Just 6 Months Before Their Split, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO Were Trying to Have a Baby Together

The news of Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s divorce was already heartbreaking for fans. But a newly resurfaced interview is making the split feel even more devastating.

Just six months before news broke that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce, the couple was actively undergoing IVF and planning to expand their family together. In fact, Bunnie XO had spoken openly about how excited — and terrified — she was to finally become a mom.

According to Bunnie, the journey to parenthood had been years in the making.

In her memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, she revealed that she and Jelly Roll had been exploring fertility options since 2019 and had even found a surrogate. The couple planned to use Bunnie’s eggs and Jelly Roll’s sperm and were hoping to have twins.

“We’re going to raise these babies in love,” Bunnie wrote, explaining that after years of healing together, they finally felt emotionally and financially ready to grow their family.

But the road wasn’t easy.

Bunnie shared that previous abortions and ectopic pregnancies meant IVF was her only realistic path to motherhood. She described the process as one of the hardest things she’d ever experienced, admitting, “It’s been rough. It has not been easy,” while still expressing faith that everything would work out.

Last June, she even celebrated a major milestone in the IVF process on social media, posting an emotional message about finally getting “the call” she’d been waiting for after months of uncertainty. At the time, fans thought the couple’s future looked brighter than ever.

That’s why the divorce news has hit so hard.

On June 16, it was revealed that Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 10 years of marriage. Court documents listed May 9 as the couple’s date of separation. Neither star has publicly explained what led to the breakup.

Fans are now looking back at Bunnie’s recent social media posts with fresh eyes.

Just before the divorce became public, she posted a glamorous photo captioned, “She’s getting her sparkle back,” while other cryptic videos about “women’s intuition” have fueled speculation that trouble may have been brewing behind the scenes.

For years, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO were seen as one of country music’s strongest couples.

They survived infidelity, public scrutiny, and countless personal struggles. They renewed their vows. They talked openly about building a future together.

And perhaps that’s why this latest chapter feels so painful.

Just months ago, they were dreaming about babies.

Today, fans are struggling to understand how a couple that fought so hard for each other ended up here.
