Bunnie XO, wife of country music star Jelly Roll, is opening up about a deeply emotional moment in her journey through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Known for her raw honesty and vulnerability, Bunnie offered fans a hopeful update after months of physical and emotional struggle.
A Personal Battle with Infertility
Through episodes of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie has shared candidly about her IVF journey—detailing the taxing process of hormone treatments, near-daily injections, and the quiet heartbreaks that come with fertility struggles.
“I’m going through all of this just to hopefully create a little piece of my husband and me,” she said. “A tiny miracle to add to the two beautiful children we already share.”
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has two children from previous relationships—Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy. Bunnie, a devoted stepmother, has long dreamed of adding to their blended family.
IVF: A Difficult but Hopeful Path
IVF is a complex and expensive medical process that gives couples facing infertility a chance to conceive. The procedure typically involves hormone therapy to stimulate egg production, followed by egg retrieval, fertilization in a lab, and eventual embryo transfer into the uterus.
Despite its medical sophistication, IVF doesn’t guarantee success. As Bunnie put it:
“IVF is like a Vegas slot machine — you never know what you’re going to get.”
The Call That Changed Everything
Recently, Bunnie posted a video to Instagram that captured a vulnerable and powerful moment. In the clip, she’s seen receiving a phone call, her voice trembling, tears in her eyes. The overlaid text read:
“When you finally get the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months… all the tears, hopelessness, and struggle — God finally said, ‘Here.’”
In the caption, she added a heartfelt: “Praise Jesus.”
Though fans speculated it might be a pregnancy announcement, Bunnie quickly clarified:
“This is not a pregnancy announcement. We won’t be announcing that. But this is a huge, huge win for us.”
While she didn’t share specifics, many believe the emotional call marked a critical breakthrough in the IVF process—possibly successful embryo retrieval or fertilization.
Finding Strength in Community
Bunnie has repeatedly expressed gratitude for the support she’s found online, particularly within the IVF community on TikTok.
“The girls on IVF TikTok are amazing. They share everything, they’re so kind to each other, and they helped me feel like I wasn’t alone.”
She’s also encouraged other women walking a similar path to seek out support and hold onto hope, even when things feel impossible.
A Journey Rooted in Love and Resilience
For Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll, the road to growing their family has been marked by honesty, love, and relentless perseverance. Though they’re still on the journey, this latest development is a reminder that progress comes in many forms—and that even small victories can carry monumental meaning.
As Bunnie continues to share her experience, she’s helping to destigmatize infertility and remind countless others that they’re not alone.
