Bunnie Xo still plans to have a child with Jelly Roll, despite their recent divorce filing after 10 years of marriage.
The influencer took to her “Dumb Blonde” podcast Thursday to share the emotional news, saying she’s not “going to deter” her journey toward motherhood with the “Save Me” hitmaker.
Bunnie gushed that Jelly Roll “has been so great about us still having a baby together” and that “he wants the same thing” amid their split.
“We’re just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family,” the podcaster, whose real name is Alisa Andrea Carter, explained.
Elsewhere in the interview, Bunnie shared that her IVF journey had been difficult.
“In the last two years, when we decided to have a baby, I had to do IVF,” she began, saying that her “hat goes off to any woman, family, couple who is going through IVF because, let me tell you something, dude, that is one of the loneliest, darkest journeys you will be on.”
She added, “Yes, everybody gets to see the reward at the end, but it is not all bells and whistles. It is not a beautiful journey. It completely wrecked me.”
Bunnie shared that both she and her estranged husband — whom she claimed had a low sperm count — were on “hormones” at the same time, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
She divulged that amid three embryo transfers, the former couple lost four embryos — “the two twins that we were going to try to have and then we lost the other two.”
“And anybody that’s going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it’s gut-wrenching,” she divulged. “It is so heartbreaking.”
“You get so mad at God, because you’re like, ‘Why is it so easy for people who don’t deserve children to just be able to just pop them out?’” she recalled thinking, noting that she and Jelly Roll are “two people that really want a baby together.”
Despite what she called the “roadblocks” in their relationship that “took a toll” on them, Bunnie shared that she feels she and her ex are “trauma bonded at this point.”
A rep for Jelly Roll did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Thursday evening.
Bunnie, 46, also revealed during the episode that a fight on Mother’s Day led to her split from the 41-year-old country star.
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” she recalled. “And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f–king divorce papers.’”
Page Six confirmed earlier this week that the singer — whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord — did just that, filing for divorce from the media personality on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee.
The former couple, who wed in Las Vegas in 2016, parted ways in 2018, but reconciled and held a vow renewal in 2023.
During their marriage, Jelly Roll had spoken candidly about his admitted infidelity and his journey to sobriety.
Signs that the relationship was on the rocks emerged earlier this year, when fans on social media noted he’d been ditching his wedding ring.
Bunnie seemingly responded to the divorce last month — one week after their separation date of May 9 — by comparing exes to trash cans in a sultry video, in which she pointedly walked past trash cans.
Jelly Roll, meanwhile, deleted a Bunnie tag — along with lock and key emojis — from his Instagram bio amid the separation.
