Bunnie XO has defended her romance with her new boyfriend, who is 22 years younger than her, crediting him for giving her “smile back”.

The podcast host first sparked romance rumours with 24-year-old Dylan Wolf, the star of reality show Calabasas Confidential, back in July, when they were photographed kissing.

In her latest video on Instagram, Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, confirmed the relationship, as she showed Dylan feeding her, writing: “POV: It’s his first time at Waffle House”.

The comments section was quickly flooded with people slamming Bunnie, who reached a divorce settlement from ex-husband Jelly Roll in July, for dating someone “so young”.

One wrote: “He’s too young for you sis!”

Another added: “How old is this dude? 24? Yikes.”

As a third said: “It’s cougar season.”

While someone else wrote sarcastically: “Mama’s feeding him breakfast before he catches his school bus.”

And another said: “Lol he looks like he could be your son.”

Bunnie then hit back at those criticising her for the age gap romance, as 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.”

There were also those who defended Bunnie, with one writing: “Nobody says a thing when all these men date much much younger women, so zip it when it comes to the reverse situation. Let Bunnie live her life!”

Another added: “I would actually like to know when the appropriate age is because last I remembered he is over 18 he can vote pay taxes join the services to protect this country.

“Oh yeah and over 21 he can drink smoke buy a gun roll up 1 buuuuut yet he's not old enough to date her hmmmmmn ok ok.

“I’ll just patiently wait in the comments for someone to tell me the appropriate age to be able to date whoever you want and be responsible for their own decisions and choices in life.”

Bunnie previously said that she lost 20lbs after splitting from Jelly Roll, and forced herself to eat baby food just to “get by”.

Speaking on the Open Book With Jenna Bush Hager podcast, she said: "There were moments when my team had to pick me up off the floor and give me IVs.

"I was eating baby food to get by. I lost 20 pounds.

"Heartbreak, man, it’s the best freaking diet."

"That’s all you can do. When life hands you lemons, make freaking lemonade."
