Country music star Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, have shared the heartwarming news that they are expecting their third child\u2014a baby boy. The announcement, made on June 17, 2025, has sent waves of joy through their fanbase, with social media platforms buzzing with congratulations and well-wishes for the couple. After nearly two decades together, the couple, already parents to a daughter, Bailee Ann, 16, and a son, Noah Buddy, 7, are thrilled to expand their family once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, took to Instagram to share the emotional moment, writing, \u201cWe\u2019ve waited years for this moment\u2026 God has blessed us with another miracle.\u201d The post included a tender video of Bunnie, visibly moved, holding a positive pregnancy test as Jelly Roll embraced her, both beaming with joy. The couple\u2019s openness about their fertility struggles, particularly their in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey, has made this announcement even more poignant for fans who have followed their story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple first revealed their plans to pursue IVF in June 2024, sharing the challenges and emotional rollercoaster of the process. Bunnie, host of the \u201cDumb Blonde\u201d podcast, has been candid about her health struggles, including severe side effects from fertility treatments that led her to consider pausing IVF earlier in 2025. \u201cIt\u2019s been hellacious,\u201d she said on her podcast, describing symptoms like pain, nausea, and cold sweats. Despite these hardships, their perseverance paid off, and Bunnie recently celebrated a \u201chuge milestone\u201d in their journey, which she clarified was not a pregnancy announcement at the time but a step forward in their IVF process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent interview with HELLO!<\/em>, Bunnie shared their hopes for the future, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re on the fence about having twins. We think we want twin boys, but we\u2019re not sure yet. We don\u2019t plan on implanting until February 2025.\u201d However, it seems fate had other plans, as the couple\u2019s announcement came earlier than anticipated, confirming a single baby boy due later this year. This will be their first biological child together, with Bunnie serving as a devoted stepmother to Jelly Roll\u2019s children from previous relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jelly Roll and Bunnie\u2019s love story, which began in 2015 at one of his Las Vegas concerts, has captivated fans with its authenticity and resilience. Married since 2016, the couple has faced public scrutiny, including rumors about their relationship, but has consistently shut down critics with their unwavering support for each other. Bunnie recently addressed \u201copen marriage\u201d rumors, stating, \u201cWe have free will, but that\u2019s a huge difference from an open relationship.\u201d Their bond, built on mutual respect and shared dreams, shines through in moments like this announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The couple\u2019s fans have flooded social media with heartfelt messages. One X user wrote, \u201cJelly and Bunnie deserve all the happiness! This baby boy is already so loved.\u201d Another commented, \u201cAfter everything they\u2019ve been through, this is such a blessing. Congrats!\u201d The couple\u2019s philanthropic efforts and message of hope have endeared them to millions, making this personal milestone a shared celebration for their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As they prepare to welcome their son, Jelly Roll and Bunnie continue to balance their busy careers. Jelly Roll is currently on tour with Post Malone, while Bunnie\u2019s podcast and social media presence inspire countless followers. Their farm, home to rescue animals like miniature donkeys, is also set to become a \u201cluxury stay,\u201d reflecting their growing dreams. This baby boy, a symbol of their enduring love and faith, will undoubtedly be welcomed into a home filled with warmth, music, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the full story of their IVF journey and more, visit People<\/em> or HELLO!<\/em> online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO Announce Third Child: A Baby Boy on the Way Country music star Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, have … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"\nA Love Story That Inspires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
