Jelly Roll Reveals Difficult Family Struggle
Throughout his career, Jelly Roll has been honest with fans about the challenges in his personal life, from his ongoing weight loss efforts to his former incarcerations. Now the 40-year-old country star is opening up about the IVF "journey" he's currently on with wife Bunnie Xo, 44.
Jelly updated fans on the couple's family-expansion plans while chatting with Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards this week.
"We're right in the middle of the journey," the "I Am Not Okay" singer said.
"For all of our friends out there who have been supporting and praying for us that know the journey we are on, y'all know how hard it is, thanks for praying for us," he continued, adding, "We're still trying."
This isn't the first time Jelly or Bunnie has spoken out about their hopes to have a child together.
In March, the Dumb Blonde podcast host talked about her experience with IVF in a TikTok video.
"I'm literally going through IVF treatments right now - the hormones, the shots, all that," she said. "I'm going through all of the emotions, the rollercoaster, the worry, just so that I can have a little piece of my husband and me - just a little piece wrapped in skin - to just add to the other two beautiful children that we have together."
Jelly is the father of two older children from other relationships: Bailee Ann, 16, and Noah Buddy, 8.

Breaking news in pajamas: Hood Anchor Ye's unique style captivates Atlanta audiences
The Brief Hood Anchor Ye, a social media personality with nearly 100,000 followers, is gaining attention in Atlanta for his raw and personal style of news reporting, connecting with audiences who typically don't watch traditional news. Ye's unique reporting style, often featuring him in casual attire like bathrobes and durags, has earned him millions of views, and he covers crime scenes and public safety incidents with humor and honesty. Motivated by personal tragedies, Ye aims to emotionally connect viewers to local events, and his work has been recognized by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens for its unique approach to community storytelling. ATLANTA - With nearly 100,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, a local social media personality known as Hood Anchor Ye is making waves in the Atlanta news scene—offering breaking coverage with a raw, personal style that's connecting with audiences who don't typically watch the news. What we know Ye, who has been seen reporting from the same scenes as professional news crews, said the idea started unexpectedly in January. While stuck in traffic on Interstate 75 during a police standoff with a man threatening to jump from a bridge, he began filming what he saw and narrated it like a breaking news report. That video quickly gained traction online—and turned into a full-time career. What they're saying "People, they DM me, they text me," Ye said. "So as soon as they hit me, I'm driving straight there. You know, I am from the city, so as soon I know where it's at, I go on the bad roads. I ain't running no lights or no stop signs or nothing, but you know I might speed a little bit," he said with a grin. His signature reporting style—often in a bathrobe, pajamas, or durag—has earned him millions of views. "I got the robe, I got my pajamas, I got like doo rag, I've got all that," Ye said. "And I just recently just added the tie just to be a little professional." From crime scenes to public safety incidents, Ye shows up, speaks to police and bystanders, and shares what he learns in real time—sometimes with humor, always with honesty. "I really just say what's the first thing that come to my mind. And if it's a curse word, it's a curse word," he said. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ye began following the news just six months ago. But a string of personal tragedies—including the death of his best friend in a car crash and that friend's brother in a shooting—deepened his sense of purpose. "It's like the same stuff that these families going through, like I already done been through," he said. "Having to pull up and then you know you see your little one laying out on the ground—I done been through that, you know what I'm saying?" Now, he hopes his reports not only inform but connect viewers emotionally to what's happening in their city. "I just thank God... to be in position to even, you know, be legit and just, you know, do something that I love doing," Ye said. "Like this journalism—like I love doing this." One major highlight? Meeting Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who praised Ye's work and his unique approach to community storytelling. The Source FOX 5's Alexa Liacko spoke with Hood Anchor Ye for this article.

Hagan would like another victory at hometown track this weekend
Bristol, TN — The roar of thunder will be heard in Bristol this weekend for the 24th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on June 6-8. The Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals will once again deliver an incredible sensory overload with 12,000-horsepower nitro burning machines blazing down the track – and through the mountains – at more than 330 mph. 42-year-old Virginia native Matt Hagan, a 4-time series champion who drives for Tony Stewart, only trails Jack Beckman and Austin Prock in points, and claims Bristol as his home track since he only lives 104 miles. 'This is one of the most special wins I've ever had. Was at Bristol Motor Father's Day. And, you know, they always say not one in here. Star. And I was so emotional having my parents here, my dad here, like just my family. I mean, I cried, like, chased him down. I did like Bristol ranks up. There was one of the most special tracks because it was back then. We raced on Father's Day weekend. It's one that I'll always remember, and I hope to get a few more Bristol wins before we get out of here. There's some tracks in that I've had 4 or 5 six wins on, and I've only got one here in Bristol, so I think, you know, it's time to make a full circle and, and get, get another win here this weekend.' The Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway are from June 6-8. Remember, every ticket is a pit pass. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

New York police arrest 'social media prankster' who dumped food on himself at local businesses
CENTEREACH, N.Y. (AP) — Police in the suburbs of New York City have arrested who they described as a ' social media prankster' over viral videos in which he dumps heaps of food on his head and runs away, leaving others to clean up his mess. Kyle Vazquez, 21, was arrested in Centereach, on Long Island, on Monday. He was charged on eight counts, including six counts related to recording people without their consent and two counts of criminal tampering, police said. The Coram resident pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday and was released pending his next court date on June 30, according to prosecutors and court records. Suffolk County police say Vazquez dumped a tub of eggs on his head in front of a Ralph's Italian Ices in Centereach on April 29. He then fled in a car, leaving a mess of broken eggshells in the entranceway, police said. Vazquez pulled a similar stunt at a Chinese eatery in town the next day, pouring a bucket of beans over his head while standing shirtless in the middle of the establishment. Then in May, Vazquez visited three homes and asked the residents if he could use the bathroom. He then created a disturbance and filmed residents without their knowledge or consent, police said. Vazquez posted videos of the stunts, along with many others, on his TikTok account, which has more than 100,000 followers. The Legal Aid Society of Suffolk County, which is representing Vazquez, didn't respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday.
