“We’re still having a baby together”
Despite the split, Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, said the couple plans to continue their IVF journey.
“So we’re the most unconventional couple you’ve ever encountered. We’re going to co-parent together. J is my best friend. Like, this isn’t what you think this is. No one has cheated on the other. It’s literally just that we’ve served our purpose for each other,” Bunnie said.

During the nearly hour-long episode, she said they tried to conceive several times and had lost four embryos during three transfer attempts, including two sets of twins they had hoped to carry.
“J and I lost four embryos. We’ve had three transfers. But we lost the two twins we wanted to have, and then we lost the other two. And for anyone who goes through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it’s heartbreaking. It’s so heartbreaking.”

The argument that led to divorce
Bunnie said a Mother’s Day argument ultimately led to the filing. “On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument. And during that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, file the divorce papers,'” she recalled.
“In our relationship, that’s the one thing you don’t say. But when I say it, it really carries weight because I’m not the type of person to say what I don’t mean.”

Bunnie said, “It’s happening. But I think the most important thing here is that everyone needs to understand why this is happening, where this is coming from and what we do going forward because that’s the most important thing.”
“I think everyone is so stuck in our past and what we built together.”

“Being happy and healthy and therefore being best friends is probably, I think, the greatest gift that we could have given each other. And you know, so I’m going to try to do this as tactfully as possible. Um, because I’m going to take the high road,” she added.
She also described the divorce proceedings as unusually quick. “My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best terms possible so that you can one day get a divorce. We did it in two or three weeks,” she said.
