Jelly Roll and his spouse, Bunnie XO, are taking a significant step forward in their lives together. In a recent revelation, the couple shared their plans to expand their family through in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the help of a surrogate.
Bunnie, at the age of 44, opened up about their decision on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. She expressed her desire to embark on a new chapter in her life, saying, “I feel like I’ve accomplished so much. Now, I want to focus on raising a baby and gardening.”
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, and Bunnie, tied the knot in 2016. Bunnie embraced the role of stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships, a daughter named Bailee, who is now 16, and a son named Noah, aged 7.
In a heartwarming revelation, Bunnie shared Jelly Roll’s enthusiastic response to the idea of having a baby together. “J was like … ‘I would love to have a baby with you,’” she recalled. “I was touched by his support and openness to the idea.”
The couple has been consulting with fertility specialists since 2019, but it is only now that they feel emotionally and financially ready to take this momentous step. They are considering the possibility of having twins, specifically twin boys, but are still undecided on the final number.
Jelly Roll, 39, first shared their IVF plans during an appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast in early June. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Bunnie later explained their decision to share their journey publicly, acknowledging the challenges they have faced and continue to face.

In her recent podcast episode, however, Bunnie expressed their decision to keep the rest of their “IVF journey” private. She explained their choice to use a surrogate, saying, “I’m not going to carry the baby. My mental health is a priority, and I don’t want to risk my hormones getting out of whack.”
Bunnie has experienced multiple miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies in the past, and she emphasized the importance of her stable mental health and busy schedule in their decision-making process. “There is nothing wrong with having a surrogate,” she asserted.
