After several days of anticipation, Jelly Roll has officially announced their new look.
Jelly Roll's wife Bunny Zoe, 45, teased fans on November 13 by revealing that the singer, 40, was ready to shave off his beard for the first time in nearly 10 years, but did not reveal the final outcome.
The country star showed off her new look on Instagram on Thursday, joking that she thinks she looks like a “ninja turtle.”
“You can see by now that I look like a Ninja Turtle,” he said in the video. “It's crazy. One of the reasons I started growing a beard was because I was so obese. It was easy to hide what was going on here.”
Jelly Roll went on to discuss recent Grammy nominations, including Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
“When I was in Australia, I woke up and had been nominated for three Grammys. When I made it to the first Grammy of the year, there was a new artist. I thought to myself, 'This is the only time I'm going to be at the Grammys.' And to be able to come back three years later with more nominations than ever before, I'm more than grateful,” the Wild Ones singer said.
“I don't care what artists say, I don't care how artists act. I'm going to tell the real truth,” he added. “There's not an artist in the world who grew up watching the Grammy Awards as a kid and then didn't go back to their bedroom and rehearse their speech.”
“Anyway, thanks for paying attention to this vlog. You guys are making fun of me right now and leaving comments below about my double chin and how I thought my chin was at least half an inch ahead of where it actually was. Science experiment failed, guys,” Jelly Roll said.
Not everyone was a fan of Jelly Roll's new look, including his daughter Bailey Ann, who shared her shocked reaction on Jelly Roll's YouTube vlog.

Bunny said in a previous video that her husband plans to “completely shave his beard.” The reason being: “He's lost weight too, look at that awful jawline.”
“I want to see that jawline, don't you guys?” Bunny added.
“Listen, I know I'm going to have to cut the skin here,” Jelly Roll said, pointing to his chest. “We're trying to see if a facelift is appropriate.”
Jelly Roll got off camera and began his transformation.
She said the Need a Favor singer was the first to try a “goatee.”
“Oh my god, baby, you look so good,” Ms. Bunny first said of her goatee, before revealing that she had switched to a “cop stash,” which she said was “on fire.”
So he decided to shave his head completely.
“Nude face isn't too bad,” Bunny said with a laugh. “It's not terrible. It's not terrible.”
On a July episode of Stephanie McMahon's “What's Your Story” podcast, Jelly Roll, who previously weighed around 550 pounds, opened up about his weight loss journey when asked if he had any plans to “gain weight.”
“When you spend your whole life being obese, morbidly obese or extremely obese, your first instinct isn't 'I want to get bigger.' It feels like you actually want to be smaller,” the Son of a Sinner singer said.
“I put on weight from a really, really young age. By the time I graduated middle school I was over 300 pounds. The night I head into the ring at SummerSlam I'll be under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school,” he added before his tag team match with Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at SummerSlam 2025.
