Jelly Roll is on a roll when it comes to his health and fitness journey.
The country superstar joined Pat McAfee onstage at the latter’s Big Night Ah live show on Wednesday, night (April 9), where he revealed that he lost nearly 200 pounds over the course of his recent weight loss journey. “I started at 540 pounds and I was 357 pounds this morning,” the Grammy-nominated singer told the crowd, who cheered at the accomplishment as Jelly Roll showed off his muscles. He then added, “I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!”
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.
