Bunnie Xo has spoken openly about the emotional impact of infidelity following the end of her marriage to country star Jelly Roll, saying the betrayal has left lasting scars.
During a recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie agreed with guest Denise Richards' decision never to remarry, before opening up about how an affair affected her outlook on relationships.
Reflecting on her experience, she said: "When I had gone through a situation with an affair, I think it's not the act that hurts you: it's the lies."
She continued: "There's no way to feel good about that. Betrayal trauma literally rewires your brain to not trust people, to just feel disgusting because you're the last to know."
Bunnie added: "Nobody ever wants to be the f**king last to know and when you are, it's a different kind of hate."
Jelly Roll previously admitted he had been unfaithful early in their marriage during an appearance on the Human School Podcast in October 2025.
Calling it "one of the worst moments of my adulthood," the singer said: "I wish our story would have went in the way that it never had an affair. And I'm in no way glad it happened, but man, I'm proud of who we are today."
The couple filed for divorce in May, although news of the split did not become public until the following month.
Initial reports suggested the separation had been mutual, but Bunnie later disputed that version of events on her podcast, claiming that it was her ex-husband who pushed for the divorce.
Recalling an argument that took place on Mother's Day, she explained: "On Mother's Day we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary."
She said the disagreement reached a breaking point, adding: "I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, 'Well, then file the f**king divorce papers.'"
Bunnie acknowledged that mentioning divorce had always been off-limits in their relationship.
"And in our relationship that is the one cardinal thing that you don't say," she said, before adding: "Even though my husband has said it numerous times 'cause he's the runner."
According to Bunnie, she left their home for around a week following the argument.
She claimed Jelly Roll then followed through with her heated comment.
"During that, he was so mad and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do and filing the divorce papers," she explained.
Bunnie also rejected claims that the separation had been a joint decision.
"Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual," she said. "Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration."

After country music star Jelly Roll, 41, filed for divorce from his wife, influencer and podcast host Bunnie Xo, 46, he has stayed silent until now.
He has finally spoken out about their relationship and even claimed that “nobody cheated on nobody.”
The couple, with a combined 8.3 million followers on Instagram, had been married for almost ten years and renewed their vows just three years ago.
Although the singer paid tribute to his wife on stage at the Grammys earlier this year, saying that without her, he “would have ended up dead or in jail”, Jelly Roll has filed for divorce months later.
On Thursday evening, he told the audience at his show at Saratoga Springs, New York: “This is the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now.”
Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, even claimed: “Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends,” and declared that Bunnie will “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her.”
Despite TMZ reporting that the separation was a "mutual decision by the two and a private family matter", the pair have previously been open about their up-and-down relationship.
The documents filed for the divorce cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending their marriage.
Offering an olive branch to his estranged wife, the 'Wild Ones' singer endorsed an episode of Bunnie’s Dumb Blonde podcast, during which she discussed the couple’s divorce.
Prompting fans to listen to the episode, Jelly Roll said: “Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever. This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby.”
The podcast host, real name Alisa De Ford, made a bombshell revelation in the most recent episode: Jelly Roll is allegedly already dating again.
She revealed: "J is a little lover, and he, you know, he likes to snuggle, and he likes to cuddle.”
The model even encouraged other women to contact her soon-to-be ex-husband, saying: "Don't be scared. Shoot your motherf**king shot.
"I will be the ex-wife, okay? And we'll have a great time."
However, she did also admit that she is not ready to do the same. Bunnie confessed: “The crazy thing is, I'm not even ready to hook up with a dude. I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself."
Jelly Roll has addressed cheating rumors and "liar" accusations as he speaks out on Bunnie Xo's divorce.
The country star, 41, broke his silence during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, days after news emerged that he had filed for divorce from the podcast host and influencer.
Addressing the crowd, the singer made it clear he wanted to shut down speculation surrounding the split.
"While we're talking about liars, the internet is a liar too," he told the audience.
"This is the only time and the only city I'm gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now."
The 'Save Me' musician, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, went on to defend both himself and his ex-wife amid online rumors.
He claimed that "nobody cheated on nobody," and stressed: "Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends."
He added that Bunnie will "probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her."
Jelly Roll also used the moment to encourage fans to listen to a recent episode of Bunnie's Dumb Blonde podcast, where she discussed the end of their marriage.
"Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever," he continued.
"This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby."
The comments came after divorce documents filed in Tennessee cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending the marriage.
While shutting down rumors about the cause of the split, Bunnie recently surprised fans by revealing that Jelly Roll has already returned to the dating scene.
Speaking on her podcast, she described her ex as someone who enjoys companionship.
"J is a little lover, and he, you know, he likes to snuggle, and he likes to cuddle," she said.
She even encouraged interested women to make the first move. "Don't be scared. Shoot your motherf**king shot," she said. "I will be the ex-wife, okay? And we'll have a great time."
However, she made it clear she is not in the same place emotionally.
"The crazy thing is, I'm not even ready to hook up with a dude. I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself," she explained.
The 46-year-old also recently addressed speculation surrounding her own love life after fans suggested she had moved on with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
The rumors began after she posted a TikTok video singing along to the band's hit song 'How You Remind Me'.
"Does this mean the rumors about Chad Kroeger are correct?" one fan asked. Another wrote: "So is she with Chad Kroeger now??"
A third added: "Ran here to see if the Chad Kroeger rumours was true, & it took me here."
The podcast host explained there wasn't an ounce of truth to the rumors and that she is simply a longtime Nickelback fan.
She also addressed rumors that Jelly Roll was romantically involved with his 'Wild Ones' collaborator Jessie Murph, calling that rumor "disgusting" because Murph is 20 years younger than him.
Despite ending their marriage, Bunnie has revealed that she and Jelly Roll are still committed to having a child together following a difficult IVF journey.
She previously shared that Jelly Roll "has been so great about us still having a baby together" and that "he wants the same thing."
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she added.
Since country music star Jelly Roll, 41, announced his divorce from his wife, influencer and podcast host Bunnie Xo, 46, he has stayed fairly silent until announcing a bombshell “plot-twist”.
The couple, with a combined 8.3 million followers on Instagram, had been married for almost ten years and renewed their vows just three years ago.
In a video released on his YouTube channel called “The Divorce Vlog," Jelly Roll showed behind-the-scenes clips of life on the road with his and Post Malone’s Big A** Stadium Tour, as well as promising “piping hot tea” about his sudden breakup was about to be announced.
Towards the end of the video, he called Bunnie, who joined over the phone to remind his fans to tune into her podcast, Dumb Blonde, if they want the full story.
The former couple laughed at the camera while Jelly Roll said: “Yeah, ya’ll thought we were gonna hate each other.”
Bunnie then swiftly chimed in with: “Plot twist b***hes.”
In an unusual move from a couple going through a divorce, they signed off their call by telling each other that they loved each other. Jelly Roll initiated the niceties by saying: “Love you, baby,” to which she responded: “Love you, bye.”
During his show last week, Jelly Roll publicly declared his love for his partner of over a decade. He told the audience at his show at Saratoga Springs, New York: “This is the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now.”
Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, even claimed: “Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends,” and declared that Bunnie will “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her.”
Despite TMZ reporting that the separation was a "mutual decision by the two and a private family matter", the pair have previously been open about their up-and-down relationship.
The documents filed for the divorce cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending their marriage.
Jelly Roll had previously admitted to a historical affair, though the couple had worked through it at the time and remained together for several more years.
In response to a fan asking why she did not end the marriage over the adultery, she said: "It actually takes a stronger woman to face pain head-on, do the work, and rebuild with the man she loves — instead of running or gossiping."
Model and podcaster Bunnie Xo, 46, who has been caught up in one of the most talked-about divorce cases of the year, has been publicly shamed by another ex-husband who claims she “destroyed his life”.
Despite Bunnie’s marriage of ten years to country singer Jelly Roll, making endless headlines over the last month, the couple claims that they are still “best of friends”.
Although the high-end escort is ending her current marriage “on the best possible terms”, the same certainly cannot be said for her previous marriage to Francisco 'Frankie' Lombardo.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, music producer Lombardo revealed that he was jealous of Bunnie’s multiple sugar daddies, and it “destroyed” him when she left him for another man after four years together.
The 46-year-old said, “Bunnie was the only girl that broke my heart.
“She left me for another man and... [it] f*****g destroyed my life in a sense. And she got with some dude [who she dated before Jelly Roll] who beat her up, which was a f*****g nightmare.”
The pair met when Bunnie was married to Christopher Gilbert, and their relationship moved extremely quickly. A week after meeting her for a drink with Gilbert, Lombardo moved in with the model.
Despite rumors at the time, the couple claimed that Bunnie had not cheated, and her relationship was over by the time he moved in with her.
Then, just five months later, the new couple got married in Hawaii on Valentine’s Day 2010.
Lombardo spoke fondly about the beginning of their marriage, saying, “It was good. I really loved her, and I think that we were definitely extremely close," he recalled. "We're f*****g best friends... She was a good wife.”
Eventually, Bunnie's rather promiscuous lifestyle and career choices began to bother Lombardo, making him “very jealous”.
In particular, it was the contact she maintained with her “sugar daddies” that annoyed her then-husband the most.
Describing the moment Bunnie told him about her use of pay pigs, Lombardo said, “When I met her, she said to me right out of the gate, ‘I just want to let you know that I have a couple sugar daddies.’
“And I was like, "What the f**k does that mean?" I didn't want to know, but she had a couple sugar daddies who would send her money. She never saw them. They lived out of state.”
He admitted that he was “super jealous” of the men who sent his wife money because, as he explained, “I wanted her all to myself”.
The former escort has not tried to hide her relationship with sugar daddies and has been more than open about how they showered her with cars and diamonds. According to the former sex worker, she still had sugar daddies and saw clients when she first started dating Jelly Roll.
Bunnie Xo has revealed a surprising new move in the wake of her split from husband Jelly Roll after 10 years of marriage.
As previously reported, Jelly Roll, 41, filed for divorce from Bunnie, 46, in May after nearly a decade of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences".
The podcaster revealed that an argument on Mother's Day led to the end of their marriage, explaining: "On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary.
"And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.'"
According to Bunnie, Jelly Roll followed through and filed the paperwork shortly afterward.
The former couple first met in 2015 and married in Las Vegas the following year after the singer proposed on stage.
Although they briefly separated in 2018, they later reconciled and renewed their vows in 2023.
Now, Bunnie has revealed her plans for life as a single woman - and it involves going back to school.
The Dumb Blonde podcast host, whose real name is Alisa Carter, took to Instagram to reveal that she has been accepted into Arizona State University.
She shared a post of ASU's welcome message for her, joking: "Dr. Xo, loading?", while Kings of Leon’s song 'Sex on Fire' played alongside it.
Despite her and Jelly Roll splitting up, Bunnie revealed that she and the country star are still planning to have a baby together.
She explained: "[He] has been so great about us still having a baby together," adding that "he wants the same thing" despite their marriage ending.
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she told listeners of her podcast.
While discussing the breakdown of their relationship, Bunnie reflected on their difficult fertility journey.
"In the last two years, when we decided to have a baby, I had to do IVF," she said. "My hat goes off to any woman, family, couple who is going through IVF because, let me tell you something, dude, that is one of the loneliest, darkest journeys you will be on."
She continued: "Yes, everybody gets to see the reward at the end, but it is not all bells and whistles. It is not a beautiful journey. It completely wrecked me."
According to Bunnie, both she and Jelly Roll were taking hormones during the process, while the 'Save Me' singer was also dealing with a low sperm count, creating what she described as a chaotic situation.
The couple endured several painful setbacks during treatment. Bunnie disclosed that across three embryo transfers, they lost four embryos.
"The two twins that we were going to try to have, and then we lost the other two," she explained. "And anybody that's going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it's gut-wrenching. It is so heartbreaking."
She admitted the losses left her questioning why the process had been so difficult.
"You get so mad at God, because you're like, 'Why is it so easy for people who don't deserve children to just be able to just pop them out?'" she recalled thinking, adding that she and Jelly Roll are "two people that really want a baby together."
The podcast host said the "roadblocks" in their relationship had taken "a toll" on them, but she feels the pair are "trauma bonded at this point".
