Country-rap star Jelly Roll and his wife, media personality Bunnie XO, just made the announcement fans have been waiting years to hear. In an emotional Instagram video, Jelly Roll held back tears as he revealed, “We’ve waited for this moment for so long.” The couple is expecting their third child—a baby boy—after nearly two decades of love, challenges, and triumph.

The news sent shockwaves through their fanbase, many of whom have followed their unique love story from the beginning. Bunnie XO, glowing in a soft blue gown, confirmed the gender during an extravagant reveal event held in Nashville. The party reportedly cost over $500,000 and featured live music, drone fireworks, and a custom blue waterfall.

The couple’s announcement was met with an outpouring of love from fans and fellow celebrities. Stars like Jelly Roll’s tourmate Lainey Wilson and rapper Yelawolf posted their congratulations online. One follower wrote, “This isn’t just a baby—this is proof that healing, redemption, and real love are possible.”

Jelly Roll has been open about his troubled past, including struggles with addiction and time spent in juvenile detention. Many fans see this moment as a full-circle celebration—from jail cells to nursery rooms. He stated, “This boy will never have to grow up the way I did. That’s the promise I’ve made.”

Bunnie XO, a devoted stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two previous children, expressed how deeply she has longed for this moment. “We prayed, we tried, we failed—and we never gave up,” she said on her podcast. Their journey to parenthood hasn’t been easy, which makes this announcement even more emotional.

Photos from the gender reveal party flooded Instagram within hours. The event included a performance from Jelly Roll himself, surrounded by blue smoke cannons and crying relatives. Some critics raised eyebrows at the event’s lavish cost, but fans defended the couple’s right to celebrate in style.

“This baby is already so loved,” Bunnie wrote in the caption of a family photo, her hand resting on her growing bump. “No amount of money compares to the gratitude we feel right now.” Jelly Roll simply commented, “Everything I ever prayed for—times three.”

As the due date approaches, fans are speculating on names, nursery designs, and whether Bunnie will share parts of the pregnancy journey online. Given her massive podcast audience and transparent persona, many expect candid updates. Until then, one thing is certain: this baby is already a superstar in the making.
