Bunny Xo again Jelly Roll they may have given up on that, but that doesn't mean their baby plans are over either.
On the Thursday, June 18, episode of her podcast “Dumb Blonde”, Bunnie, 46, revealed that the writers plan to continue their fertility journey with the goal of starting a family – despite their split as a couple.
“You're going to be shocked to hear this, but we still have a baby,” Bunnie said on the podcast.
Before filing for divorce after 10 years of marriage, Bunnie and Jelly Roll had embarked on an emotionally and physically exhausting IVF journey trying to conceive a child together.
Admitting that she and Jelly Roll are “not normal,” Bunnie went on to explain that both of them are not willing to give up on the dream of a child.
“We're still going to have a baby together, we're still going to give birth together,” Bunnie continued. “I'm very happy to live my life through the eyes of a child, that's why with this baby trip I won't let it break me, and I won't deviate, J was very nice that we still have a child together and he wants the same thing.
Bunnie continued, “We're going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family.”

He admitted: “It completely damaged me, it damaged me emotionally, spiritually and physically.
“It was so difficult for me that in the last year and a half, I became a shell of the person I was because I went through this IVF journey.”
Bunnie also spoke freely about the pregnancy loss she and Jelly Roll experienced along the way.
“J and I have lost four embryos. We've been transferred three times but we lost two twins we were going to try for and then we lost two more,” she explained, describing the experience as “painful” and “very sad.”
Later in the podcast, Bunnie described Jelly Roll as her “best friend.” Bunnie said things between them fell apart after they “met our purpose with each other” and said there was no infidelity that caused the divorce.
For his part, Jelly Roll broke his silence on the dissolution of their marriage, and insisted that their relationship is still friendly.
“My wife and I are great friends. We'll always be great friends. We just got off the phone today,” he said on stage in New York on Thursday. “Nobody fooled anybody. He just did a podcast about it all. You can go watch it. Every word of it is true.”
Earlier this week, Us Weekly confirmed that Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie in May.
According to court documents obtained by UsThe country singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, adding that “the parties can no longer live together successfully as Husband and Wife”.
