Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo were desperately trying to have twins via surrogacy months before heading for a split.
Singer Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, ended their marriage after their decade-long union. According to reports, the divorce was filed in May 2026 in Williamson County, Tennessee, and it was stated that the couple is heading for a quiet split. According to court records obtained by media outlets, the couple has not shared an official reason for the split; however, sources close to them told TMZ that it was a mutual decision.
Bunnie, who is stepmom to Jelly's daughter Bailee Ann, 17, and son Noah Buddy, 9, had been struggling with pregnancy. The podcast host often talked about her difficult IVF journey and the struggle she had over the years. However, in February 2026, Bunnie released her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, in which she revealed that she wished to start a family and hoped to welcome twins.
In her book, Bunnie revealed that she and Jelly found a surrogate and were all thrilled to welcome their babies. Revealing how she has been waiting to start a family with Jelly, Bunnie penned:
“I’ve waited this long to have kids with someone I knew would be a great father— and to be able to make sure they have the best life. J and I have a surrogate, the sweetest woman ever, and soon I’ll be starting my IVF stims. With how much IVF has advanced over the years and with the help of the most unselfish woman willing to carry twins for us, we’ll be able to make our baby dreams come true.”
Throughout her IVF journey, Bunnie Xo stayed away from the limelight and didn’t make any public appearances with her husband, Jelly Roll. On her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie Xo revealed that she had been struggling with her IVF treatments and deliberately stayed away from the spotlight. Bashing people’s judgment on her absence, Bunnie said:
“Somebody said the other day, they're like, 'They used to always be together. Now you never see them together. I'm like, do you guys not know for the past six months I've been trying to make a baby? Like, my husband has to work to f--king bring home the bacon. I literally have been on IVF meds for six months and going through heartbreak.”
Ever since Bunnie began her IVF journey, she has been open about her struggles, both physically and emotionally. Earlier, in her podcast, Bunnie shared that she has dealt with a lot just to have a piece of her and her husband. She also revealed that they had originally planned to go through the process privately, but changed their minds because they have always been open about their lives with their fans.
According to the court documents, Jelly filed for separation from Bunnie on May 18, 2026. The duo reportedly decided to keep the details of their separation private, and neither of them issued any statement regarding the same. But people have been blaming Jelly Roll for the split, citing that now that he has gotten his dream body and is moving on to new endeavours, he no longer needs her. A part of the public blamed him for allegedly leaving her behind amid his big future plans, while another section cited cheating. All of these are speculations and aren't based on any verified information.
