Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo, after nearly a decade together, are moving forward with divorce proceedings, yet the couple remains united in one important goal: expanding their family.
Bunnie, 46, recently shared that despite their separation, she and the country music star, 47, continue to pursue having a child together. She is already a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children, Noah, 9, and Bailee, 18, but has expressed a strong desire to have a biological child of her own. To that end, the couple has been undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.
On her Dumb Blonde podcast episode aired June 18, Bunnie candidly discussed the emotional challenges the pair faced during their IVF journey, including multiple embryo losses. She acknowledged how these difficulties impacted both their relationship and their emotional well-being.
Addressing rumors surrounding their split, Bunnie firmly denied that infidelity played a role. She described Jelly Roll as her “best friend” and emphasized that, despite the divorce, they remain close and committed to co-parenting.
While some may find their decision to continue trying for a child post-separation unconventional, Bunnie insisted that it is the right choice for them.
This marks Bunnie’s first public comments since Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee earlier this year, with the announcement becoming public on June 15.
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll’s daughter Bailee, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith, voiced frustration over the intense public attention on the family’s private matters. In a TikTok post on June 16, Bailee expressed her dismay at the scrutiny, asking for privacy and respect during this difficult time.
Court documents filed by Jelly Roll last month cite an inability to “live together successfully as husband and wife” as the reason for the divorce. The filings also note that the couple has agreed to an equitable division of assets and shared responsibility for debts.
Despite their separation, both Jelly Roll and Bunnie appear focused on maintaining a supportive relationship centered around their family and future plans.
