Another step closer to having a child of their own.
Bunnie Xo is sharing another part of her and Jelly Roll’s IVF journey as they hope to create a child of their own one day. Bunnie Xo is very candid online and has opened up significantly over the last year about Jelly and her journey to conceive. Jelly Roll admitted on a Bussin’ With The Boys podcast episode that a massive motivator for him to lose weight and get healthy was that he and Bunnie hoped to create a child of their own one day.
“My wife and I are talking about having a baby. And it really made me realize, at almost 40, I was like, that means I got to live to at least 60. I got to see this kid into college.”
Bunnie is a great stepmother to Jelly Roll’s kids from previous relationships, stepping into a motherly role without missing a beat. But after many years together, they’ve decided it would be great to have a baby who shares their DNA.
Bunnie has opened up a few times since Jelly Roll spoke on this, noting that they are in the middle of their IVF journey. She notes that at first, they planned to do it privately, but she felt called to speak on it after Jelly shared that vulnerable information about his weight on Bussin’ With The Boys.

Since initially addressing it, Bunnie has sprinkled in IVF content here and there, sharing bits about it, including an update during a recent TikTok post after fans asked her to have Casey Anthony on her podcast.
“I’m literally going through IVF treatment right now, the hormones, the shots, all of that, going through all of the emotions, the rollercoaster, the worry. Just so that I can have a little piece of my husband and me, just a little piece, wrapped in skin, just to add to the other two beautiful children we have together.
And I could never imagine being blessed with a child and letting that child be hurt in any way.”
She touched on it again in a day in my life video narrated by her dog, Chachi. In a portion of the video, Bunnie is lying on the couch with an IV in her arm, noting that she’s “in the throws of IVF stims right now.”
“Anyways, Mom says she’s bringing home a brother or a sister for us. Not sure what that’s going to entail, but she hasn’t been feeling good, so I’m here to sit next to her, give her kisses, and just let her know that she’s not alone.”
@xomgitsbunnie Should I do more of these? 😃 #bunnieandchachi ♬ original sound – Bunnie Xo 🪄
In her most recent update, Bunnie shared a video of her coming out of anesthesia. While she did not specify what the procedure was, on the Facebook caption, she noted:
“We’re making babies.”
Which leads one to believe that she had an egg retrieval procedure. This procedure is when the doctor removes eggs from a woman’s ovaries for use in in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg freezing. For Bunnie’s journey, they would be used for IVF.
In the video, Bunnie is a bit loopy and asks how long she’s been out, to which the woman behind the camera says only about 13 minutes. The anesthesia was doing its job, huh?
“I’m not gonna lie, I love Propofol. That’s good sh*t. I’m f**kin’ high as hell. I’m so thankful, praise Jesus.”
Bunnie says in her comatose state that she is thankful that the procedure went well. Of course, in traditional Bunnie Xo fashion, she had to ask something wild, too.
“Did I poop on the Dr.?”
Thankfully, that answer was no. We hope everything went smoothly during this procedure and that it brings Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll another step closer to creating a beautiful child.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I admire Bunnie’s transparency throughout this process.
It’s much more common for women to go through IVF than it’s often spoken about, and it’s a scary and hard journey not only on your body but mentally. Bunnie sharing her story is taking away the stigma of talking about fertility and trying to conceive.
Kudos to Bunnie Xo.
