Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll are ending their marriage, but not their shared plan to become parents. On her podcast Thursday, Bunnie said the pair still intend to have a baby together and co-parent, even as they move through a divorce after nearly 10 years together.
That is not the usual celebrity divorce script, which normally arrives with a statement about privacy, healing, and absolutely no useful information. Bunnie was unusually specific, explaining where things stand, what they’ve been through, and why the family plan is still on.
What Bunnie XO said about the split
Bunnie addressed the breakup publicly for the first time since TMZ reported that Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee in May. She said the decision to separate does not mean the two are cutting ties or abandoning the future they had been working toward.
Bunnie said the relationship is shifting, not turning into a fight. She said she and Jelly Roll remain close, and she described him as her best friend. She also made clear that, in her view, the end of the marriage does not erase the bond between them.
The central point was direct: they still plan to have a child together. Bunnie acknowledged that having a baby after deciding to divorce may sound unconventional, but said both of them support the plan and are committed to co-parenting.
Their IVF journey has been difficult
Bunnie also discussed the couple’s IVF journey, saying they experienced multiple embryo losses while trying to start a family. She said those setbacks were emotionally heavy for both of them and added strain to the relationship.
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, can be physically and emotionally demanding even when the process goes smoothly. Bunnie’s account made clear that theirs did not. She said the losses affected them deeply, and that the pressure of trying to build a family became part of the larger stress around their marriage.
She did not present IVF as the only reason for the split. Relationships rarely fit that neatly into one box, despite the internet’s best efforts to create one. But she did say the experience took a toll and formed part of the context for where she and Jelly Roll are now.
She denied cheating rumors and bad blood
Bunnie pushed back on speculation that infidelity caused the breakup. She denied rumors of cheating and said there is no bad blood between her and Jelly Roll.
That distinction matters because public divorces often become a group project, with strangers assigning motives based on scraps of information. Bunnie’s version was more restrained: the marriage is ending, the friendship remains, and the family conversation continues.
She emphasized that their connection has not disappeared because of the divorce filing. Her comments suggested less a total collapse than two people trying to reorganize their lives without turning it into a public fight.
What comes next for Bunnie
Bunnie said she is focused on rebuilding her life, finding her happiness again, and continuing her path toward motherhood. She did not present the next chapter as simple, but she did present it as intentional.
The basic takeaway is straightforward. Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee in May, Bunnie has now publicly addressed it, and both still intend to move forward with having a child together.
It may not be a traditional post-marriage arrangement, but Bunnie said it is one they both understand and support. In celebrity terms, that almost counts as unusually clear communication.
