Bunnie Xo Says She’s Putting Her IVF Journey In The Hands Of God: “If It’s Meant To Be, It’s Meant To Be”
Bunnie Xo has been as real as it gets when it comes to giving updates about her and Jelly Roll’s journey to becoming parents. Bunnie and Jelly had planned to keep this journey private for a long time, but they decided to open up after Jelly Roll noted that wanting to have a child had significantly motivated him to lose weight.
“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.”
While Bunnie Xo is highly involved in the lives of Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships, the couple has decided they want a child who shares their DNA. To achieve this goal, Bunnie Xo shared with fans that she’s undergoing IVF and has periodically given them updates on her journey.
After doing back-to-back rounds of IVF, Bunnie admitted that she was thinking about taking a break, given the toll it took on her body. The first round of IVF was good for Bunnie; however, she had a horrible second-round reaction to a different medication her doctor put her on, which caused her to go into a medical menopause.
“So I’m doing my second round of IVF. The last cycle, we got eggs, they are frozen, whatever. But I guess to increase your chances of having a baby, you need to have as many eggs as possible, which is why women end up doing 5-10 IVF cycles. Which hats off to you, broads, because there is no way, shape, or form that I could do that.”
When Bunnie said she was thinking about letting fate take over, she got a call from her doctor with some big news. While the news hasn’t yet been revealed, Bunnie did share with followers that it’s not a pregnancy announcement. Based on what she’s shared about this journey, it sounds like any good news is worth celebrating.
“When you just got the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months since this IVF journey started. All the tears, the hopeless & the struggle, God finally said, ‘Here.’”

Bunnie clarified that the news was not a pregnancy announcement; it was new that was a step in the right direction of them having a child. She then confirmed that she was hoping to gift a fan with a round of IVF.
On average, the cost of IVF is anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000, but it can sometimes be more expensive depending on how many rounds a woman goes through. It’s not an investment that those facing infertility take lightly, and given the cost associated with it, it makes it that much harder for women when it does not work or you have to go through multiple rounds of fertility treatment.
Bunnie Xo has also responded to many fans who claim she’s not around as much, when that’s entirely not true. However, she shut down the rumors, reminding folks of the toll that this journey has taken on her body and that she’s doing everything she can to remain healthy and sound of mind to aid their IVF journey better. And after you learn about how much IVF costs, it makes sense why Jelly Roll is hustling too.
“Somebody said the other day, they’re like, ‘They used to always be together. Now you never see them together. I’m like, do you guys not know for the past six months I’ve been trying to make a baby? Like, my husband has to work to f***ing bring home the bacon.
Luckily, I have the luxury of being able to work from home. So he doesn’t. He has to make appearances. But I literally have been on IVF meds for f***ing six months and going through heartbreak and f***ing so much s***.”
As of late, Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll have taken a pause, and fans have received little information about their journey since this spring and summer. However, Bunnie touched on it a little bit during her most recent Dumb Blonde episode with Maury Povich. At one point in the conversation, Maury shares that he and his wife, Connie Chung, also went through IVF over 30 years ago to conceive.
“We went through the same stuff that you and Jelly Roll have gone through. We tried to get pregnant, and I’m telling you this is over 30 years ago. And so Connie had to take time off CBS, and it became a big story that we were trying to get pregnant.”
Maury shares that at first, many late-night folks were making jokes about his and Connie’s sex life, knowing that they were trying to get pregnant, but without being sympathetic toward the fact that their struggle was not a laughing matter. Eventually, Maury and his bride adopted and are so blessed and thankful for the opportunity to raise these children and build a family, even if it was not the way they had initially envisioned it.
Maury showed a lot of compassion toward Bunnie Xo during this conversation, knowing that she was going through what his wife had endured in hopes of getting pregnant.
“It is tough, but at the same time, you just put it in God’s hands, and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt.”
From those words, it sounds like Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are still hoping to conceive through IVF but are not putting all their eggs in that basket and are open to other options. After Bunnie touched on their journey and how they are leaning into their faith, Maury praised Bunnie Xo for stepping up for Bailee Ann and for being an amazing, supportive woman who helped Jelly Roll get back on his feet. Amen to that.
Bunnie Xo is an amazing stepmother to Jelly Roll’s other children, and God willing, she and Jelly can one day raise a child of their own together. That had to make Bunnie Xo feel good hearing that from such a widely-respected media personality.
Just as Maury shared words of hope on the podcast episode, we, too, are sending Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo continued positive thoughts as they are on their IVF journey.
