“It’s tough, but you just put it in God’s hands.”
Bunnie Xo is walking through fire with her head held high, and she is letting the world see every step. On her D𝐮mb Blonde podcast, Bunnie sat down with Maury Povich and opened up about her emotional and exhausting IVF journey with Jelly Roll. This is not a neatly packaged celebrity storyline. This is raw, heavy, and honest, and it is exactly why fans have rallied around her like family.
She did not sugarcoat a thing. “It is tough,” she told Maury. “But at the same time, it’s like, you just put it in God’s hands. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt.”
That was not a soundbite. That was a woman sitting in real uncertainty and still choosing faith over fear.
Bunnie, who married Jelly Roll in 2016, already plays mama bear to his two kids, Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy. Now she is hoping for a child of her own with the man she calls her soulmate. That road has been long and full of hormone injections, doctor calls, and a whole lot of heartbreak. Yet somehow she still smiles when she talks about what could be waiting on the other side.
This is not their first time being open about the hard stuff. Jelly Roll made a career out of turning pain into platinum. Now, Bunnie is doing the same and sharing the parts of her life most folks would keep locked up. In March, she posted a tearful video talking about the hormone treatments and the toll they take. Not just physically. They hit emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, too.
“Just so that I can have a little piece of my husband and me,” she said in one of the clips. That line hit like a freight train.
For You
In June, she shared a rare win. She got a phone call from her doctor after five months of waiting. In the video, Bunnie is sobbing and shaking and saying, “God finally said, ‘Here.'” It was not a pregnancy announcement. It was just a step forward. In a fight like this, every inch counts.
This week’s update shows where they are really at. Not just hoping and not just praying. They are fully surrendering. Bunnie made it clear that adoption is not a plan B. It is a door they are both ready to walk through if that is where this road leads. “I’m totally open to adoption too, and so is my husband,” she said. There was no hesitation. Just love.
Maury Povich shared his own story with Bunnie and revealed that he and his wife, Connie Chung, went through the same struggle decades ago. They eventually adopted their son, and he told Bunnie it was the best decision they ever made.
You could hear it in Bunnie’s voice. That same mix of fear and peace and hope and heartbreak. She is not pretending it is easy, and she is not faking strength. She is just standing in it. Real and raw and full of fire.
There are no guarantees in this journey. But one thing is certain. Whatever path they end up on, that child, whether biological or adopted, is going to be loved beyond words.
And when that day comes, you better believe Bunnie will be the one saying, “Told y’all God had this.”
