Jelly Roll Shares His Experience of Fitting into Louis Vuitton After Weight Loss Journey
Jelly Roll is not only shedding pounds — he’s also enhancing his fashion sense.
The 40-year-old country star recently marked an important milestone in his weight loss journey: fitting into luxury designer outfits.
“I can rock Louis Vuitton now. Please pray for my wallet,” he captioned a fresh Instagram post on Monday, September 15. “A million thank-yous to the legendary Skateboard P, his crew, and everyone else who helped make last night unforgettable.”
Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) shared his post from Vatican City, featuring two images of him flaunting his slimmer build in a navy zip-up jacket, black shirt, and pants.
This was a significant event for the chart-topping artist, who had the honor of meeting the Pope prior to the Grace for the World concert at St. Peter’s Square over the weekend.
Jelly Roll was one of the featured performers, alongside Pharrell Williams, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, and Karol G.
Previously, he shared a portrait on Instagram of himself shaking hands with the Pope to commemorate the occasion, stating, “From rock bottom to holy ground.”
Jelly Roll has embarked on a journey to lose weight. “Next year when you see me, you won’t recognize me,” the country star (real name Jason DeFord) shared in an October 2024 Instagram video, announcing he has lost over 100 pounds. “I’m planning to lift weights like never before.”
He started his weight loss journey in 2022 and successfully dropped 110 pounds by 2024 through a revamped fitness routine and healthier food choices.
“It’s amazing because I used to have a tour culture centered around alcohol and drugs,” the Grammy nominee explained to People in 2024. “Now our tour culture is about healthy eating, exercising, and performing daily emotional check-ins with our crew.”
The “Wild Ones” hitmaker has also been outspoken about avoiding Ozempic — a medication for adults with type 2 diabetes that has weight loss effects — due to fears of potential side effects.
Ozempic has become a popular topic regarding weight loss, with various celebrities confirming its use while others have denied it. Chelsea Handler noted in a January 2023 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she unintentionally took the Type 2 diabetes medication, originally designed to improve […].
He expressed his concerns during an appearance on his wife Bunnie Xo‘s “Dumb Blonde” podcast in December 2024, admitting, “I just have worries about it… As a singer, few things scare me more than acid reflux.”
As he continues his weight loss journey, Jelly Roll stated that his next aspiration is to appear on the cover of Men’s Health by 2026, adding, “I want to achieve one of the most significant transformations.”
