Bunnie Xo says the end of her marriage has not changed one thing: she still wants to have a baby. One month after her divorce from Jelly Roll was finalized, she said on Aug. 20 that the idea is still part of her future and will become one of the newest chapters of her next book.
That is the update readers are searching for now because the family plan was already public before the split. In June, Bunnie Xo said they were still having a baby and described a path that would involve IVF and a surrogate, with the two of them planning to co-parent. The timing matters. Her latest comments come after the breakup was made final, which is why the question is not whether the baby talk existed, but whether it survived the divorce.
Bunnie Xo framed the answer as a yes. She said she definitely still wants to have a baby and described the journey as one she cannot wait to write about, calling it “one hell of a journey.” She also said she is thriving and having so much fun being single, language that puts the split and her next chapter in the same frame instead of treating them like competing stories.
The larger context is that Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll were married for nearly 10 years after tying the knot in August 2016, and they have said they remain on good terms. Jelly Roll is also the father of Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy from previous relationships, which is part of why their family conversations were never simple. Bunnie Xo has said the road to growing their family was unconventional, and that is still true now.
What she did not spell out is whether the baby plan remains a joint one. She repeated that she still wants to have a baby, but stopped short of saying whether that would still be with Jelly Roll after the divorce. For now, the clearest answer is also the simplest one: the marriage is over, the co-parenting idea was public, and the next step has not been confirmed.
