Jelly Roll, the popular country music artist, is embracing a new look after significant weight loss. The 40-year-old singer has shed more than 200 pounds in the last two years, prompting him to consider a major change—shaving his beard for the first time in nearly a decade.
Transformation and Surprises
In a recent Instagram video, Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, 45, expressed her excitement over the transformation. “I’ve been with my husband for going on 10 years now. I have never seen this man without his facial hair,” she said, emphasizing the surprise that his new look would bring.
She quipped about the humor in surprising women who may feel “catfished” by their partners’ facial hair. Bunnie added, “We want to see that jawline now that he’s also skinny.”
Shaving Experience
Jelly Roll humorously mentioned during the shaving process, “We know we’re gonna have to get some skin cut here,” while pointing to his chest. As the couple documented the process, he first opted for a goatee, which Bunnie praised as looking “really good.”
Later, he tried a “cop stache” that also garnered positive feedback. Ultimately, he decided on a completely shaven look. “The total naked face, it’s not terrible,” Bunnie noted, laughing. They later shared his new look with friends and family through FaceTime calls.
Weight Loss Journey
Jelly Roll’s decision to change his appearance comes after a transformative weight loss journey. Previously weighing around 550 pounds, he has boldly discussed his struggles and motivations to lose weight on platforms like Stephanie McMahon’s What’s Your Story podcast. He shared, “When you spend your whole life being obese, your first instinct isn’t ‘I wanna be big.’ It’s like I want to actually get smaller.”
Jelly Roll’s ambitions include weighing under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school. He aims to achieve this milestone by SummerSlam 2025, where he is scheduled to participate in a match with Randy Orton.
Conclusion
As Jelly Roll continues his transformative journey, his fans eagerly await the full reveal of his new look. With Bunnie’s support and their lighthearted approach to change, the couple remains a source of positivity in the face of personal challenges.
