Bunnie Xo Shuts Down Comments That She’s Unfit for IVF

Jelly Roll‘s wife, Bunnie Xo, has a few choice words for social media users who think she’s a poor candidate for in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The country star’s wife hopped on YouTube on Wednesday (July 31) to share an update on her recent health scare, where medical scans revealed that she might have an aneurysm.

That turned out to be a false alarm, according to multiple neurosurgeons, but a few social media users used the saga as an opportunity to discourage Bunnie from pursuing her efforts to have a child via IVF and surrogacy.

“You’re in no shape to be a candidate for IVF,” one comment reads, which Bunnie singled out and responded to in a new social media update.

“[The vascular neurosurgeon] said ‘If you wanna play tackle football you can, if you wanna bungee jump, you can.’ He’s like, ‘Pretty much, I release you back to do whatever it is that sets your soul on fire,'” Bunnie relates. “So that was great news.”

“… So to respond to this garbage comment right here, actually, yes, I am a perfect candidate [for IVF],” she concludes.

All About Jelly Roll + Bunnie Xo’s Decision to Have a Baby

• Jelly and Bunnie first shared the news that they were trying for a baby in early June, although they started the IVF process back in 2019.
• The couple share no biological children, though they’re raising Jelly’s teenage daughter Bailee together.
• Bunnie, who is in her 40s, has said that she suffered multiple pregnancy losses in the past, including an ectopic pregnancy. According to the ACOG, ectopic pregnancies are non-viable pregnancies in which an embryo implants outside the uterus. They can be life-threatening to the person carrying the pregnancy.
• Due to her age and history of pregnancy loss, Jelly and Bunnie are pursuing their goal of expanding their family via IVF and surrogacy.
• Jelly has said that his current weight loss journey is inspired in part by the couple’s hope to become parents together.
