Jelly Roll’s ex-wife is moving on with a new boyfriend nearly half her age.

On Sunday, Bunnie Xo, 46, posted a video on Instagram where she laughs and smiles as a young man, identified as Dylan Wolf, feeds her pancakes. The two were accompanied by Bunnie’s close friends.

Wolf, a 24-year-old reality star who appears in Netflix’s unscripted series Calabasas Confidential, is 22 years younger than the Dumb Blonde Podcast host.

The flirtatious video comes just four months after Jelly, whose real name is Jason DeFord, 41, ended things with Bunnie. He filed for divorce on May 18 after nearly a decade of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

On the video, Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, wrote, “[Point of view]: It’s his first time at Waffle House.”

She captioned the post, “Scattered & Chunked pls 💫,” which means an order of plain hash browns topped with ham at the chain restaurant.

Many commenters quickly weighed in on the unlikely pair, calling Bunnie a “cougar” and “Mrs. Robinson.”

“I didn’t know that she had a son,” one person snarked. Another wrote, “Girl is this your man? He looks 21.”

Some commented that Wolf is “a baby” and questioned whether he had to order off the kids’ menu.

“If it’s his first time at Waffle House, he’s too young for you sis,” one fan wrote with four crying laughing emojis. “Small joke. Lol.”

“Hey nobody says a thing when all these men date much much younger women, so zip it when it comes to the reverse situation. Let Bunnie live her life,” one person wrote. Another added, “I mean if Cher and Madonna can do it... why not?”

Cher, 80, is dating Alexander “AE” Edwards, 40. Madonna, 68, has been in a relationship with Akeem Morris, 30, since 2024.

Commenters compared Bunnie Xo to Madonna and Cher, both of whom have partners more than 30 years their junior.
