Jelly Roll narrowly escaped having his very essence compressed out of existence, all thanks to a whimsical prank orchestrated by his beloved spouse, Bunnie Xo. In a playful tussle captured on TikTok on August 15th, the "Son of a Sinner" crooner bore the brunt of two unexpected body slams from his wife, leaving him momentarily off-balance.
Addressing Jelly Roll's remarkable 200-pound weight loss journey over the past two years, Bunnie (née Alyssa DeFord) captioned the video with a tongue-in-cheek remark: "When you must verify he's still your squishy delight, despite the substantial transformation."
The footage depicts Jelly Roll (Bradley DeFord in real life) leaning casually against a rocky wall, while Bunnie, the host of the Dumb Blonde podcast and his wife since 2016, stands directly in front of him. Without warning, she lunges forward, her chest colliding with his in a burst of playful aggression. Jelly Roll's eyes widen in astonishment, a "Whoa" escaping his lips before he teasingly dares her to replicate the maneuver.
Following the second impact, Jelly Roll feigns agony, yet quickly transitions into embracing Bunnie—the stepmother to his children, Bailee Ann, 17, and Noah Buddy, 8, from past relationships—in a kiss and a hug, his hands playfully squeezing her derriere.
Though the couple's bond remains steadfast, Jelly Roll's physical transformation is undeniably striking. Earlier this month, he provided an update on his weight loss journey while delivering a motivational speech to the Tennessee Titans football team.
"I may not hit the field, but I'm darn close. I've shed 200 pounds," he proudly told the NFL players in an August 6th video. "I told the coach I'll sign a contract if I lose another 50."
Indeed, Jelly Roll, who once weighed 540 pounds, is resolute in achieving his goal weight for reasons beyond vanity. "To engage in all the thrilling adventures life has to offer, you gotta dip below 250," he emphasized during an April appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He aspires to skydive, ride rollercoasters, participate in bull riding, and even wrestler an alligator. "I've compiled a bucket list of experiences I yearn to embrace."
