Jelly Roll’s Body Changes Dramatically After 140-Lb Loss. He has taken on an amazing weight loss journey over the last few years, and the changes in his body go way beyond just the numbers on the scale.
In a recent TikTok video, Bunnie Xo, the wife of the “Son of a Sinner” artist, shared a surprising change in her husband’s look that caught her off guard.
Bunnie Xo confessed that after nearly ten years of marriage, she never expected to see her husband sporting chest hair. “I’ve been with this man almost a decade and he just sprouted chest hairs,” she wrote in the caption of a video showing Jelly Roll in a low-cut jacket in their kitchen.
In the video, Bunnie Xo playfully zooms in on Jelly Roll’s new body hair, which leads to some lighthearted banter from him. “Get off my hair,” he joked while zipping up his jacket, adding with a laugh, “Don’t show my cleavage!”
The couple shared a good laugh over the moment, but Bunnie Xo was still amazed by his new chest hair, exclaiming, “When did you get hair on your chest? What is happening?”
Since he decided to focus on his health in February 2023, Jelly Roll has made some big lifestyle changes and has successfully shed an impressive 140 pounds so far.
The artist, who goes by Jason Bradley DeFord, used to tip the scales at over 500 pounds, but he’s since pulled off some incredible achievements that once felt out of reach thanks to his weight loss journey.

In a recent chat with E! News, he couldn’t hide his excitement about conquering a mountain. “I hiked a mountain the other day. Camelback,” he said, pointing to a well-known hiking spot in Arizona.
“Honestly, accomplishing something like that would have seemed impossible before, so it’s amazing to see this progress, and we’re just going to keep pushing forward.”
When talking about what keeps him motivated, he shared, “There are days when I don’t feel particularly focused or optimistic. What really drives me are the people I’ve met along the way—whether in juvenile facilities, rehab centers, or prisons.”
He added, “The folks who come up to me and bravely share their sobriety dates or talk about their own struggles and losses really inspire me.”
In a December 2024 episode of his wife’s podcast “Dumb Blonde,” Jelly Roll opened up about a weight loss goal he had only shared with her before.
“I want to be on the cover of Men’s Health by March 2026,” he revealed. “That’s my new target. I’m aiming for one of the biggest transformations.”
The “Need a Favor” artist admitted that putting such a personal goal out there was tough but intentional. “I decided to share this publicly for a reason,” he explained. “I want to be open about my struggles with others.”
He reflected on the journey of those who, like him, have experienced significant weight loss, saying, “People who reach a size like I did often feel a deep sense of shame.”
“They get so embarrassed that they isolate themselves to lose the weight, and when they finally come back, they might find it hard to connect with the world again, having to navigate their new identity.”
