Bunnie XO just had a breakthrough on her fertility journey with Jelly Roll.
In a raw video posted to her Instagram on Monday (June 16), the podcaster tears up while hiding her face in her hands as she talks inaudibly on the phone, seemingly having just received a piece of good news. “When you just got the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months since this ivf journey started,” she wrote.
“All the tears, the hopelessness & the struggle, God finally said, ‘Here,’” Bunnie continued, adding in her caption: “Praise Jesus.”
The social media star and country singer have been trying to conceive through IVF for months. In the comments of her post, Bunnie clarified that she’s not pregnant yet — “We won’t announce that,” she asserted — but they are one big step closer to growing their family.
“This is just a huge win for us,” Bunnie noted.
The Dumb Blonde host has been open about her experience with IVF, documenting the ups and downs on social media. In March, she got real on her podcast about how “lonely” the process can be, sharing, “It’s just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval … It’s a lot to bear.”
Bunnie also recently clapped back at a troll who implied that she is too old to be trying for a baby. The same commenter also wrote that Jelly Roll — who has been open about his weight-loss journey over the past year — is “so unhealthy looking.”
“Yes, I have decided at the ripe age of 45 that I would love to hear the pitter-patter of little feet with the man that I’ve been with for almost a decade,” said Bunnie, who is a stepmom to Jelly’s two kids from past relationships, 17-year-old Bailee Ann and 7-year-old Noah.
“Not only am I financially in a great place to raise a child, but I’m also spiritually and mentally in a great place because I have been in the darkest places before and I drug myself out from the depths of hell,” she added at the time in a video on her Instagram Story. “Did you know that I was pregnant three times before we decided to do this IVF? I am so thankful that God did not let me have a baby when I was 20 years old because that poor child would have been through so much s–t with me. This is the perfect age.”
