Jelly Roll's priceless reaction after wife Bunnie XO flashes her breasts at hockey rink
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO keep the fun alive in their marriage — which was clear when she got sassy with her husband during a photoshoot back in March. The Son of a Sinner singer, 40, was being photographed on the ice at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena back in March. Bunnie, 45, got a bit bored watching from the stands, so she stood up and lifted her hockey jersey to flash her breasts. When Jelly Roll — real name Jason Bradley DeFord — realized what he was missing, he threw a big smile her way. Bunnie captioned the post, 'When he's not paying attention to you so you have to flop out the knockers,' as Drop 'Em Out by Wheeler Walker Jr. played over the short video. The loved-up couple met in 2015 when she attended Jelly's show at the Country Saloon in Las Vegas. They got married the following year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bunnie Xo. (@xomgitsbunnie) Jelly Roll has been on a fitness regimen that's helped him lose nearly 200 pounds so far. The Wild Ones singer has dropped from 540lbs down to 357lb and recently ran a 5K in Los Angeles. Back in December, he unveiled a new health and fitness goal. In a conversation with his wife on her Dumb Blonde podcast, the music artist said he wants to land the cover of Men's Health magazine. 'I wanna be on the cover of Men's Health by March of 2026. That's my new goal,' he announced five months ago. The star declared: 'I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.' He added that he was 'so glad' to be having the discussion in front of an audience. 'I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people,' he noted. Bunnie, 45, got a bit bored watching from the stands so she stood up and lifted her hockey jersey up to reveal her breasts. Seen here May 8, 2025 The musician explained about body image and fame, 'I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed. '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 looking different or feeling different, and they kinda gotta find their whole new way. 'I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.' Jelly emphasized about losing weight in the spotlight, 'I wanna bring people along with me…I didn't become successful because of my weight. He added: 'I became successful in spite of it.' He also acknowledged, 'I somehow managed to be this successful with carrying 550 pounds. That's insane.' Bunnie affirmed her husband, sharing, 'I think it's awesome that people get to watch your transformation too because they get to feel like it's not alone. 'And people need that right now because in a world where there's so many surgeries, there's a shot you can take, which again, we're not – I wish I could take the shot – I can't. It makes me sick. 'But there's so much that you can do in the shadows, and instead, you're just like, "This is me. Here it is. This is my cross to bear, and will you help me carry it?'' In the midst of training, the country star told People in April 2024: 'I've been really kicking a**, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. 'I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now.' The singer continued, 'I feel really good. I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something (pounds). If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour.'

Country star Jelly Roll surprises Hennepin County Jail inmates with special visit
A group of inmates in the Twin Cities had a surprise visit from a country superstar Tuesday. Jelly Roll made a stop at Hennepin County Jail ahead of his concert at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. There, he told inmates how he turned his life around after spending much of his youth behind bars. He says he was first criminally charged at 13 years old and then spent the next 13 years in and out of prison. He later got his GED in jail. Jelly Roll told the inmates he "didn't go home to become rich and famous" and "wanted to be the dad I didn't have," according to the jail's social media post. Before he left, Sheriff Dawanna Witt gave Jelly Roll a commemorative key to the jail. "Jail time shouldn't be wasted time. Jelly Roll is a great example of how jail programs can change lives," Witt said in a written statement. The jail thanked Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall in Nashville, Tennessee, for "seeing Jelly Roll's potential." In an interview with CBS News last month, Jelly Roll, whose birth name is Jason DeFord, discussed his mission to speak and perform at penitentiaries across the country, sharing his message of redemption. He has even testified on Capitol Hill to advocate for fentanyl victims and take accountability for his past. "I was a part of the problem," he said during his testimony in 2024. "I am here now standing as a man that wants to be a part of the solution." He told CBS News that his criminal record is complicating his ability to travel internationally and perform. He's hoping the Tennessee governor will pardon him. HCSO is still reeling from a surprise visit this afternoon at the Adult Detention Center. Ahead of his concert tonight,...

Slimmed down Jelly Roll packs on PDA with wife Bunnie XO after shedding an incredible 200lbs
Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO put on a loved-up display while walking the Academy of Country Music Awards red carpet on Thursday. The 40-year-old Best For Me hitmaker packed on the PDA with his longtime spouse, whom he wed in August 2016. For the star-studded occasion the singer, who has dropped 100lbs, wore an all-black outfit topped with a Western-inspired jacket with lace embroidery. Bunnie coordinated with her husband, stepping out in a lacy black dress with cutouts at the chest and midriff. She wore her blonde tresses in a flirty, 90s-inspired updo reminiscent of a young Pamela Anderson. She flashed her tattooed thigh in the gown's high-cut slit, and the look was punctuated with open-toe black heels. The beauty, real name Alyssa DeFord, arrived in a full face of sultry makeup that included a heavy smoky eye, contoured cheeks, and nude pink lipstick. Jelly, born Jason DeFord, was nominated for three awards on Thursday night: Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. In December he unveiled a new health and fitness goal. In a conversation with his wife on her Dumb Blonde podcast, the music artist said he wants to land the cover of Men's Health magazine.
