Bunnie Xo is coming clean about rumors going around she’s dating Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger.
The podcaster, 46, sparked chatter on Monday when, just hours before news broke that her husband, Jelly Roll, had filed for divorce, she shared a TikTok video of herself singing along to Nickelback’s 2001 bitter breakup hit, “How You Remind Me.”
Bunnie (born Alisa DeFord) additionally shared a steamy photo of herself wearing pink satin lingerie at the same time.
“She’s getting her sparkle back ✨,” she wrote atop the photo.
Fan speculation immediately brewed wondering if Bunnie had moved on to Kroeger. Further fueling the gossip was an Instagram video she posted in late May hugging the Nickelback frontman, writing atop it, “The moment I finally got to be back in his arms,” and captioning it “Swoon.”
Bunnie spoke out on Thursday on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, addressing the rumors: “I posted a Nickelback song because Nickelback is one of my favorite bands,” she stated.
“I post this Nickelback song not thinking anything of it, not a shot at [Jelly]. Not even realizing it’s a breakup song,” she added. “it [was] trending on TikTok, so I was like ‘oh f–k yeah, Nickleback’s trending on TikTok, I’m gonna do a TikTok to that.”

She further explained that she was just “feeling good” at the moment, and therefore also decided to post the sexy photo of herself in lingerie at the same time.
And then, “The [divorce] news drops, and I have f–king Nickelback on my page.”
Bunnie stressed that she has “so much respect” for Kroeger, who has sang on stage with Jelly Roll before, and his band. “They’re the sweetest humans ever. I would never want to disrespect them.”
“I get where people are trying to put puzzle pieces together,” she said. “But you’re putting together a puzzle with missing pieces.”
“I am not with ‘Daddy Chaddy,’” she joked. “There is no way in hell.”
Kroeger, 51, was married to fellow musician Avril Lavigne from 2013 to 2015.
