Just when fans thought the Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO story couldn’t get any more emotional, Bunnie has revealed something nobody expected: Despite their divorce, they’re still planning to have a baby together.
In a tearful episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie finally addressed the end of her nearly 10-year marriage to Jelly Roll, insisting that their split wasn’t caused by cheating, betrayal, or some explosive scandal. Instead, she said they simply reached a point where they realized they had “served our purpose for each other.”
But then came the bombshell.
Bunnie revealed that the couple still intends to continue their IVF and surrogacy journey and raise their future child together. She said their baby, affectionately nicknamed “Little Nugget,” will grow up surrounded by love, even if their romantic relationship has come to an end.
The revelation stunned fans, especially because the divorce itself wasn’t entirely mutual.
According to Bunnie, the turning point came after a heated argument on Mother’s Day. In the middle of the fight, she told Jelly Roll to file for divorce — something she later admitted she said out of frustration. To her surprise, he actually followed through. Bunnie confessed she felt blindsided when he filed, though she now believes the painful decision may have been the wake-up call they both needed.
Jelly Roll addressed the situation publicly for the first time during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Fighting back emotion, he told fans:
“Nobody cheated on nobody.”
He described Bunnie as his “best friend forever” and urged fans to listen to her podcast episode, saying she had told the truth about their breakup. He also confirmed that they still plan to become parents together despite ending their marriage.
For fans, that’s the part that’s hardest to understand.
How do two people go from renewing their vows, pursuing IVF, and dreaming about babies… to getting divorced, while still planning a future together? The couple has already endured years of fertility struggles, including the loss of four embryos, and Bunnie says she isn’t giving up on becoming a mother.
Social media has been flooded with mixed emotions.
Some fans are calling it the most mature celebrity breakup they’ve ever seen. Others believe staying this close after divorce will only make the healing process more painful.
But if Bunnie and Jelly Roll agree on one thing, it’s this:
Their love story may be changing.
It just isn’t ending.
