Jelly roll and his wife, Bunnie XOare planning to expand their family.
Bunnie, 44, revealed on the Tuesday, July 2, episode of her “Dumb blondepodcast that the couple is in the process of undergoing in vitro fertilization with a surrogate mother.
“We discussed this journey with IVF a few months ago,” she said. “And I thought, I feel like I’ve accomplished so much in my life. And all that’s left is to raise a baby and plant a garden. I’m in my baby mama (and) gardening age.”
Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) married Bunnie (full name Bunnie DeFord) in 2016. She became a stepmother to the “Save Me” singer’s two children, daughter Bailee, 16, and son Noah, 7, from previous relationships.
Jelly Roll may consider himself the son of a sinner, but he has found an angel in his wife Bunnie XO. After two prison sentences – Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) was arrested for aggravated robbery at age 16 and served a year before being locked up for drug trafficking at age 23 – […]
“J was like… ‘I would love to have a baby with you,'” Bunnie recalled on her podcast. “And that wasn’t the answer I thought he would say. I just thought, ‘Wow really? Have you always felt this way?’ He said, ‘Yes, I will always have a baby with you. If you want to have a baby, cool. If you don’t, cool. Whatever you want to do.” So now he’s really excited about it.
They’ve been seeing a fertility specialist since 2019, but only recently did they feel like they were fully prepared, financially and otherwise, to welcome a new addition to their brood.
“We’re about to have twins,” Bunnie said. “We think we want to have twins. I’m not sure. We can have one, we can have two. We don’t know yet what we’re going to do. We do not plan to implant before February 2025.”
In early June, Jelly Roll, 39, shared their IVF plans during his appearance on the “Buses with the boys“podcast.
Whether it’s high school sweethearts or a second chance at love, these country couples are in it for the long haul. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have a love story for the ages. The pair married in 1996 and welcomed daughters Gracie, Maggie and Audrey in 1997, 1998 and 2001 respectively. Despite […]
“We planned to do this privately, but decided that our IVF journey should be shared because we have always been so open,” Bunnie explained via Instagram after his announcement. “And all the odds were against us, it was already difficult (and) we’re just getting started. We met with IVF doctors (and) explored all our options to add to our family.
In her new podcast episode, Bunnie said they want to keep their “IVF journey” private going forward.
“I’m just going to be honest with you guys. I’m not going to carry the baby,” she said, explaining their choice to use a surrogate mother. “I’m not mentally well enough to let my hormones get messed up. … I’m at a point where I’m balanced. My anxiety is finally good. I don’t have depression – of course I have bad days and things like that, but nothing compares to what I experienced in 2019.”
She continued, “There is nothing wrong with having a surrogate mother. I would have trouble carrying a baby. I’ve lost a lot of babies, you know. First of all, we don’t have time to go through that. Secondly, my schedule does not allow me to have…another miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.”
