m not going to f–king lock lips with him,” Bunnie said. “Same thing on stage, people had a problem with how I was kissing him on stage.”
“First it was I was kissing him too much. Then it was, ‘Oh, she doesn’t like him, she doesn’t even want to kiss him,’” she added. “As the brand has grown, we’re in front of children. We’re in front of families.”
In addition to walking the carpet with Bunnie, Jelly also performed with Shaboozey at the ACM Awards on May 8. The “Son of a Sinner” musician was nominated for three awards that night — entertainer of the year and album of the year, which both went to Lainey Wilson, as well as male artist of the year, which went to Chris Stapleton.
Bunnie has been Jelly’s go-to plus-one at award shows throughout his music career, but their romance dates back to long before he was ever famous. The two stars first met in 2015 before tying the knot the next year, and in recent months, they’ve both been open about wanting to expand their family through IVF. The pair also shares full custody of Jelly’s 17-year-old daughter from a past relationship, Bailee; the country star is also Dad to 8-year-old Noah from a different past relationship.
“We’re right in the middle of the journey,” Jelly told Access Hollywood at the ACMs of his and Bunnie’s IVF experience. “For all of our friends out there who have been supporting and praying for us that know the journey we are on, y’all know how hard it is. Thanks for praying for us. We’re still trying.”

Jelly Roll gave fans a heartfelt update on his efforts to have a baby with wife Bunnie Xo through IVF on Thursday night (May 8). “We’re right in the middle of the journey,” the country star told Access Hollywood on the red carpet for the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards. “For all of our […]
Tech N9ne shared on Bunnie XO‘s latest podcast episode that he had an inappropriate relationship with one of his middle school teachers when he was going on 13 years old.
The artist born Aaron Yates stopped by the Dumb Blonde podcast Monday (April 21) to talk about his legendary independent career and also took a moment to discuss his childhood. In particular, he focused on a relationship he had with a teacher — whom he did not name — that he said changed his life forever.
“It all started when I showed her a picture of my father as a cop,” the rapper said around the 35-minute mark. “After class, whenever everybody’s leaving out, I would be in there and she would say, ‘Aaron is soo cute’ … She was beautiful, and I was like, ‘Oh, thank you!’ But she used to do it every day, like, ‘Aaron is sooo cute.’”
He said things started to escalate from there, and he used to skip lunch to go and visit his teacher in her classroom.
“I was in love, until she got married,” Tech N9ne said, adding that they got caught kissing by a student walking by the classroom. He got called up to “courtroom class” as a result, which was code for “Ms. Glen’s room” upstairs, where students would get sent following bad behavior.
“Ms. Glen, she was a Black lady, she didn’t want no f—k s—t,” Tech recalled with a laugh. “She said, ‘Aaron, there’s a student in here … that says they walked by Ms. So-and-So’s room and saw both of you kissing … I said, ‘Huh? Why would I be kissing a grown-up?’ I was smart.”
He continued to deny the kiss, and both the seventh grade teacher and Tech got called to the office, where she also denied the allegations.
“I remember her pleading her case and being real serious,” Tech said, “and nothing happened … ’cause I didn’t tell.”
But the rapper did confirm to Bunnie, who is married to country music star Jelly Roll, that he was also having sex with her outside of school.
“She got married in my eighth grade year, and after that we didn’t talk anymore,” Tech concluded, before moving into a conversation about his love of horror films.

Most of the time, Jelly Roll has a happy wife, happy life. But when he does this one thing, Bunnie XO definitely isn’t having it.
While guesting on The Jennifer Hudson Show Friday (April 18) alongside American Idol judge Luke Bryan, the “Son of a Sinner” singer revealed that a certain bad habit of his drives his spouse crazy. “I feel bad for her,” Jelly began.
“I have this problem I do where I leave a trail of clothes from the front door to the shower,” he continued, laughing, as people in Hudson’s audience groaned. “Everybody’s like, ‘We hate you.’ I just heard women shake their fists at me. I know — I’ve been trying to break this habit, y’all! It annoys her to no end.”
The revelation is far from the first time Jelly and Bunnie have been open about the ins and outs of their relationship. The musician and podcaster are currently trying to expand their family through IVF treatments — a challenging process on which Bunnie in particular has been keeping fans updated — and in March, the Dumb Blonde podcast shared something about her husband that’s been driving her wild in a good way: his chest hair.

For the “Drunk on You” crooner’s part, he says wife Caroline Boyer can’t stand when he snores — much less when he leaves dirty spoons lying directly on tables in their home. Bryan — who’s a judge alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on this season of Idol, meanwhile Jelly is the show’s first-ever judge in residence — also joined the “Need a Favor” musician in confessing to Hudson their most embarrassing onstage moments.
“I pooped myself one time,” Jelly said frankly. “I did, I’m sorry. I was coughing, and it was all there … I’m so sorry, I just watched this crowd go from loving me to just completely out. I overshared again.”
For the record, Jelly isn’t the only star who’s done so. Joe Jonas has also shared that he once put a little more trust than he should have in what he thought was just gas passing through during a concert — and on Hudson’s talk show, Bryan joked, “My problem is I didn’t really get embarrassed by it when I did it,” sending Jelly into fits of laughter.

Tale as old as time, true as it can be. Like countless parents every spring, Jelly Roll got emotional as he sent his daughter, Bailee Ann, off to her very first prom, with the teenager looking gorgeous in a yellow dress mirroring Disney’s Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
In a sweet clip set to Cody Johnson’s nostalgia-ridden track “Dirt Cheap” that Bailee posted to TikTok over the weekend, the “Son of a Sinner” singer looks choked up as he walks toward the camera with a bouquet of roses. It then cuts to Jelly and his firstborn standing side by side as the musician flashes a huge smile before spinning Bailee around.
“my built in best friend,” Bailee wrote of her dad in the caption.

Jelly’s wife, podcaster Bunnie XO, also shared footage from the day, starting with Bailee’s getting-ready process. “You’re going to look like a little princess tonight!” Bunnie gushes as her stepdaughter — over whom she shares full custody with the country star — gets her hair done. “It’s your first prom, I’m so excited, oh my god.”
“I call her the Prom Pimp,” Jelly jokes right after. “That’s what I’m calling her: the Prom Pimp.”
Later, as Bailee and her friends take photos in their fancy outfits, Bunnie films her famous husband hugging a family friend with tears in his eyes. “Are you motherf–kers crying? You’re supposed to be the men of the family!” the Dumb Blonde host jokes as Jelly laughs. “What is happening?”
Bailee’s prom comes just a couple of weeks ahead of Jelly’s April 29 kickoff show in Salt Lake City with Post Malone on the Big Ass Stadium Tour. The trek follows the October release of the “Need a Favor” artist’s album, Beautifully Broken, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
But even with everything going on career-wise, Jelly — who is also Dad to a son named Noah — and Bunnie are currently in the process of trying to expand their family through IVF. The latter has been open about her journey with the treatments in recent months, telling listeners on a March podcast episode, “It’s very lonely … It’s just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval. And like, you’re the only person who can go through that, you know? So it’s a lot to bear.”
Jelly has also been open about how far he’s come as a parent to Bailee, telling Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett on the trio’s Smartless podcast in March that he had to fight for his chance to have a relationship with the now-teenager as he was incarcerated on drug charges at the time of her birth. “Her mother, at the time … rightfully so [because I was] a f–king criminal, wouldn’t let me see her,” the “Save Me” musician recalled.
“So I had to go to court,” he added at the time. “I had to get supervised visits through the courtroom … I just had to keep going to the court every six months and going, ‘Look, I’m continuing to prove I’m changing.’ Music, being famous, wasn’t even a thought then. I just wanted to be a good dad.”

Three 6 Mafia had been hit with Satanism allegations in the past and DJ Paul hopped on Bunnie XO‘s Dumb Blonde Podcast earlier this week to clear the air.
Paul explained that the satanic imagery was essentially “just an image” for the Memphis crew, and it started with DJ Infamous referring to the group as Triple 6 Mafia.

“Basically Lord Infamous said ‘Triple 6 Mafia’ in a song, that wasn’t even our group name,” he told Bunnie, who is married to country star Jelly Roll. “I liked that and I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s dope.’ And I started sampling ‘Triple 6 Mafia, Mafia.’ And that became really popular with us, but that still wasn’t our name.”
He continued: “I was just sampling that, and then it was time to form a group, I was like, ‘We should call ourselves Triple 6 Mafia.’ And everybody liked it … Next thing I know, white fans came like that [snaps fingers]. They flocked to us.”
DJ Paul downplayed the late Lord Infamous being involved with Satanism in any fashion when asked by Bunnie. “He was just high,” he quipped. “That n—a grew up singing ‘Amazing Grace’ in a church, and I was playing the organ … It was just an image. It was just something that was cool. We never studied Satan or nothing like that.”
Formed in the early ’90s by DJ Paul, Juicy J and Lord Infamous in Memphis, Three 6 Mafia went on to become one of the most influential rap groups in the genre’s history. The horrorcore crew saw stints from the late Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca as well as Crunchy Black.
Best known for hits such as Billboard Hot 100 top 15 anthem “Stay Fly,” “Poppin’ My Collar,” “Slob on My Knob” and many more, Three 6 Mafia became the first rap group to win an Oscar Award in 2006 for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” in Hustle + Flow, which took home best original song. The group’s last album arrived in 2008 with Last 2 Walk.

Bunnie XO is healing through trauma as she plans for motherhood.
The star, who is married to country singer Jelly Roll, sat down with a psychic medium on the Jan. 2 episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, revealing that despite going through a number of pregnancy losses, she’s now ready to become a parent — especially as she experienced being a stepmother to Jelly’s 15-year-old daughter, Bailee.
“I just feel like I’ve been healing so much trauma with my parents that I finally am ready to be a parent,” Bunnie said. “Like, I’ve helped raise Bailee since she was 7, and I think that also showed me that, hey, I’m not gonna f— up a kid’s life too badly.”

The podcaster also touched on some fertility “trauma” she’s gone through, including ectopic pregnancies, a sometimes life-threatening event in which a fertilized egg cannot survive because it grows outside the uterus.
“I have been pregnant three times in my life. When I was 16, I got pregnant the first time I had sex, and I ended that with an abortion because I was scared,” she shared. “I didn’t know what to do. I was a runaway. And then after that, three years after I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had two ectopic pregnancies.”
Bunnie previously opened up about her IVF journey on a July episode of her podcast. “I’m in my baby mama gardening era,” she joked, adding that Jelly said he would “love” to have a baby with her. “That was not the response that I thought he would say,” she admitted, noting that he’s “so excited” about the possibility of having children together.
“We were going to keep it from the Internet, because how the Internet is, they love to ruin beautiful things,” she recalled, before finding out that her husband broke the news during an appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. After the episode dropped, Bunnie XO also shared a snippet from the podcast on her social media, adding in the caption, “God willing–Baby DeFord 2026,” and revealing that the couple is undergoing IVF.
She added, “Papa Bear dropped a surprise on this pod today. We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open. And w/ all odds stacked against us, it’s already been hard and we have only just begun. We have been meeting with IVF doctors & exploring all our options to add to our family.”
Kristin Cavallari is dishing on her past romance with Morgan Wallen.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of Bunnie XO‘s Dumb Blonde podcast, released Sunday (Dec. 26) on TikTok, the 37-year-old actress revealed some spicy details about her brief relationship with the 31-year-old country music star.
“Morgan’s a good guy. He has a big heart, he really does,” Cavallari says in the two-minute clip, following some gentle prodding from host Bunnie.

The Hills alum then agrees with Bunnie’s description of Wallen as a “playa from the Himalayas.” The host adds, “The amount of women that have sat on my couch who have been with Morgan Wallen is crazy.”
While Cavallari had seemingly confirmed her romance with Wallen earlier this year in a video on social media, she went on to share details about her first time going out with Wallen.

“The first date that we went on, he was a true gentlemen,” the Very Cavallari star says. “He was like, ‘I’ll pick you up, I’ll pick the place.’ Like, just f—ing handled business. He came and picked me up, he met my kids. My kids were so excited, it was so cute.”
Cavallari shares three children — Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9 — with her ex-husband, former NFL star Jay Cutler.
“He got us a private room, you know he had like his bodyguard and whatnot, dropped me off, kissed me in the rain, and it was like the sweetest thing,” Cavallari continues.
In mid-November, Cavallari appeared to confirm her relationship with Wallen during a viral trend with her best friend, Justin Anderson. The trend had loved ones reveal truths about one another, and in the clip, Cavallari is seen jogging as Anderson, speaking off-camera, says, “Suspect let Morgan Wallen hurt her feelings, and she kept going back.” Cavallari bursts into laughter and covers her mouth, reacting to the playful remark.
In the Dumb Blonde teaser, Cavallari says she and Wallen “hung out thereafter” following the first date and admits he didn’t hurt her feelings as much as he damaged her ego.
“Morgan was the first guy in my entire f—ing life that wasn’t just completely enamored with me. I was like, ‘What in the f— is going on?’ It really threw me,” Cavallari says. “I love having the upper hand, and I felt like with him, I didn’t have the upper hand. It was the only time in my life, so it really f—ed with me.”
She also reveals she wasn’t looking for anything serious at the time. “I was like, I kinda just want a f— buddy in Nashville,” Cavallari says. “He’s a great f— buddy.”
At the end of the clip, Bunnie jokes that Wallen might be reaching out to her husband, country music star Jelly Roll, with a request to never discuss him on the podcast again.
