Bunnie Xo has revealed she is still planning to grow her family, just weeks after finalising her divorce from her husband of nearly 10 years, Jelly Roll.
The Dumb Blonde podcast host, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, shared the major life update as she begins a new chapter following the high-profile split.
The couple tied the knot on August 31, 2016, filing for divorce just shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. Getty
“So I definitely still want to have a baby,” Bunnie confirmed during an interview on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle.
“And that’s going to be one of the newest chapters of my next book, and I can’t wait for you guys to read about it because it’s been one hell of a journey, let me tell you.”
Bunnie did not say whether those plans still involve Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord.
When the couple announced their separation in June, Bunnie revealed the former couple still hoped to have a child together despite ending their marriage.
“We’re still having a baby,” she said at the time.
“We have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered. We’re going to co-parent together.”
In February, the pair shared they were hoping to welcome twins via surrogacy.
The influencer and podcast host also revealed she had started IVF treatments to retrieve her eggs.
She wrote that the decision did not come lightly, with the couple having spent the last decade trying to heal.

“Now that we’re finally stable financially and somewhat emotionally after all the healing we’ve done over this decade together, we’re talking about the future – including growing our family,” she wrote.
Jelly Roll, 41, is already a father to daughter Bailee Ann, 18, and son Noah Buddy, nine, from previous relationships.
The country singer filed for divorce from Bunnie in May after nearly 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Despite going their separate ways, the pair have maintained there is no bad blood between them and have continued to describe each other as best friends.
Now single, Bunnie said she was “thriving” and “having the freaking time of my life”, adding she did not want her new chapter to be defined by her relationship status.

“I know when something like that that’s deeply personal happens, it’s beautifully tragic,” she said.
“But at the same time there’s always a silver lining, there’s always something better to look forward [to].”
Bunnie added there was “so much more” to discuss about women than their former partners.
The pair married in 2016 before briefly separating in 2018 and later reconciling.
They went on to renew their vows in 2023, three years before splitting for good.
