Bunnie Xo has opened up about her split from Jelly Roll, revealing that despite their recent divorce filing, the pair still plan to have a child together.
On Thursday's episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 46-year-old shared an emotional update on her future with the country star.
Bunnie said Jelly Roll "has been so great about us still having a baby together" and added that "he wants the same thing" despite their marriage ending.
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she told listeners.
The revelation comes days after it emerged that the 41-year-old musician, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18 after 10 years of marriage. Court documents cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
While discussing the breakdown of their relationship, Bunnie, whose real name is Alisa Andrea Carter, reflected on their difficult fertility journey.
"In the last two years, when we decided to have a baby, I had to do IVF," she said. "My 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 continued: "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."
According to Bunnie, both she and Jelly Roll were taking hormones during the process, while the 'Save Me' singer was also dealing with a low sperm count, creating what she described as a chaotic situation.
The couple endured several painful setbacks during treatment. Bunnie disclosed that across three embryo transfers, they lost four embryos.
"The two twins that we were going to try to have, and then we lost the other two," she explained. "And anybody that's going through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it's gut-wrenching. It is so heartbreaking."
She admitted the losses left her questioning why the process had been so difficult.
"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, adding that she and Jelly Roll are "two people that really want a baby together."
The podcast host said the "roadblocks" in their relationship had taken "a toll" on them, but she feels the pair are "trauma bonded at this point".
She also revealed that an argument on Mother's Day led to the end of their marriage.
"On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary," she said. "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***ing divorce papers.'"
According to Bunnie, Jelly Roll followed through and filed the paperwork shortly afterward.
The former couple first met in 2015 and married in Las Vegas the following year after the singer proposed on stage.
Although they briefly separated in 2018, they later reconciled and renewed their vows in 2023.
The divorce has sparked intense public interest, prompting a response from Jelly Roll's 18-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann.
"Oh & one more thing I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter. It's fkn crazy," she wrote on TikTok. "Go on somewhere yall. Worry bout your house - not mine. I'm not speaking on it – yet."
In a follow-up post, she thanked supporters for their kindness, adding: "I understand & respect opinions and that a public profile is a public profile, but that doesn't have to mean we throw away our human decency."
