Bunnie Xo revealed she and Jelly Roll hope to welcome twins via surrogate.
The Dumb Blonde podcast host, 46, shared in her new memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, that she and her husband, Jelly Roll, 41, found a surrogate. Bunnie Xo wrote: “J and I have a surrogate, the sweetest woman ever, and soon I’ll be starting my IVF stims. …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.”
Jelly Roll first opened up about possibly welcoming a baby with Bunnie Xo when he appeared on an episode of Bussin’ With The Boys in June 2024. While speaking about his health journey, the three-time Grammy winner said part of his motivation to live a healthier lifestyle is “my wife and I are talking about having a baby.” Bunnie Xo shared a clip from that podcast on TikTok, and said “God willing, Baby DeFord 2026.” She shared some candid updates on her IVF journey along the way; however, she also had to call out “gross” comments on social media. In her book, Bunnie Xo said she “could not give a f***” about anyone who criticizes their decision to grow their family.
“We’re going to raise these babies in love and give them everything we were never given,” Bunnie Xo wrote. “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.”
Twins would join big siblings Bailee Ann, 17, and Noah Buddy, 9, Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships.
