Bunnie Xo has officially graced the pages of Playboy. On Tuesday, April 14, the iconic publication unveiled a striking new photoshoot alongside an intimate Q&A session, where the personality opened up about everything from navigating family dynamics with husband Jelly Roll’s daughter to the complexities of intimacy during significant lifestyle transformations.
Stepping into the role of a Playboy guest advisor, the podcaster fielded questions from readers seeking her candid perspective. When one subscriber reached out for advice on how to build a deeper bond with his girlfriend’s children, Bunnie—who co-parents Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee—offered seasoned wisdom.
“My primary strategy for cultivating a relationship with my bonus daughter—let’s steer clear of the term ‘step’—is to give them the space to come to you,” she advised. “Avoid forcing your affections or opinions on them. The goal is to act as a steady, reliable presence in their life, allowing them to gravitate toward you naturally.”
Jelly Roll has frequently lauded Bunnie’s profound impact on their family life. In a 2023 conversation with Billboard, the country star credited her with providing the stability he needed to secure custody of his daughter, emphasizing that her support was a cornerstone of his personal and parental success.
The conversation later shifted to a more personal inquiry regarding intimacy while undergoing weight-loss treatments. Drawing from her husband’s high-profile wellness journey—which saw him shed 275 pounds—Bunnie addressed the reader’s concerns with empathy. She noted that drastic physical changes and medication can significantly affect hormones and libido, framing these challenges as a temporary adjustment phase rather than a permanent state.
Beyond family and health, the interview touched on her personal philosophies regarding dating, career transitions in the adult industry, and the red flags of digital transparency. Whether discussing the importance of relationship clarity or her ongoing commitment to authenticity on her own podcast, Bunnie continues to advocate for open, honest communication.
Fans eager for more insight can look to her recent memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, which debuted earlier this year. She remains a constant source of transparency, frequently inviting her audience into the highs and lows of her life, including her shared experiences with Jelly Roll and their journey through IVF.
