Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo hoping for twins as they start surrogacy journey
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s family could soon double in size.
The musician, legally Jason Bradley DeFord, 41, and his wife Bunnie Xo, legally Alyssa DeFord, 46, have announced they are hoping to welcome twins via surrogacy.
Bunnie shared in her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, that the couple had found “the sweetest woman ever” to carry their twins.
The influencer and podcast host also revealed she is starting IVF treatments to retrieve her eggs.
She wrote that the decision did not come lightly, with the couple having spent the last decade trying to heal.
“Now that we’re finally stable financially and somewhat emotionally after all the healing we’ve done over this decade together, we’re talking about the future – including growing our family,” she wrote.
“With the help of the most unselfish woman willing to carry twins for us, we’ll be able to make our baby dreams come true.”

Jelly Roll and Bunnie already share custody of two children from the country singer’s previous marriage, Bailee Ann, 17 and Noah Buddy, 9.
Bunnie added that she had waited to have children of her own until she met a man she knew would be a good father, which she has found with Jelly Roll.
“Some people frown upon our decision to bring babies into this world at our age,” she wrote, “and I could give a f–k.”
“We’re going to raise these babies in love and give them everything we were never given.”
“I can’t wait to see a piece of me and him running around outside of our bodies.”
The pair’s fertility journey started in 2019, when Bunnie was told her fallopian tubes were blocked.
Even with surgery, carrying a baby herself was still considered a risk, leading them down the surrogacy path.
The pair have stuck by each other’s side through a lot.
Jelly Roll has been open about his troubled past. He was previously jailed in the US aged 14 and later at 23, for various drug and robbery-related charges, respectively..
They often gush over each other in interviews, with the country singer crediting god, music and Bunnie for helping ”save his life.”
