Country star Jason DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, showcased his dramatic weight loss in a Louis Vuitton ensemble while performing at the Grace of the World event in Vatican City. The 40-year-old singer posted on Instagram, “I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account,” highlighting both his new style and the expense of designer fashion.
Jelly began his weight loss journey in 2022, weighing 550 lbs at the time. By 2024, he had shed 110 lbs through lifestyle changes, including daily exercise, running and walking 2–3 miles a day, and following a high-protein diet prepared by nutritionist Chef Ian Larios. Much of his weight loss occurred during his four-month Beautifully Broken tour, where he transformed the tour culture from one centered on alcohol and drugs to one focused on healthy eating, exercise, and emotional check-ins with his crew.
The dad of two has been open about achieving his results naturally, choosing not to use Ozempic due to potential side effects affecting his voice. Looking ahead, Jelly Roll hopes to land on the cover of Men’s Health by 2026, aiming for one of the biggest transformations the magazine has seen.
