Bunnie Xo<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Jelly<\/p>\n

The couple tied the knot on August 31, 2016, filing for divorce just shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. \u00a0Getty<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I definitely still want to have a baby,\u201d Bunnie confirmed during an interview on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s going to be one of the newest chapters of my next book, and I can\u2019t wait for you guys to read about it because it\u2019s been one hell of a journey, let me tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bunnie did not say whether those plans still involve Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord.<\/p>\n

When the couple announced their separation in June, Bunnie revealed the former couple still hoped to have a child together despite ending their marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still having a baby,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered. We\u2019re going to co-parent together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February, the pair shared they were hoping to welcome twins via surrogacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The influencer and podcast host also revealed she had started IVF treatments to retrieve her eggs.<\/p>\n

She wrote that the decision did not come lightly, with the couple having spent the last decade trying to heal.<\/p>\n

Bunnie previously revealed the pair had been exploring IVF and surrogacy.\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we\u2019re finally stable financially and somewhat emotionally after all the healing we\u2019ve done over this decade together, we\u2019re talking about the future \u2013 including growing our family,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Jelly Roll, 41, is already a father to daughter Bailee Ann, 18, and son Noah Buddy, nine, from previous relationships.<\/p>\n

The country singer filed for divorce from Bunnie in May after nearly 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Now single, Bunnie said she was \u201cthriving\u201d and \u201chaving the freaking time of my life\u201d, adding she did not want her new chapter to be defined by her relationship status.<\/p>\n

Bunnie says she is \u201cthriving\u201d as she begins her next chapter following the split.\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n

\u201cI know when something like that that\u2019s deeply personal happens, it\u2019s beautifully tragic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at the same time there\u2019s always a silver lining, there\u2019s always something better to look forward [to].\u201d<\/p>\n

Bunnie added there was \u201cso much more\u201d to discuss about women than their former partners.<\/p>\n

The pair married in 2016 before briefly separating in 2018 and later reconciling.<\/p>\n

They went on to renew their vows in 2023, three years before splitting for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bunnie Xo has revealed she is still planning to grow her family, just weeks after finalising her divorce…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-864620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
