On the episode aired June 18, Bunnie, aged 46, spoke candidly about the situation, stating that despite their decision to end their marriage, they are excited about welcoming their baby, affectionately referred to as “little Nugget.” Bunnie assured her listeners that the divorce was not borne of infidelity or bad blood but was simply a matter of recognising that they had served their purpose for one another.
Describing their relationship as “the most unconventional couple,” Bunnie highlighted the strong friendship that remains between them. She explained, “J is my best friend. Like, this isn’t what you guys think this is.” The couple, she says, are committed to raising their child together, showcasing their priority to ensure happiness and cooperation in this new chapter of their lives.
Bunnie also reflected on the difficult road they faced in trying to conceive, revealing plans they had to become parents prior to the decision to separate. Their attempts to conceive included losing four embryos, experiences which she described as devastating, impacting her emotionally and physically. Recognising the challenges they faced, Bunnie noted a bond forged through trauma, stating, “In a way, I kind of think J and I are trauma-bonded.”
As she unraveled the details of their parting, Bunnie revealed that tensions had escalated on Mother’s Day, leading to a significant argument. In a moment of frustration, she suggested Jelly Roll file for divorce, a suggestion he acted upon, albeit reluctantly. Bunnie later admitted that while her emotions were running high, the decision to divorce was not mutual and had blindsided her.
The podcaster expressed regret over not previously seeking therapy to resolve their issues, suggesting that deeper discussions might have navigated them toward a different resolution. Despite the ordeal, she declared that they are settling their divorce on the best terms possible, showing maturity in their approach to ending their partnership.
Bunnie announced plans to move to their shared home alongside their child, expressing eager anticipation for the journeys ahead as a parent. “I’m so excited to live my life through a child’s eyes,” she proclaimed. “This baby journey, I’m not going to let it break me.” Bunnie affirmed that Jelly Roll remains immensely supportive of their efforts to co-parent effectively.
The couple’s decision to have children had been a long-held dream. Bunnie highlighted their intent to use her eggs along with Jelly’s sperm in their fertility journey, which they began in late 2019, with aspirations of twins. Bunnie expressed her hope for their future children to have all the love and opportunities that she feels they were denied in their own childhoods.
Through this challenging chapter, Bunnie Xo is navigating her roles as both a soon-to-be mother and a partner in co-parenting. While their romantic relationship may be changing, the commitment to nurture and support their upcoming child remains steadfast. “We’re going to raise these babies in love and give them everything we were never given,” she stated optimistically.
As this unique journey unfolds for both Bunnie and Jelly Roll, their story stands as a testament to adapting and reshaping family dynamics. With a focus on fostering a loving environment for their child, they are poised to embrace new roles and responsibilities, demonstrating that, even in the face of change, a united front remains possible.
