Bunnie Xo bre4ks Silence on Jelly Roll Div0rce, Reveals They Still Plan to Have a Baby Together
Just days after fans learned that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce, Bunnie Xo is sharing her side of the story—and her revelations are far from what many expected.
The podcast host and media personality opened up in a candid episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, addressing the end of her nearly decade long marriage to the country music star. While celebrity breakups often become tangled in allegations of infidelity or public conflict, Bunnie insisted that was not the case here. Instead, she described a deeply complicated relationship that evolved over time, leaving both partners facing difficult realities about their future.
Perhaps the most surprising revelation was her insistence that despite the divorce, she and Jelly Roll still plan to have a baby together.
Bunnie Says the Split Wasn’t About Che4ting

Rumors began circulating almost immediately after news of the divorce became public. Fans speculated about what might have caused the sudden end of a marriage that, from the outside, appeared strong and supportive.
Bunnie addressed those rumors directly.
According to her, there was no cheating, no secret betr4yal, and no explos1ve scandal hiding behind the headlines. Instead, she explained that both she and Jelly Roll reached a point where they recognized they had changed and grown in different ways. She described their relationship as unconventional from the beginning and suggested that they had “served their purpose for each other” during a significant chapter of their lives.
Jelly Roll later echoed those sentiments during a concert appearance, telling fans that “nobody cheated on nobody” and emphasizing that he still has tremendous love and respect for Bunnie. He referred to her as his best friend and expressed gratitude for the years they spent together.
For many fans, those comments offered a dr4matically different narrative than the one often a.ssociated with high profile celebrity divorces.
The Mother’s Day Argument That Changed Everything

During her podcast discussion, Bunnie revealed that one particularly intense argument on Mother’s Day became a major turning point.
She admitted that emotions were running high and that during the disagreement she told Jelly Roll to file for divorce. According to Bunnie, she said it in frustration and never truly believed he would follow through with it.
But he did.
When Jelly Roll eventually filed, Bunnie said she felt bl1ndsided. While she acknowledged that the marriage had been facing challenges, she explained that she wasn’t fully prepared for the legal process to move forw4rd. Despite the pain surrounding that decision, she now believes it may have served as a necessary wake up call for both of them.
Court records show that Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences. The documents listed May 9 as the couple’s separation date.
Their Difficult IVF Journey Took a Heavy Toll
One of the most emotional portions of Bunnie’s discussion involved the couple’s ongoing efforts to have a child together.
For years, both have spoken publicly about wanting to expand their family. Jelly Roll is already the father of daughter Bailee and son Noah from previous relationships, while Bunnie has openly discussed her own fertility stru.ggles.
According to Bunnie, their IVF journey became far more difficult than either expected. She described the process as emotionally exhausting and said it affected nearly every aspect of her life. The stress, uncertainty, and repeated setbacks reportedly placed enormous pressure on both partners.
She revealed that they lost four embryos during the process and endured numerous disappointments while trying to build a family together. She also shared that Jelly Roll faced fertility related challenges of his own, requiring medical treatment and hormone therapy as they pursued IVF.
Bunnie described the experience as one of the hardest journeys she has ever faced.
“It’s one of the loneliest, darkest journeys,” she explained while reflecting on the emotional impact of fertility treatments.
They’re Still Planning to Have a Baby
Despite everything that has happened, Bunnie says one dream remains unchanged.
The couple is still planning to have a baby together.
She revealed that discussions surrounding their future child were included as part of their divorce arrangements and that they remain committed to creating a loving co parenting environment. Bunnie referred to the future child by the nickname “little Nugget” and expressed optimism that their dream of becoming parents together could still become reality.
According to her, the goal is not to force a traditional relationship structure but rather to build a healthy and supportive environment centered on the child’s well being.
The arrangement may seem unusual, but Bunnie emphasized that their relationship has never followed conventional rules.
Best Friends Even After Divorce
Throughout her discussion, one theme appeared repeatedly: friendship.
Bunnie repeatedly described Jelly Roll as her best friend and made it clear that she does not view him as an enemy. Instead, she spoke about him with affection, gratitude, and respect.
Jelly Roll’s public comments mirrored that sentiment. During his first onstage remarks about the divorce, he thanked Bunnie for the years they shared and indicated that he hopes their friendship will continue long after their marriage officially ends.
That perspective has resonated with many fans who are accustomed to celebrity breakups becoming public b4ttles.
A Different Kind of Ending
The story of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo appears to be less about scandal and more about change.
After nearly ten years of marriage, the couple found themselves confronting challenges that included demanding careers, personal growth, emotional strain, and a difficult fertility journey. While those obstacles ultimately led to divorce, both continue to speak about one another with compa.ssion rather than resentment.
Whether their unconventional plan to co parent a future child ultimately becomes reality remains to be seen.
What is clear, however, is that neither Bunnie Xo nor Jelly Roll wants their story reduced to the typical celebrity divorce narrative.
Instead, they appear determined to show that even when a marriage ends, love, friendship, and shared dreams do not necessarily disappear with it.
