Bunnie, 44, revealed on the Tuesday, July 2, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast that the couple is in the process of in vitro fertilization with a surrogate. “This trip with IVF, we sat in (…)
“It’s hard, but at the same time it’s like you put it in God’s hands. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt,” said Bunnie Xo. “I too am totally open to adoption and so is my husband.”
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) tied the knot in 2016. She became stepmother to the two children of the country singer: daughter Bailee, 17, and son Noah, 8, from previous relationships.
In 2024, Jelly Roll shared the couple’s plans to expand their family through IVF during an appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast.
“We had planned to do it privately, but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open,” Bunnie said via Instagram after her announcement. “And against all the odds, it’s already been difficult (and) we’re just getting started. We’ve been meeting (with) IVF doctors (and) exploring all of our options to add to our family.”

She continued, “J was like…” I would love to have a baby with you. And that was not the answer I thought I would say. I was like, “Really? Have you always felt that way? He said, ‘Yeah, I’ll always have a baby with you.’ If you want to have a baby, great. If you don’t, great. Whatever you want to do. So now he’s really excited.”
Bunnie Xo explained that they have been seeing a fertility specialist since 2019, but didn’t think they were ready until recently.
“We’re about to have twins,” Bunnie Xo said. “We think we want to have twins. I’m not sure. We could have one, we could have two. We don’t know what we’re going to do yet. We don’t plan to implant until February 2025.”
