Bunnie Xo says her dream of becoming a mother has not disappeared following her divorce from Jelly Roll.
During a recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, the Dumb Blonde podcast host confirmed that she still wants to have a baby. However, she stopped short of saying whether Jelly Roll remains part of those plans.
Bunnie said the experience will become part of a future chapter in her story, describing it as a journey she is looking forward to sharing with fans. Her latest comments come shortly after her divorce from Jelly Roll was finalised in July 2026.
Bunnie Xo Confirms She Still Wants a Baby
Bunnie Xo’s latest comments have renewed interest in the couple’s earlier plans to expand their family.
She confirmed that having a baby remains something she wants. She also suggested that the experience will be part of a future book, giving fans an indication that there is still more to her personal story.
Importantly, Bunnie did not confirm that she and Jelly Roll are continuing their previous plan to have a child together.
That distinction matters because the former couple had previously discussed IVF and surrogacy while they were married.
What Happened to Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll’s Baby Plans?
Before their split, Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll had been open about wanting another child.
In 2024, the couple revealed that they were exploring IVF options. Bunnie later explained that they were considering surrogacy because she could not safely carry a pregnancy herself. Their goal at the time was to add another child to their family alongside Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships.
The pair continued discussing their plans even as they navigated the challenges involved.
However, their relationship changed dramatically in 2026.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee on May 18, 2026. Court documents listed May 9 as the couple’s separation date and cited irreconcilable differences.
Their divorce was finalised in July, ending a marriage that had lasted nearly a decade.
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll Are No Longer Married
Bunnie and Jelly Roll married in August 2016 after meeting in Las Vegas the previous year.
Their relationship became one of the more recognisable couples’ stories in country music. They regularly spoke about their personal lives, family and challenges in public.
The breakup therefore came as a surprise to many fans.
After the separation, however, both Bunnie and Jelly Roll emphasised that their relationship had not turned into a bitter public feud. Jelly Roll described Bunnie as his best friend during a June 2026 concert and thanked her for their years together.
The two have also spoken about maintaining a positive relationship despite ending their marriage.
Bunnie Xo’s IVF Journey Was Already Part of Her Story
Bunnie’s and Jelly Roll’s plans for a baby were not a new development.
The couple began publicly discussing their family plans before their divorce. Bunnie previously shared that they had been meeting with fertility specialists and considering different options.
She also spoke openly about the emotional side of the process.
For Bunnie, the journey was significant because she and Jelly Roll had initially not expected to have another child. Their plans changed as they became more interested in expanding their family.
Surrogacy was part of the plan they discussed before their marriage ended.
Now, Bunnie’s latest statement suggests that her desire to have a child remains, even though her circumstances have changed.
Does Bunnie XO Still Plan to Have a Baby with Jelly Roll?
At this point, there is no confirmed statement that Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll are still planning to have a baby together.
Bunnie has confirmed that she personally still wants a baby. She has not, however, publicly clarified whether her future family plans involve Jelly Roll.
That is an important difference from comments she made shortly after their breakup.
In June, when she first addressed the divorce publicly on her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie said they were still planning to have a baby together and discussed co-parenting.
Since then, their divorce has been finalised.
Her more recent comments focus on her own desire to become a mother rather than confirming a continued co-parenting plan with her ex-husband.
Bunnie Xo Says She Is Moving Forward
The baby discussion comes during a broader period of change for Bunnie.
Following the divorce, she has repeatedly described herself as doing well and embracing her new chapter. Recent reporting says she has spoken about feeling happier and enjoying life after the split.
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll has also been adjusting to life after the marriage.
In August, he revealed that he planned to step away from touring for an extended period to focus on healing.
Their separate paths make Bunnie’s latest comments especially notable.
Rather than framing motherhood around her former marriage, she appears to be speaking about it as part of her own future.
Why Bunnie Xo’s Baby Comments Matter
Bunnie’s comments are significant because her plans for motherhood have been closely connected to one of the biggest personal journeys of her recent life.
She and Jelly Roll had previously discussed IVF, surrogacy and expanding their family. Their divorce changed the circumstances surrounding those plans.
Yet Bunnie’s latest statement shows that the desire itself has not necessarily changed.
For now, there are still unanswered questions about what her future family will look like. Bunnie has not announced a pregnancy, confirmed a surrogate or disclosed a new partner in connection with her plans.
Therefore, any reports claiming that she is currently expecting or that she has confirmed a specific co-parenting arrangement would go beyond what she has publicly said.
What Happens Next for Bunnie Xo?
Bunnie has indicated that her journey will continue to unfold publicly, including through her writing.
Her comments suggest that motherhood could become an important part of the next chapter she eventually shares with her audience.
For now, the clearest update is simple: Bunnie Xo still wants a baby, but she has not confirmed who, if anyone, will be involved in that future plan.
As her post-divorce life develops, more details may emerge directly from Bunnie herself.
