Bunnie XO Opens Up About ‘Lonely’ IVF Journey

Bunnie XO is opening up about the lesser known emotions of IVF.

In a new episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the star got vulnerable about her emotions as she goes through the process of trying to conceive a child with her husband, Jelly Roll. She compared the process to “slot machine in Vegas” due to its unpredictable outcome.

“Honestly, when I was going through this, I realized how lonely of a journey IVF is. It’s very lonely. And granted, you have people surrounding you, and like, you know, hopefully if you’re going through it, you have, you know, friends, family who love you and know you’re going through it,” she explained. “But at the same time, it’s just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval. And like, you’re the only person who can go through that, you know? So it’s a lot to bear.”

Bunnie previously opened up about her IVF journey on a July episode of her podcast. “I’m in my baby mama gardening era,” she joked, adding that Jelly said he would “love” to have a baby with her. “That was not the response that I thought he would say,” she admitted, noting that he’s “so excited” about the possibility of having children together.

The couple first met back in 2015, when Bunnie watched Jelly Roll perform at Sin City’s Country Saloon in Las Vegas. They tied the knot a year later, in August 2016. Bunnie is the stepmother to Jelly’s 15-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann, and eight-year-old son, Noah.
