Bunnie Xo is speaking out after facing a wave of online criticism over her appearance during her IVF journey. The 46-year-old podcast host revealed that hormone treatments caused weight gain, prompting cruel comments from strangers, with some comparing her size to that of her estranged husband, country star Jelly Roll.
She said the remarks led her to stop publicly documenting her fertility treatments for a time, describing the internet as “crazy” and calling the criticism deeply insensitive.
Despite announcing their split earlier this year, Bunnie and Jelly Roll have confirmed they are still pursuing surrogacy together and plan to co-parent if they welcome a child.
Bunnie emphasized that there was no infidelity behind the breakup and described the pair as best friends who remain committed to growing their family, saying they are determined to welcome “Baby DeFord.”
The Dumb Blonde host also opened up about the emotional toll of IVF, revealing that she has lost four embryos during the process. She described the experience as physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting, comparing the uncertainty of hormone treatments to “a slot machine” because every body reacts differently.
Ending on a hopeful note, Bunnie thanked the online IVF community for its support and encouraged others facing fertility struggles to seek out people who understand what they’re going through. She said connecting with women sharing their own journeys has reminded her that no one has to face the process alone.
Bunnie has been candid about her fertility journey for more than a year, previously revealing that she decided to pursue IVF and surrogacy because carrying a pregnancy herself would be considered high risk. While Jelly Roll has two children from previous relationships, the couple has long spoken about wanting to welcome a child together.
Throughout the process, Bunnie has shared updates on hormone treatments, egg retrievals, and the emotional highs and lows of IVF, saying she hopes her honesty helps reduce the stigma surrounding infertility and assisted reproduction.
