As speculation continues to swirl following the divorce of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo, Bunnie is setting the record straight about one rumor in particular.
After fans began linking her to Chad Kroeger, the Dumb Blonde Podcast host addressed the speculation directly and made it clear that there is absolutely no romantic relationship between them.
The rumors started when Bunnie shared a video of herself singing along to a Nickelback song around the same time news of her divorce became public. Internet detectives quickly connected that post to an older backstage video showing Bunnie hugging Kroeger, leading some fans to assume there was more to the story.
According to Bunnie, there wasn’t.

She explained that the backstage clip was actually recorded at one of Jelly Roll’s concerts in 2025 when Kroeger joined him on stage. The video had been reposted simply because she had been largely absent from social media and wanted to keep her accounts active while taking time to heal privately.
Bunnie also clarified that posting a Nickelback song on the day the divorce news broke was nothing more than unfortunate timing. A longtime fan of the band, she said she chose the song because it was trending online and never considered how people might interpret it.
As social media users began building theories around the posts, Bunnie said people were trying to put together a puzzle without having all the pieces.
“I am not dating Chad Kroeger,” she stated, firmly rejecting the rumors. She also emphasized that she never cheated on Jelly Roll and expressed sympathy for Kroeger and Nickelback for being pulled into the speculation.
While addressing her personal life, Bunnie revealed that she’s not looking to jump into another serious relationship anytime soon.
“Your girl is not going to ever be in another relationship,” she joked. “I’m about to be a playa.”
The comment was delivered with humor, but it underscored her larger message: right now, she’s focused on herself rather than romance.
As online rumors continue to spread, Bunnie’s response serves as a reminder that social media snapshots rarely tell the full story. Sometimes a hug is just a hug, a song is just a song, and a Nickelback fan is simply a Nickelback fan.
One thing is certain: Bunnie Xo wants everyone to know that Chad Kroeger is not her new boyfriend—and the internet got this one wrong. 🎙️🎶🤘
