The Emotional Rollercoaster: IVF, Family Life, and the Quest for a Baby
One of the most talked-about and emotional entities in their current life is their desire to have a child together through IVF. Bunnie Xo, who has been incredibly open about the process, has shared the difficult reality of the treatments with her millions of followers.
The couple has faced a challenging journey, with Bunnie previously revealing that she had suffered two ectopic pregnancies and was defending her choice to undergo IVF treatments at age 44.
However, in late 2025, the narrative shifted, with a recent update hinting at a "positive news" development. While the specific outcome of the latest cycle remains private, their transparency has turned their IVF journey into a powerful symbol of hope and perseverance for many couples facing fertility issues. Bunnie has stressed that even with Jelly Roll's demanding touring schedule and her own career, they remain dedicated to this ultimate goal of expanding their immediate family.
Beyond their IVF efforts, the couple's family life revolves around Jelly Roll's two children: teenage daughter Bailee Ann DeFord and younger son Noah Buddy. Bunnie Xo has earned high praise for her role as a stepmother. She and Jelly Roll were granted primary custody of Bailee Ann in 2016, and Bunnie has been a central figure in her life, often sharing candid moments about the challenges and joys of raising a teenager. She has stated that while she has never asked Bailee Ann to call her "mom," she has earned the title through love and dedication.
Infidelity, Vow Renewals, and the Secret to Their Secure Marriage
The relationship between Jason and Alyssa DeFord is far from a typical Hollywood fairytale, which is precisely why their fans are so invested. They met in 2015 at a show in Las Vegas and were married the following year in a simple courthouse ceremony after Jelly Roll proposed onstage at a Yelawolf and Deftones concert.
Despite their deep bond, the marriage has faced significant challenges. Jelly Roll has publicly admitted to being unfaithful early in their marriage, a revelation that required a major effort to rebuild trust. He credits Bunnie Xo's strength and commitment for pulling them through, noting that he now feels "secure" in their marriage after navigating that rough patch.
To celebrate their enduring love and commitment, the couple returned to Las Vegas to renew their vows on their seventh anniversary. The heartfelt vow renewal ceremony, held at A Stained Glass Wedding Chapel, served as a powerful public statement that their marriage, tested by time, fame, and past mistakes, was stronger than ever.
Jelly Roll has often spoken about the one rule that keeps their marriage strong: unwavering honesty. This commitment to being "unfiltered and unapologetic," a theme that mirrors Bunnie's memoir title, is what allows them to tackle difficult subjects like divorce rumors, which Bunnie has explicitly shut down, citing their busy careers and IVF treatments as the cause for any perceived distance.
Bunnie’s New Memoir and Jelly Roll’s Transformation
The year 2025 has been pivotal for both stars individually. Bunnie Xo is preparing for the release of her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, a title that perfectly encapsulates her brand. The book promises to delve into her past as a runaway, her time in the sex work industry, and her ultimate transformation into a successful podcaster and entrepreneur. The announcement of her 2026 book tour highlights the massive public interest in her personal story and her journey from the streets to a life of fame and fortune.
Simultaneously, Jelly Roll has continued his personal transformation, most notably with a significant weight loss journey. Bunnie Xo has become his fiercest defender against social media trolls, shutting down critics who mocked his new look. She emphasized that his weight loss was a two-year process, not a quick fix, underscoring the dedication and hard work he has put into his health, mirroring the effort he puts into his music career and family life.
From walking the red carpet at the 2025 ACM Awards to sharing the most intimate details of their IVF struggles, Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll continue to be a fascinating, complex, and highly influential celebrity couple. Their combined net worth and professional success are undeniable, but it is their raw, honest, and utterly human love story that keeps millions of fans glued to their every update.
