Bunnie Xo said on Aug. 20 that she still wants to have a baby one month after the Bunnie Xo Jelly Roll split with wife was finalized. The update keeps her family plan in motion even as she says the breakup has left her thriving.
Aug. 20 on Today
“So I definitely still want to have a baby,” Bunnie Xo said during her Aug. 20 appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle. She added, “That’s going to be one of my newest chapters of my next book,” and said she “can’t wait for you guys to read about it because it’s been one hell of a journey, let me tell you.”
That is the clearest public update she has given since the divorce was finalized one month earlier. She did not say on Aug. 20 whether the baby plan still involved Jelly Roll, leaving the practical next step tied to how she writes that chapter into her book.
June 18 on Dumb Blonde
On June 18, she had already told listeners on Dumb Blonde, “We’re still having a baby,” and outlined a plan that included IVF and a surrogate. She also said, “We have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered. We’re going to co-parent together.”
That earlier statement mattered because it showed the family plan survived the breakup in May rather than ending with it. For readers tracking the story, the August update is less a reversal than a sharper version of the same timeline: the plan is still alive, but the route is no longer spelled out.
Nearly 10 Years After August 2016
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll were married for nearly 10 years after tying the knot in August 2016, and they started their journey to grow their family in 2024. She said they remain on good terms and have referred to each other as best friend, which helps explain why the divorce has not translated into a hard public reset.
She also said she is “thriving” and having “the freaking time of my life” being single, while adding that there are “much bigger accomplishments to celebrate than her love life.” That mix of ambition and distance is the real story here: she is talking about a future child and a next book at the same time, not treating either as mutually exclusive.
For now, the open question is simple: whether the baby plan still points toward Jelly Roll or toward a different path after the split. Her Aug. 20 comments make one thing clear — the goal is still on the table, and she is already writing from inside the next phase.
