Bunnie XO Says She And Jelly Roll Still Plan To Have A Baby Despite Divorce – Starcasm

Bunnie XO opens up about her split from Jelly Roll and reveals that despite their pending divorce, the couple are still moving forward with plans to have a child together.

During the June 18 episode of her Stupid blonde podcast, Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, addressed the end of her nearly ten-year marriage to the country star and shared details about their future plans as co-parents.

“You guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we still have a baby,” Bunnie said on the podcast. “We still have a child together.” She added that Jelly Roll “has been so amazing that we still have a baby together” and said the two plan to raise their future child, whom she affectionately called “little nugget,” as “one big happy family.”

The revelation comes just days after news broke that Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee. Court records reportedly show the suit was filed on May 18, with the couple listing May 9 as their date of separation and citing irreconcilable differences.

According to Bunnie, the divorce was due to an argument on Mother’s Day. She recalled telling her husband to “file the divorce papers” during the heated exchange and later admitted she was speaking out of anger and frustration. “It wasn’t mutual,” she said, explaining that she felt blindsided when he followed through with the filing.

Despite the breakup, Bunnie stressed that there was no infidelity involved.

“So we’ve been the most unconventional couple you’ve ever met,” she said. “We’re going to co-parent. J is my best friend. It’s kind of not what you think it is. No one cheated on the other person.”

The podcast host also shared the emotional toll of the couple’s fertility journey. Bunnie revealed that she and Jelly Roll have lost four embryos during IVF treatments and undergone three embryo transfers. She described the process as one of the most difficult experiences of her life.

“I’ve never talked about this, but J and I have lost four embryos,” she said, explaining that the losses left her emotionally, physically and spiritually devastated.

Bunnie said the shared heartache of infertility strengthened their bond even as their marriage struggled. “In a way, I think in a way that J and I are trauma-bound,” she told listeners.

The couple married in Las Vegas in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023 after previously separating and reconciling. Throughout their relationship, they’ve been honest about the challenges they faced, including past relationship struggles and Jelly Roll’s journey to sobriety.

While their marriage is ending, both seem committed to maintaining a close friendship and building a family together. Bunnie said she had no intention of letting the divorce derail her dream of becoming a mother, calling the prospect of raising a child “the greatest gift” she can imagine.
