Jelly Roll wants to be a dad of three.
The country music star and his wife, Bunnie Xo, revealed they are undergoing In vitro fertilization (IVF) to start their own family.
While discussing his recent weight loss journey on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast Tuesday, Jelly Roll — born Jason DeFord — said he wanted to lose weight so he could live longer to see his kids grow up.
“My wife and I are talking about having a baby, and it really made me realize that at almost 40, I was like, it means I got to live to at least 60. I got to see this kid into college,” he said.
The singer has a daughter named Bailee Ann, 16, and a son named Noah Buddy, 7, whom he shares from previous relationships.
Bunnie — whose real name is Alisa DeFord — shared the clip from her husband’s interview on Instagram Tuesday, writing across the video that the “Wild Ones” singer, 39, “dropped a surprise on this pod today 😍.”
“We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our ivf journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open,” the former sex worker, 44, added.
“And w/all odds stacked against us, it’s always been hard & we have only just begun.”
Bunnie captioned the post, “God Willing- Baby DeFord 2026 💫 @bussinwtb.”
In April, Jelly Roll revealed he lost more than 70 pounds as he prepped to participate in the 2 Bears 5K with Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
“I’m probably down 70-something pounds. I’ve been really kicking ass, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week,” he told People.
“I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now.”
That same month, Bunnie revealed her husband took a step back from social media because he was getting bullied about his weight.
“The internet can say whatever the f–k they want about you and they say, ‘Well you’re a celebrity. You’re supposed to be able to handle it.’ No the f–k we’re not,” she said in the clip posted to TikTok on April 21.
The heavily tattooed musician and the podcast host tied the knot in 2016 after one year of dating.
