Bunnie Xo is setting the record straight after rumors spread like wildfire that she had started dating Chad Kroeger.
Speaking on the Thursday, June 18, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Bunnie, 46, shot down the romance speculation that emerged after news broke that she and Jelly Roll, 41, had split.
Bunnie explained that she had not been posting new content on her social media for a period of time while she was in her healing era but had shared a throwback clip that featured the Nickelback singer.
“The news drops, I have f**king Nickelback on my page,” Bunnie said. She noted that she was unaware of when the break up news would be made public and insisted it was just a case of poor timing.
Bunnie said that the footage was recorded at one of Jelly Roll’s shows in Las Vegas in 2025 and explained that she nicknamed Kroeger “Daddy Chaddy” as “a joke.”
“I am not with Daddy Chaddy. There’s no f**king way in hell that that would even be a thing. And no, I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad, and like, none of that. Like, please,” she said.
Bunnie added that despite the rumors about her and Kroeger’s relationship status taking on a life of their own, the narrative is inaccurate.
“This is so wrong. I am not dating Chad Kroger. I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. It’s embarrassing,” she said.
Bunnie added, “God, it’s just so f***ed up that the internet can just run with a narrative and people just f***ing run with it.”
She concluded, “So there is no Chad and Bunnie Xo.”
After the episode dropped, Jelly Roll took to stage on the Saratoga Springs, New York leg on his tour to confirm there was no infidelity on Bunnie’s part.
“Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth,” he told the crowd, describing the internet as “liars.”
Earlier this week, Us Weekly confirmed that Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie back in May.
According to court documents obtained by Us, the country singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, adding that the “parties are unable to live together successfully as Husband and Wife” any longer.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie tied the knot in August 2016. While Bunnie revealed in 2024 that she went through fertility treatments, the pair welcomed no children together. Jelly Roll, for his part, is a father of two. The Grammy nominee shares daughter Bailee with ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith and son Noah Buddy, 9, with ex Melisa Ann Cowell. (During their marriage, Jelly Roll and Bunnie had primary custody of Bailee when she was a minor.)
