Jelly Roll's wife slams shallow comments about country singer's 200-pound weight loss

Jelly Roll's wife will stand by her man through thick and thin.

Bunnie Xo quelled online chatter surrounding her husband's 200-pound weight loss in a TikTok clip shared Saturday.

The "Dumb Blonde" podcast host appeared to be relaxing in the backyard of the couple's Tennessee farm as she addressed her followers on social media. 

Bunnie Xo wrote across the screen "my comments lately be like… " before noting questionable statements shared with her recently about her husband's changing physical shape.

"Girl your man is so hot now that he lost all that weight," she said. "Is he… Cause he's always had the same face. He's always had the same heart. He's always had the same soul."

The "Come Here Cowboy" singer added, "I think the most appropriate thing here to say is that he looks so much more healthier now that he has lost weight."

"We've gotta stop living in a ‘Shallow Hal’ world, guys, cause you know what? You might miss out on the best love of your life by judging somebody by their weight," she said.

Bunnie Xo captioned the video, "He's been that dude. I'll forever be cheering him on no matter what weight he is."

The "Save Me" singer began his weight loss journey in December 2022. He told Fox News Digital at the 2023 CMA Awards he was "starting to find a will to live" through his health journey, explaining he doesn't have a specific goal and is only focused on continuing "to keep doing the right thing and feeling better."

In April 2025, Jelly Roll shared his progress during an appearance on the "Big Night AHT" live show, telling host Pat McAfee, he lost nearly 200 pounds and was working on losing more.

"I started at 540 pounds. I'm 357 pounds this morning, baby," he told the crowd. "I'm going to lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife!" 

During an appearance on his wife's podcast, "Dumb Blonde" in December 2024, Jelly Roll went into detail about why he chose to go public with his weight loss journey, explaining he wanted "to be honest about my struggles with it with people."

"I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed," he explained. "They're so ashamed that they go and 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, you know? And they kind of got to find their whole new way." 

While on the podcast, he expressed his goal of wanting to "be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026" and having "one of the biggest transformations."

Arkansas fires football coach Sam Pittman after blowout loss

The Arkansas Razorbacks fired head football coach Sam Pittman and named Bobby Petrino the interim head coach on Sunday following the team’s lopsided loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

The Razorbacks had no answer for the Fighting Irish’s offense in the 56-13 defeat. Notre Dame put up 42 points on Arkansas in the first half. Quarterback C.J. Carr had four touchdown passes and Jeremiyah Love ran for two scores.

The loss dropped Arkansas to 2-3 on the year, but it was apparently the last straw for the university.

"I want to thank Coach Pittman for his service and dedication to the University of Arkansas throughout his time as head coach," athletics director Hunter Yurachek said in a statement. "From Day 1, you could tell how much this opportunity meant to him. At this time, however, I feel a change is necessary to put our student-athletes and program in the best position to be successful. 

"The goal for our football program is to be highly competitive within the Southeastern Conference and compete for a national championship. As we move forward in the process of finding our next head coach, I am certain we will be able to provide the necessary resources to our staff and team to reach our goals. We will begin a national search for our next head coach immediately and that search will include Coach Petrino, who has expressed his desire to be a candidate for the full-time job."

Pittman was 32-24 since he took the Arkansas job in 2020. The team made three bowl games and won each of them. The Razorbacks were 7-6 last season and won the Liberty Bowl.

Petrino coached at Arkansas from 2008 to 2011. He was fired before the 2012 season officially began after a motorcycle crash sparked a scandal in the program.

He was last the head coach at Louisville in 2018. He is 119-56 in 14 years as a head coach in college football.
