Jelly Roll shared that he and his wife Bunnie XO have planned to have kids through IVF process

On Tuesday's episode of the podcast, singer and rapper Jelly Roll said,

"My wife and I are talking about having a baby, and it really made me realize that at almost 40, I was like, it means I got to live to at least 60. I got to see this kid into college."

The rapper further added,

"My plan was never to be 60. It was to be like 55. I think [the Grateful Dead lead singer Jerry] Garcia died at 56. I was young, so I was like, ’56 would be great for me! …"

He continued,

"It’s better than 27 when all the other stars died. It’s 27 or 56 in the celebrity world. Let me be 56.’ But now I’m like, ‘I’d like to see my 60s.’ You know what I mean? And that really lit it up."

Meanwhile, Jelly Roll's wife Bunnie posted on Instagram that they wanted to be open to the public since they have always been quite transparent about everything related to their lives.

She further mentioned that the couple is now consulting with several doctors to explore the options and possibilities. The couple are both "scared and excited" as revealed by Bunnie XO in the Instagram post that went up on June 5.

Bunnie further shared that the couple did not have plans of having biological children in the first place. She mentioned that they have decided to "add a piece of themselves" to the existing family with Noah and Bailee.

Jelly Roll has previously stated in an interview in April on 105.7 The Point, that Bailee's birth in 2008, positively changed his life. It has been reported that the day she was born, Roll was in jail for dealing drugs. While the couple expressed their love for the kids, they avoid posting them too much on the internet, to respect their privacy.
