Bunnie Xo opened up last summer and let folks know that she and her husband, country music star Jelly Roll, were pursuing a pregnancy via IVF.
The initial response to that news was positive, but there were some on social media who had some disturbing takes on it all. Bunnie took those folks to task but has not said much about the situation since.
Until now.
During her “Dumb Blonde” podcast Thursday, who is the stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children — Bailee Ann, 15, and Noah Buddy, 7 — said she was finally ready to be a mom.
“I’ve helped raise Bailee since she was 7, and I think that also showed me that, hey, I’m not gonna (expletive) up a kid’s life too badly,” she said. “But I feel like I’ve mastered … not mastered, but I feel like I can do this. You know? And I just want a little piece of J and I together.”
It’s a sweet and natural desire for a couple.
Later on in the podcast, though, she revealed her heartbreaking background when it comes to pregnancy.
“I have been pregnant three times in my life,” she said. “When I was 16, I got pregnant the first time I had sex, and I ended that with an abortion because I was scared. I didn’t know what to do. I was a runaway. And that after that, three years after I had an ectopic pregnancy, I had two ectopic pregnancies.”
Because of that, she and Jelly Roll are reportedly hoping for a surrogacy.
