Bunnie Xo is finding humor in the aftermath of her split from Jelly Roll — and she thinks her latest quip might result in a call from her ex husband.

During a recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 46-year-old joked that her decade-long marriage to the rapper and country star felt like serving prison time.

The conversation began when Bunnie (real name Alisa DeFord) shared some of DMs she's received from men following the couple's separation. She said she's only replied to two, but one message from an incarcerated man caught her attention.

"Hey pretty lady, I'm about to get out of prison on a 10-year bid next year," the message began. "Please let me go out and have a time with you. That's all I ask. I promise it will be worth it."

Bunnie laughed off the prison sentence itself but took issue with another part of the message.

"So listen. I don't mind that the dude's in prison," she joked, before her co-host pointed out the wording. Bunnie then added: "What I don't like is he said, 'Let me go out and have a time with you.'"

She interpreted the message as an expectation of intimacy on a first date. "So you're just expecting me to put out on this first date," she said.

The conversation quickly turned into a running joke when one of her co-hosts quipped that after spending 10 years in prison, the man might be eager to make up for lost time.

"I mean, same," Bunnie replied, laughing. "I just got out of a 10-year bid too, bitches. What are we talking about?"

The studio erupted in laughter before Bunnie quickly clarified she wasn't being serious. "I'm gonna get a phone call," she joked before adding that she was "just cutting the rug."

The lighthearted comments come just weeks after Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee. Court records show the filing was made on May 18, with the couple's date of separation listed as May 9.

The petition cited irreconcilable differences. The split surprised many fans, as the pair had long been open about their relationship and frequently celebrated one another publicly.

Despite the divorce, sources close to the former couple have suggested there's no animosity between them. Another source noted that the two helped each other through difficult periods long before either found widespread fame, with Bunnie supporting Jelly Roll during his rise in music and the singer standing by her through challenges of her own.
