Jelly Roll & Bunnie Xo Defy Legal Advice on Future Child

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have consciously opted to disregard their legal counsel's advice regarding the pursuit of having children together after their separation. Court documents reveal that both parties were separately advised about the complexities and potential consequences associated with reproduction during a marriage dissolution, especially given advancements in reproductive technology and case law.

Both artists, Jason DeFord (Jelly Roll) and Alisa DeFord (Bunnie Xo), acknowledged that their legal representatives are not specialists in genetic and reproductive rights. They were explicitly directed to obtain independent counsel from qualified experts but have chosen not to do so.

This decision follows their divorce finalization on July 17, 2026, after a decade of marriage. Their separation involved an equitable division of assets, including homes, vehicles, and intellectual properties. Jelly Roll also made a confidential lump-sum payment, waiving any future alimony claims.

Bunnie had previously spoken about their shared desire to have a child, detailing their past struggles with IVF. She shared the emotional impact of losing four embryos and expressed a deep desire to conceive twins with Jelly Roll, aiming to raise them in a loving environment.
