Bunny Xo And Jellyroll They may have stopped, but that doesn’t mean their baby plans are over too.
On Thursday, June 18th, Follow her “Dumb Blonde” podcastBunnie, 46, revealed the exes plan to continue their fertility journey with the aim of starting a family – despite going their separate ways as a couple.
“You’re going to be shocked to hear this, but we’re still having a baby,” Bunnie said on the podcast.
Before filing for divorce after ten years of marriage, Bunnie and Jelly Roll had embarked on an emotionally and physically demanding IVF journey to welcome a child together.
Bunnie acknowledged that she and Jelly Roll are “unconventional” and went on to explain that neither of them are ready to give up on the dream of having a baby.
“We’re still having a baby together, we’re going to co-parent together,” Bunnie continued. “I’m so excited to live my life through the eyes of a child, so I’m not going to let that get in the way of this baby journey. And I’m not going to take a detour from it. J was so great that we still have a baby together, and he wants the same thing.”
Bunnie continued, “We’re just going to raise the little nugget as one big happy family.”

“It completely ruined me. It ruined me emotionally, spiritually and physically,” she admitted.
“It’s been so hard for me that over the last year and a half I’ve become a shell of the person I was because I was going on these IVF journeys.”
Bunnie also spoke openly about the pregnancy losses she and Jelly Roll suffered along the way.
“J and I lost four embryos. We had three transfers, but we lost the two twins we wanted and then we lost the other two,” she said, describing the experience as “painful” and “so heartbreaking.”
Later in the podcast, Bunnie described Jelly Roll as her “best friend.” Bunnie said things simply fell apart between them after they “served our purpose for each other” and claimed that the divorce was not due to infidelity.
For his part, Jelly Roll broke his silence on the breakdown of the couple’s marriage and also emphasized that their relationship is still amicable.
“My wife and I are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just spoke on the phone today,” he said on stage in New York on Thursday. “Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can watch it. Every word of it is the truth.”
Earlier this week, Us weekly confirmed that Jelly Roll had quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie back in May.
According to court documents obtained by UsThe country singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, adding that the “parties are no longer able to live together successfully as husband and wife.”
Jelly Roll is the father of two children through previous relationships. The Grammy nominee shares daughter Bailee with her ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith and son Noah Buddy, 9, with ex Melissa Ann Cowell. (During their marriage, Jelly Roll and Bunnie had sole custody of Bailee when she was a minor.)
