Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, are keeping faith as they continue their journey to expand their family.
During a candid conversation with Maury Povich on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Bunnie — whose real name is Alisa DeFord — opened up about her ongoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey and her hopes of becoming a mother.
Bunnie, 40, said, “It is tough, but at the same time, it’s like, you just put it in God’s hands. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt. I’m totally open to adoption too, and so is my husband.”

Povich also reflected on his own journey with his wife, relating it to Bunnie’s experience.
“We went through the same stuff that you and Jelly Roll have gone through,” Povich said.
He recalled his and wife Connie Chung’s fertility struggles, sharing, “We tried to get pregnant. I’m telling you, this is over 30 years ago. So Connie had to take time off from CBS and it became a big story that we were trying to get pregnant.”
“It is tough, but at the same time, it’s like, you just put it in God’s hands.”
Ultimately, the longtime television couple decided to adopt after realizing they “couldn’t do it.”

“That decision was the best I could have made,” Povich said.
Bunnie has documented her fertility journey over the past year, offering fans emotional glimpses into both the struggles and small victories along the way.
