Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll Divorcing But Still Having a Baby Together

It sounds like the plot of a Netflix dramedy, but Bunnie XO is dead serious: she and Jelly Roll are ending their nearly 10-year marriage, yet they’re moving forward with plans to have a child together and co-parent.

The podcast host opened up about the unconventional arrangement during a Thursday episode, laying out the messy emotional reality that led to the split. The couple’s journey to parenthood has been brutal—multiple embryo losses during their IVF process took a devastating toll on both of them, straining the relationship to a breaking point. Sometimes the weight of trying becomes heavier than the bond itself, and that’s exactly what happened here.

But here’s where it gets interesting: instead of walking away completely, they’re choosing to keep the dream alive. Bunnie emphasized there’s no infidelity, no scandal, no bitter betrayal—just two people who realized they work better as co-parents and best friends than as spouses. She’s pushing back hard against the rumor mill, insisting the split is amicable and that Jelly Roll remains her closest confidant.

This comes after Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee back in May, a filing that TMZ broke before the couple had a chance to tell their own story. Thursday’s podcast marked Bunnie’s first public comments on the breakup, and she didn’t shy away from the complexity. She acknowledged that having a baby after ending the marriage might seem unconventional—because it absolutely is—but called it a path they both fully support.

Looking ahead, Bunnie says she’s focused on rebuilding her life, reclaiming her happiness, and continuing her journey toward motherhood. It’s a reminder that modern relationships don’t always fit into neat categories. Sometimes the best co-parenting partners aren’t the ones you stay married to.
