Jelly Roll’s Wife Keeps Him Grounded After Weight Loss
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie, seems to play a big role in ensuring her husband’s personality remains unchanged, even post-weight loss. Recently, a TikTok video captured a playful moment between the couple, showcasing their affectionate dynamic. In the clip, Bunnie can be seen leaning against a wall, playfully interacting with Jelly Roll before sharing a sweet kiss.
Bunnie humorously noted in the video, “After all the weight loss, when you need to make sure he’s still your squish.” It really speaks to how they keep the fun alive in their relationship.
Both of them were dressed in all black, with Jelly Roll sporting a baseball cap to match. Bunnie accented her look with long braids and a black-and-white flannel tied at her waist.
Bunnie’s lighthearted caption read, “Bestie #jellyandbunnie.”
The singer started his journey to better health in December 2022, sharing at the 2023 CMA Awards that he discovered a “will to live.” Rather than aiming for specific weight goals, he focuses on making choices that help him feel good.
“When you need to check and make sure he’s still your squish after losing weight.” – Bunnie
A year later, he made his first red carpet appearance after shedding 100 pounds during the 2024 CMA Awards, alongside Bunnie. At that time, he told Fox News Digital that he lost somewhere between 50 and 70 pounds just by training for a 5K.
Reflecting on his progress, Jelly Roll mentioned, “When I started trying to do this in January, I couldn’t walk a mile. So the fact that we got the three things that were done today felt really, really good.”
In conversations later, Jelly Roll described his health struggles as tied to a “food addiction.” He opened up about how this shift impacted his relationship with food over the years. Adopting a more disciplined approach became crucial, leading to significant changes in his lifestyle.
He added that the camaraderie developed during tours also supported his healthier choices, with the entire team moving to embrace better eating options and active pastimes like basketball.
A notable moment in his journey occurred in April 2025 when Jelly Roll revealed that he had lost nearly 200 pounds. In a public appearance, he expressed, “I started with 540 pounds. I’m 357 this morning, I’m a baby. I’m going to lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife!”
In a light-hearted moment shared with the Tennessee Titans, he jokingly mentioned that if he lost another 50 pounds, he’d join the team, quipping, “I’m on a contract.” He also discussed on his wife’s podcast why he decided to go public about his weight loss voyage—he aimed to reduce the stigma surrounding such struggles.
Jelly Roll articulated a relatable concern: “People who get bigger like me, lose weight, it makes them a bit embarrassed. They felt they looked or were different, and that reintroduction to the world can be challenging.” He aspires to be featured on the cover of a men’s health magazine by March 2026, symbolizing one of his biggest transformative changes.
