Jelly Roll’s Weight Loss Transformation Through the Years: Photos
Jelly Roll has been on a mission to lose weight.
“Next year when y’all see me you won’t recognize me,” the country star (real name Jason DeFord) said in an October 2024 Instagram video, revealing he’s lost more than 100 pounds. “I’m going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never have.”
To slim down, Jelly Roll overhauled his diet and started exercising more. He frequently did boxing and basketball drills backstage while on his Beautifully Broken Tour and often took walks around the arenas.
The musician previously struggled with his weight, and he’s been candid about how online backlash bothered him.
“My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f—ing weight,” Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, said on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast in April 2024. “And, like, that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby. My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m gonna have a very vulnerable moment here — it hurts him.”
