Bunnie Xo is once again proving that transparency is her trademark. During a powerful and unfiltered appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the bestselling author and podcast host opened up about one of the most painful chapters of her marriage to Grammy-winning country star Jelly Roll - his nearly yearlong affair - and why she ultimately chose forgiveness.
Speaking while promoting her new memoir, Bunnie recounted the emotional devastation she experienced upon discovering the betrayal, but she also revealed the surprising peace that followed her decision to give her husband a second chance.
"I gave it to him, and it is the best decision I've ever made," Bunnie told host Kelly Clarkson. "Will he get a third? Absolutely f-ing not," she added, drawing laughter and applause from the live studio audience.
Bunnie made it clear that forgiveness did not come easily. The couple endured intense conversations, rebuilding of trust, and personal accountability before moving forward. Rather than gloss over the pain, she leaned into it - choosing growth over bitterness. She explained that her choice was shaped by reflection on her own life journey. Having received grace during her own seasons of struggle, she felt compelled to extend that same opportunity for redemption.
The result, she said, was a stronger and more honest marriage.
The couple, known for their authenticity about addiction recovery, faith, and second chances, have built a fan base drawn to their willingness to share both victories and vulnerabilities. Bunnie's remarks offered a rare look at how public figures navigate private heartbreak while maintaining careers in the spotlight.
Her memoir expands on these themes, chronicling her path from hardship to healing, and emphasizing resilience, boundaries, and personal responsibility.
The interview sparked broader dialogue around forgiveness, accountability, and whether high-profile relationships can survive betrayal. Bunnie's blunt humor, emotional depth, and refusal to sugarcoat reality resonated with viewers who are hungry for honest conversations about love and restoration.
As the segment continues circulating online, one message stands out: grace may open the door - but boundaries keep it healthy.
