Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO are joyfully sharing his impressive 120-pound weight loss journey on social media. Bunnie XO, who married the “Need a Favor” hitmaker in 2016, recently posted a TikTok video revealing that her husband is noticing more changes to his body beyond the significant weight loss.

The internet personality (real name Alyssa DeFord), 44, mentioned that Jelly Roll (birth name Jason Bradley DeFord), 40, is now growing hair in areas where he didn’t before.

This update follows the country artist’s earlier conversation with E! News, where he expressed his delight at having recently climbed a mountain and appreciating the visible progress in his fitness.

Jelly Roll Shows Off His 120-Lb Weight Loss In Latest Video With His Wife: ‘It’s Great To See That Progress’

“I’ve been with this man almost a decade, Bunnie shared in a TikTok video dated March 11th, which featured the “Son of a Sinner” singer in their kitchen, sporting a jacket with a deep neckline. “And he just sprouted chest hairs.”

In the video segment, Bunnie focused the camera on Jelly’s chest, showcasing the freshly sprouted hair, much to the playful dismay of the Grammy nominee. The couple share two kids; Bailee, 16, and Noah, 8.

One of the latest changes Jelly Roll has experienced is the growth of new body hair. However, this is just a small part of the broader transformation he’s undergone recently.

Since February 2023, the "Save Me" songwriter has made his health a top priority, resulting in a significant weight loss of at least 120 pounds. His dedication to this journey continues to yield impressive results, and he remains committed to improving his well-being.

As the musician dished to E! News recently, "I hiked a mountain the other day."

He added, "There is no way that would have been possible beforehand, so it’s great to see that progress and we still are going."

Jelly Roll, who announced back in November that he had shed 120 pounds as part of his weight loss journey, also shared an inspiring story about his past struggles with his weight. He revealed that in 2018, he weighed over 500 pounds, highlighting the tremendous progress he has made over the last few years.

Alongside his impressive transformation, he opened up about the driving forces that keep him motivated in life. He told the outlet, "It isn't always the case where I feel focused or positive."

He continued,"The things that motivate me and keep me going are the people I have met along the way across the juveniles and rehab centers or prisons along the way. The people that come up to me and bravely share their sobriety date, or a story of something that they've dealt with, or someone they’ve lost."

Fans continue to praise Jelly Roll's progress and health journey, as seen in comments beneath his recent Instagram posts.
