Jelly Roll and Machine Gun Kelly have released a new music video featuring Meghan Fox as a pregnant woman giving birth.
The video also highlights Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO’s struggle with infertility, a situation the couple speaks openly about and also experiences in real life.
Fox’s role has sparked speculation about whether she is actually pregnant.
In the official music video for “Lonely Road,” released on July 25, Jelly Roll (real name Jason Deford) and Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) portray themselves as struggling financially. Fox, who appears to be pregnant in the video, and Machine Gun Kelly have medical bills to pay. Meanwhile, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO mourn a report stating “Diagnosis of infertility.”
Last month, Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll announced they were trying to conceive their first baby through IVF. “We had planned to do this privately, but we decided we needed to share our IVF experience because we’ve always been so open,” Bunnie XO wrote on Instagram. “And with all the odds against us, it’s been tough and we’ve only just begun.”
In the music video, Machine Gun Kelly presents Jelly Roll with a plan to get her family out of debt: they should commit a crime.
Jelly Roll refuses, saying, “I can’t go back that way.” Machine Gun Kelly replies, “Then look after me tomorrow.”
The video then shows Machine Gun Kelly robbing a bank and getting arrested. It then cuts to “8 months later” and introduces Fox and Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO to a little girl (referred to as Violet Leika in the video).
The themes of the video are relevant to both couples.
Bunnie XO, host of the “Dumb Blonde Podcast,” is stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children, Bailee Ann, 16, and Noah Buddy, 7, from previous relationships.
In November 2023, Fox published a book of poetry titled “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” in which she described a miscarriage. Fox has three children with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green: Noah (11), Bodhi (10), and Journey (7). Machine Gun Kelly is the father of teenage daughter Casie, whom he has with his ex Emma Cannon.
