Bunnie Xo and her younger boyfriend Dylan Wolf put on a passionate display at a Los Angeles sports bar Sunday, just days after Wolf publicly defended their 22-year age gap.
The “Dumb Blonde” podcast host, 46, and the “Calabasas Confidential” star, 24, were photographed “making out like crazy” at The Barrel in Los Angeles, according to an eyewitness account. The couple was described as “increasingly affectionate” throughout their evening out.
The same source identified Wolf as the “aggressor” in the exchange, noting that he initiated the PDA while Bunnie — born Alisa Andrea DeFord — was “happy to go along with it.” Despite the intensity of their physical connection, the duo “rarely talked” and appeared “very comfortable” together.
This marked the second public sighting of the couple this month. They were previously spotted holding hands and kissing at The Crabby Crab in Sherman Oaks, California, on Oct. 1.
Bunnie was first romantically linked to Wolf in July following her quiet separation from ex-husband Jelly Roll in May. The pair had been married for nearly a decade. Her initial public moment with Wolf came on July 4, when she was seen kissing him at Goodnight Nashville — the bar owned by her ex, born Jason Bradley DeFord, in Nashville, Tennessee.
Following that holiday outing, Bunnie addressed her listeners directly on her podcast to clarify that Jelly Roll was aware of the makeout session and raised no objection.
“I also feel very safe there,” she said. “I also feel protected there. That’s our home. If I’m gonna land at any bar, I’m gonna do it at Goodnight Nashville.”
“I had fun,” she continued. “I am healing out loud. So what I had fun under the fireworks? I hope I get kissed under 10 more fireworks.”
By September, Bunnie took to social media to push back against criticism of the age difference. Under a video of the couple eating at Waffle House, she wrote: “Hey guys, I’m having fun & he gave me my smile back. Ya girl is living her best life — let meeeee k thanks byeeeee.”
Wolf himself entered the conversation last Thursday, saying that their bond was genuine and unforced.
“You know, having the time of my life with an amazing person, and I’m just happy that I’m here and get to be here,” the reality star said. “I’m happy in this chapter of my life, and I hope it doesn’t change anytime soon.”
While Bunnie has moved forward publicly, Jelly Roll has not been linked to anyone since the split. However, Bunnie informed her podcast audience in June that he had already begun dating.
The Nashville music scene that once united Bunnie and Jelly Roll now serves as backdrop to her new relationship. Her July 4 appearance at Goodnight Nashville with Wolf came mere weeks after the separation became known, placing her new romance in the same physical spaces she had long shared with her former husband.
The couple’s October appearances in Los Angeles suggest a continued West Coast presence for Wolf, whose reality series “Calabasas Confidential” ties him to Southern California. Bunnie’s podcast, launched during her marriage to Jelly Roll, has become the primary platform where she narrates her personal transitions directly to fans.
Neither Bunnie nor Wolf have indicated any plans to slow their public appearances together.
Jelly Roll continues his touring schedule and has not publicly addressed his ex-wife’s new relationship beyond Bunnie’s own account of his awareness.
Bunnie and Wolf’s romance follows her nearly ten-year marriage to Jelly Roll, which ended in May after the couple had become fixtures in Nashville’s entertainment circles. The podcast host has framed her current relationship as part of an open healing process, repeatedly emphasizing her right to move forward without secrecy.
Wolf’s defense of the relationship to the outlet marked his first extended comments to a mainstream outlet, shifting the narrative from Bunnie’s solo social media responses to a mutual stance.
The Barrel eyewitness noted the couple’s wordless intensity, a detail that underscores the performative aspect of their public outings as they navigate scrutiny.
Bunnie continues releasing new “Dumb Blonde” episodes weekly.
