Country Star’s Red Carpet Moment
Jelly Roll, the country music sensation who once weighed 550 lbs., made a striking appearance at the Pre-Grammy Gala on Jan. 31, 2026. Walking the red carpet alongside his wife Bunnie Xo, Jelly demonstrated just how far he had come in his weight loss journey. “You might think this is new, but…,” he quipped with a grin.
Weight Loss Journey
Jelly Roll started losing weight in 2022 and has been public about his dedication ever since. He told Men’s Health that he dropped nearly 300 lbs., now down to approximately 265 lbs. “It’s cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite,” Jelly Roll explained, referring to the previous lifestyle centered around alcohol and drugs.
Behind-the-Scenes Humor
Bunnie Xo, who hosted the Dumb Blonde Podcast with their children, shared a humorous moment during the event. “This outfit right here involved lubrication, which was actually a lot of fun,” Jelly Roll said, prompting his wife to chime in, “I had to literally use lube to get into this outfit.” The pair’s playful banter added a touch of levity to their red carpet experience.
Grammy Nominated
Jelly Roll is up for three Grammy Awards this year, including Best Contemporary Country Album for his album “Beautifully Broken.” His weight loss journey has not only changed his physical appearance but also his approach to life on the road. “It’s a whole different human,” Jelly Roll admitted, highlighting how his lifestyle and rituals on tour have evolved.
As the couple prepared for their big night at the 68th Grammy Awards Pre-Grammy Gala, Jelly Roll’s transformation was clear for all to see. His all-black textured suit contrasted with Bunnie Xo’s skintight metallic latex dress, creating a striking visual on the red carpet.
For those keeping score: Jelly Roll has made a dramatic turnaround, and his weight loss journey continues to inspire both fans and fellow musicians in the country music scene. His upcoming Grammy Awards show will be a momentous occasion for him and his family, marking not just an award ceremony but also a celebration of personal triumph.
