“We still have a baby together”
Despite the split, Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, said the couple plan to continue their IVF journey.
“So, we’ve been the most unconventional couple you’ve ever met. We’re going to be parents together. J is my best friend. It’s not what you think it is. Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just that we served our purpose for each other,” Bunnie said.

During the nearly hour-long episode, she said they tried to conceive several times and had lost four embryos across three transfer attempts, including two twins they had hoped to carry.
“J and I have lost four embryos. We’ve had three transfers. But we lost the two twins that we were going to try for, and then we lost the other two. And anyone who goes through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it’s gut-wrenching. It’s so heartbreaking.”

She also revealed that Jelly Roll had been dealing with low sperm count and had to undergo hormone therapy, which she said created tension between them.
“He’s going to kill me for this, but (he) had a low sperm count and he had to get a lot of hormones and a whole lot of medication,” she said.

The argument that led to divorce
Bunnie said a Mother’s Day argument ultimately led to the application. “On Mother’s Day, we had a little argument. And in that argument, I was so tired and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, file the (expletive) divorce papers,'” she recalled.
“In our relationship, that’s the one cardinal thing you don’t say. But when I say it, it’s really weighty because I’m not the type to say what I don’t mean.”

Bunnie said: “It’s happening. But I think the biggest thing here is that everyone needs to understand why this is happening, where it’s coming from and what we’re doing moving forward, because that’s the most important part.”
“I think everyone is so hung up on our past and what we built together.”

“Being happy and healthy and best friends through this is probably, I think, the greatest gift we could have given each other. And you know, so I’m going to try to do it as tactfully as possible. Um, because I have to take the high road,” she added.
She also described the divorce proceedings as unusually quick. “My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever get a divorce. We’ve done it in about two or three weeks,” she said.
