While Bunnie Xo has had baby fever for a few years, she wanted to be fully ready to take on the challenge. Bunnie and Jelly Roll’s life didn’t have the stability she deemed necessary in 2019. The two were still working through an affair he had between 2017 and 2018, and Bunnie was figuring out sobriety and dealing with depression. “Trying to get pregnant and do IVF in 2019, there was just way too many things,” she revealed in a July 2, 2024, episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast.
They were also not where they wanted to be financially. While she still worked as an escort at the time, Roll had yet to have his breakthrough in music. She has now retired from the sex work industry and is making good money through her podcast and production company, and Roll is a Grammy-nominated star. “We’re not even the same humans we were in 2019,” she said. Bunnie, who turned 44 in January 2024, feels ready. “I feel like I’ve accomplished so much in my life. And the only thing that’s left is to raise a baby and garden,” she said.
And she and Roll even consider having more than one. “We’re on the fence of having twins. We think we want to have twin boys. I’m not sure,” she revealed. The couple will begin the implantation process in February 2025 and hopes to have a DeFord baby in 2026.
