Jelly Roll and wife Bunnie Xo are ready to expand their family.

On the Bussin' With the Boys podcast, Jelly Roll shared that he and Bunnie were interested in having a child together.

"I'll let y'all know if you can keep this part in, but my wife and I are talking about having a baby," he announced.

"It really made me realize at almost 40 that I gotta live until at least 60," Jelly added. He admitted that he used to not envision himself living until 60 years old, assuming he would die "at 55."

"I gotta see this kid into college," he said.

Bunnie shared the clip to her Instagram account, adding text over the video.

"Papabear dropped a surprise on this pod today. We had planned on doing this privately but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we've always been so open," wrote Bunnie, "And with all odds stacked against us, it's already been hard [and] we have only just begun."

"We have been meeting w/ IVF doctors and exploring all our options to add to our family." she continued.

"J & I are SO excited & scared all at the same time. We genuinely never thought we;d want to add to our family but something changed this year & we both just want a piece of us together to add to our already perfect family w/ Bailee & Noah."

Jelly Roll shares daughter Bailee and son Noah with an ex-girlfriend. He and Bunnie eloped in 2016 -just one year after meeting at a concert in Las Vegas.

"So, here we go y'all! Send all your love our way," Bunnie concluded with a heart emoji.

The Instagram post is captioned "God Willing- Baby DeFord 2026," complete with a sparkling emoji and a tag to the Bussin' With the Boys podcast.

Jelly Roll is staying true to his namesake with a new partnership with Dunkin' Donuts ahead of National Donut Day on Friday, June 7.

In a video announcing a special free donut deal for the "holiday," Jelly Roll told fans that his stage name is "because of these little guys right here," holding a jelly donut in hand.

"Growing up, doughnuts were truly my kryptonite. My mama used to tell me all the time I was so sweet, I could open up my own Dunkin'," he continued. He then made another loving tribute to his wife in the form of a donut-dunking technique.

"The first one I affectionately named after my wife. I call this the 'Bunnie Dunk,'" he said before "hopping" his donut over to his cup of coffee. He also showed off the "Nash Smash," which is actually just the act of violently smashing a donut, not dunking it.

"Happy national donut day y'all...remember life's better with a little jelly in it, baby," he concluded.
