Bunnie Xo revealed the physical toll heartbreak has taken on her as she navigates her divorce from Jelly Roll.
“There were moments where my team had to pick me up off the floor and get me IVs because I wasn’t eating,” Bunnie said during an appearance on “Open Book with Jenna Bush Hager.”
“I was eating baby food to get by, you know,” she revealed. “I lost 20 pounds because of heartbreak.'”
JELLY ROLL FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM WIFE BUNNIE XO AFTER ALMOST A DECADE OF MARRIAGE
Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo May 18, but the “Son of a Sinner” singer listed the date of separation as May 9. The two first met in 2015 after the former sex worker met the rising star at a concert in Las Vegas, and they eloped a year later.
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll were married nearly 10 years before their divorce was finalized in July.
Shortly after announcing the divorce, Bunnie Xo used her podcast to share the intimate details of the split. She later deleted it from YouTube.

“Oh, everybody loves to watch a train wreck. So, I mean, yeah, I was not going to participate in that circus,” she told Hager. “I am my own person. I stand on my own two feet, even alongside my ex-husband.
“I was still my own entity and had my own brand aside from him,” she added. “So, yeah, I don’t see why I couldn’t continue to stand on my own two feet and not have to dwell in that space of emotion.”
As Bunnie picks up the pieces after the end of her nearly decade-long marriage, she said she’s entered a new chapter focused on putting herself first without feeling guilty about it.

“It’s just pouring back into yourself,” she explained. “It’s being selfish. It’s OK to be selfish. We as women feel like we need permission to be selfish, and we don’t. Tell your kids to go to bed and eat the freaking brownies without them, you know? Even if it’s something as small as that, we deserve to be selfish.
“We deserve to have our own time, and we deserve to pour into each other,” Bunnie added. “I’m having so much fun.”

And while Bunnie has been enjoying her newfound freedom, she insists her post-divorce adventures haven’t been nearly as scandalous as some might assume from what they see online.
“I mean, it’s been — you know, it’s so funny — people probably think I’m out here doing, like, ho activities, and I’m not,” she claimed. “I swear to God. Literally, we’re at home playing — what’s it called? — Cards Against Humanity. … We’re swimming, we’re working out. You guys see only what I put on social media.”

In early July, Bunnie was spotted with a new, younger man. In video obtained by TMZ, Bunnie Xo kissed 24-year-old reality star Dylan Wolf in Nashville at Jelly Roll’s bar.
She clarified that not everyone she’s seen out with is a romantic partner.
“I’m like, ‘Can your girl have some fun?’ I’m going, ‘You guys are going to see me with multiple men, maybe even a couple women,” Bunnie joked. “You never know. Maybe even a freaking camel.”
