Bunnie XO Responds to Claims She’s ‘Jealous’ of Jelly Roll’s Friendship With Lainey Wilson
Bunnie XO, who hosts her Dumb Blonde podcast and is married to singer-songwriter Jelly Roll, isn’t putting up with online rumors.
On her Instagram Stories Monday (Nov. 27), Bunnie XO responded to a Radar Online article that suggested she was “jealous” of Jelly Roll’s friendship with his BBR Music Group labelmate and fellow CMA Award winner Lainey Wilson.
Bunnie shared a series of videos of herself meeting Wilson backstage, including at this year’s CMA Awards.
“When you meet Lainey Wilson and fall in love,” Bunnie XO’s caption read in part. She wrote on a second video in her Stories, “It’s actually me that wants Lainey, so do better research. LMAO.”
The clip also contained the caption, “Wanna kno the type of woman Lainey Wilson is .. she’s the min your husband wins his first cma award she’s there to hug & cheer you on.”
Jelly Roll won his first CMA Award, for new artist of the year, on Nov. 8, while Wilson picked up multiple trophies, including female vocalist of the year and the entertainer of the year. The two also currently have a No. 2 Billboard Country Airplay hit with their collaboration “Save Me.” The song is included on Jelly Roll’s 2023 album Whitsitt Chapel. Wilson and Jelly Roll also performed the song together during the Academy of Country Music Awards earlier this year, while Jelly Roll also made a surprise appearance to collaborate with Wilson on the song during her recent Nashville show opening for HARDY in October.
Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll have been married for seven years, and earlier this year, they renewed their wedding vows in a Las Vegas ceremony.
