Bunnie Xo Shows Off New Home After 10-Year Marriage to Jelly Roll Ends

Q: IVF helped end their marriage. Why are Jelly Roll and Bunnie still trying to have a baby together?

They are still trying to have a baby together because the divorce did not end their shared desire to become parents, and both say their split was about communication problems, not a collapse of affection or trust. By their own account, IVF was a major factor in the marriage breaking down. Bunnie has described the process as emotionally and physically devastating, saying the couple endured hormone treatments, low sperm-count issues, the loss of four embryos, and multiple miscarriages. She said that strain left her depleted and worsened an already unhealthy communication pattern between them. But both have also said they remain best friends and still see parenthood as a joint goal. On her podcast, Bunnie said she is not giving up on motherhood and that Jelly Roll “wants the same thing.” She has framed their bond as unusually close even after divorce, saying they plan to raise a child together “as one big happy family.” Their post-divorce arrangement helps explain that decision. The split was described as amicable, with no infidelity involved, and they already co-parent Jelly Roll’s children, Bailee and Noah. In that context, they appear to view having a baby together less as a continuation of a marriage and more as a continuation of a family partnership. So while IVF helped end the marriage by intensifying stress and grief, it did not end the underlying goal that drove the process: both still want a child together and believe they can co-parent despite no longer being spouses.

July 17 Instagram footage showed Bunnie Xo touring a lavish new home with friend Matt Matthews days after her divorce from Jelly Roll was finalized earlier this month.
The residence appears to be the compound the former couple had been building together, which Bunnie said Jelly Roll agreed to give her in the settlement because it was especially meaningful to her.
Bunnie, 46, had also said the divorce would end on the "best possible terms" and hinted she would receive financial support; Jelly Roll, 41, publicly denied cheating caused the split.
The pair separated after a Mother's Day falling out and more than a year of poor communication, but have said they remain best friends and still plan to continue their IVF journey together.
