The update comes shortly after the “Need a Favor” singer revealed at the end of 2024 that he lost more than 100 pounds over the course of the year. “Making small, intentional choices daily is a real thing that I have honed in on and that has been so impactful during this process,” he told Billboard of his health and wellness journey. “I think it’s changed my ability to keep up with my progress, since it has been an honest conversation of ‘in that moment’ which one is the better option to stay on track?”’
He also opened up to his wife, Bunnie XO, about the motivation behind his weight loss. “I think that people who become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed,” he said on Bunie’s Dumb Blonde Podcast in December. “They’re so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out and they don’t really know how to interact with the world.
Jelly added, “What I want the world to know, and I want people to see … is that I didn’t become successful because of my weight. I became successful in spite of it. I somehow managed to be this successful carrying 550 pounds. That’s insane.”
Later this month, Jelly Roll is heading out on tour with Post Malone for the 2025 BIG ASS Stadium Tour. See the full list of dates here.

Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie Xo had a whirlwind relationship.
The pair met when she attended one of his Las Vegas concerts in 2015. They dated for a year, then in 2016, he proposed to her onstage during another Las Vegas concert. Instead of having a long engagement, they tied the knot immediately — heading to a courthouse to elope afterwards.
In December 2024, he joined his wife on her Dumb Blonde podcast where he opened up about his weight and his intentions to continue to lose more of it.
“What I want the world to know, and I want people to see … is that I didn’t become successful because of my weight. I became successful in spite of it. I somehow managed to be this successful carrying 550 pounds. That’s insane,” he said.
Jelly Roll, who referred to himself as being “morbidly obese” at the time of the podcast interview with Bunnie Xo, continued to share his ambitions.
“I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026,” he said, noting that it was the first time he ever publicly shared that aspiration. “That’s my new goal. I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.”
Bunnie shared her support for her husband, adding that his goal made her “so giddy.”
