Bunnie Xo is dating a 24-year-old, and she’s not apologizing for it. The podcast host and author, 46, made things public with Dylan Wolf, the“Calabasas Cowboy”from Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential, earlier this summer. The two were first spotted together over Fourth of July weekend in Nashville, and since then they’ve been showing up at rodeos and all over each other’s social media feeds. But it was a simple Waffle House date video that sent the comment section into overdrive, with trolls cracking curfew jokes and doing some very loud age math.
Bunnie didn’t ignore it. In her TikTok comments, she wrote,“Hey guys, I’m having fun&he gave me my smile back.”She followed it up with,“Ya girl is living her best life — let meeeee k thanks byeeeee.”It’s a pretty direct response to anyone who thought she needed their opinion. Meanwhile, her divorce from Jelly Roll was finalized in July after eight years of marriage, with a lump sum settlement and no alimony, following his quiet filing back in May.
The whole situation is sparking a bigger conversation about double standards. Older men date younger women all the time and it barely gets a headline. Flip the genders and suddenly everyone’s got thoughts. Regardless of where you land, Bunnie seems to be enjoying her new chapter, and the internet is definitely not done watching. So we want to know: do you think the reaction would be different if the roles were reversed? Drop your take in the comments.
