Throughout his career, Jelly Roll has been honest with fans about the challenges in his personal life, from his ongoing weight loss efforts to his former incarcerations. Now the 40-year-old country star is opening up about the IVF “journey” he’s currently on with wife Bunnie Xo, 44.
Jelly updated fans on the couple’s family-expansion plans while chatting with Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards this week.
“We’re right in the middle of the journey,” the “I Am Not Okay” singer said.
“For all of our friends out there who have been supporting and praying for us that know the journey we are on, y’all know how hard it is, thanks for praying for us,” he continued, adding, “We’re still trying.”
This isn’t the first time Jelly or Bunnie has spoken out about their hopes to have a child together.
In March, the Dumb Blonde podcast host talked about her experience with IVF in a TikTok video.
“I’m literally going through IVF treatments right now — the hormones, the shots, all that,” she said. “I’m going through all of the emotions, the rollercoaster, the worry, just so that I can have a little piece of my husband and me — just a little piece wrapped in skin — to just add to the other two beautiful children that we have together.”
Jelly is the father of two older children from other relationships: Bailee Ann, 16, and Noah Buddy, 8.
