He’s been intentional with his health, adopting a new lifestyle because he wants to watch his kids grow up. “My wife and I are talking about having a baby, and it really made me realize that at almost 40, I was like, it means I got to live to at least 60. I got to see this kid into college,” he said, brimming with determination.

Bunnie, showing her unwavering support for her 39-year-old partner, also shared, “We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open.” This candidness has endeared them even more to their fans, who are now on the edge of their seats, waiting for more updates.
In a heartwarming joint Instagram post, the couple shared a “before” photo of Jelly Roll, dressed in a black hoodie, cap, and shorts, with the words “I dropped those” emblazoned across the image, proudly referring to the 60 pounds he shed. They captioned it with, “God Willing- Baby DeFord 2026 @bussinwtb,” hinting at their hope to welcome their new baby by 2026, provided the IVF process goes smoothly.

For those not in the know, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a procedure where eggs are extracted from a woman’s ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and then implanted into the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy. It’s a beacon of hope for many couples facing fertility issues.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Already Have a Busy Household
The “Need A Favor” singer and his wife have already built a beautiful blended family. Jelly Roll has two kids from previous relationships – his 16-year-old daughter Bailee Ann and his almost 8-year-old son Noah Buddy. Bunnie has stepped up as an incredible stepmom, creating strong, loving bonds with both kids.
The couple have full custody of Bailee following her biological mother’s struggles with addiction, though Bailee and her mom are now working on rebuilding their relationship.
Fans have praised Bunnie for her loving relationship with Jelly Roll’s son Noah, often seen sharing playful moments and making TikTok videos together.
Jelly Roll himself is always in awe of his wife’s nurturing qualities. On one memorable Mother’s Day, he took to Instagram to gush about her, writing, “It takes a special kind of woman to raise a kid that isn’t her child and still treat the child as if she was.”
As the journey unfolds, fans everywhere are rooting for Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO, eagerly awaiting every update. Will their dream of expanding their family come true? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – this power couple is ready to take on the challenge, and we’re all here for the ride!
