Bunnie Xo leaned into the mic with that unfiltered spark she’s known for and let the world know exactly where her marriage to Jelly Roll stands.
On the latest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the internet’s favorite truth-teller decided she’d heard enough of the whispers. Fans have been firing off comments about how she and Jelly Roll “used to always be together” and now hardly ever appear side-by-side. The speculation snowballed, but Bunnie wasn’t about to let someone else write her story.
“Do y’all not know for the past six months I’ve been trying to make a baby?” she shot back, the kind of answer that doesn’t just close a door, it slams it.
Bunnie and the “Save Me” singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, have been open about their fertility journey since last year. Married in 2016, the two have built a life that already includes Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee Ann, and son, Noah Buddy. But as she put it, she’s been working toward adding “a little piece of my husband and me” to that family picture, and the road has been anything but easy.
She’s been on IVF medications for half a year, juggling hormone shots, emotional swings, and the weight of heartbreak that only someone in the thick of it can understand. “My husband has to work to f—— bring home the bacon,” she said. “Luckily, I get the luxury of working from home. He doesn’t. He has to make appearances, but I literally have been on IVF meds for six months and going through heartbreak and so much sh–.”
Her absence from red carpets and backstage hangs isn’t a sign of trouble, it’s a sign of focus. She laughed about maybe doing “a sexy photoshoot” just to remind people she’s still around, and maybe to rile up the haters while she’s at it. That’s the Bunnie brand, tough enough to laugh in the middle of the storm, soft enough to keep chasing the dream of a baby in her arms.
