Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, have always worn their hearts on their sleeves — and now, they’re opening up about one of their most personal journeys yet: the road to growing their family through IVF.
While Jelly Roll is already a proud father to Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy, both from previous relationships, he and Bunnie have long dreamed of having a child together — a baby that represents the love they’ve built and the life they’ve fought so hard to create.
“I’m literally going through IVF treatments right now — the hormones, the shots, all that,” Bunnie shared on a recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast. “I’m going through all the emotions, the rollercoaster, the worry… just so I can have a little piece of my husband and me — just a little piece wrapped in skin — to add to the two beautiful children we already have together.”
A Journey of Hope, Grit, and Grit Again
The IVF process is no small feat. From hormone injections to egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer — every step is laced with uncertainty and hope. As Bunnie candidly explained, “It’s like a slot machine in Vegas. You never know what you’re going to get. Age is a factor. What works for some doesn’t work for others.”
For five months, she and Jelly Roll have quietly navigated the highs and lows of the IVF process — and just days ago, they got the call they’d been hoping for.
“God Finally Said, ‘Here.’”
In an emotional Instagram video, Bunnie shared footage of herself receiving the long-awaited phone call. Tears streamed down her face as she wrote:
“When you just got the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months since this IVF journey started. All the tears, the hopelessness & the struggle, God finally said, ‘Here.’”
Her caption? Just two words, but full of meaning: “Praise Jesus.”
Though she was quick to clarify that this wasn’t a pregnancy announcement, Bunnie confirmed this was a huge step forward — a sign of hope in a process filled with uncertainty.
Finding Strength in Sisterhood
Like many women navigating IVF, Bunnie has found unexpected strength and comfort through TikTok.
“I wouldn’t have gone through this IVF journey if it wasn’t for the TikTok IVF girlies,” she admitted. “They’re so sweet to each other. They really share everything.”
To women going through the same thing, Bunnie offered a message of solidarity:
“Know that you’re not alone… there are so many of us doing this. Go find your community.”
A Love That’s Fighting for More
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s story is one of resilience, faith, and fierce love. While the world watches their music careers soar, it’s their quiet battles — the ones off stage, between hormone shots and hopeful prayers — that reveal just how deeply committed they are to building a life together.
And though the journey isn’t over, this latest update is a beacon of light on a long road.
Because sometimes, the biggest victories aren’t shouted from the rooftops — they’re whispered through tears and felt in the quiet moments where love refuses to give up.
