The podcaster explained why on the most recent episode of Dumb Blonde. Posted on June 18, Bunnie Xo said that despite the "Save Me" singer filing for divorce, nothing is "going to deter" her from being a mother.
IVF Has Been Tough for Bunnie Xo
Despite their estrangement, Bunnie XO says she and Jelly Roll are still planning to have a baby together.
"We're just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family," she added.
But the journey has been difficult for both Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll. The podcaster shared that she is undergoing in vitro fertilization, or IVF, a series of complex procedures that can (hopefully) lead to a pregnancy.
However, Bunnie Xo says the journey to parenthood has been one of the "loneliest, darkest" that she has ever been on.
"Yes, everybody gets to see the reward at the end, but it is not all bells and whistles. It is not a beautiful journey. It completely wrecked me," she added.
Blame It On the Hormones
Bunnie Xo also shared that Jelly Roll had a low sperm count, causing the couple to be on "hormones" at the same time. It made things a little messy at home.
Add to that the "heartbreaking" loss of four embryos amid three embryo transfers, and it's been a "gut-wrenching" few months.
"You get so mad at God, because you're like, 'Why is it so easy for people who don't deserve children to just be able to just pop them out?'" she said.
All of this "took a toll" on the couple. Bunnie Xo said that she and Jelly Roll are "trauma-bonded at this point."
But things came to a head on Mother's Day when the couple had an argument.
"And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f*****g divorce papers.'"
On May 18, Jelly Roll did just that. He talked about Bunnie Xo's episode during a live show this week.
"Me and my wife are best friends," he said. "We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today. Nobody cheated on nobody."
He added, "You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever. This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunny, I love you, baby. Thank you for those 10 years. They were incredible. Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that."
