When it comes to the realm of rumors, Jelly Roll finds himself at the epicenter of some wild speculations. With the singer shedding a staggering 200 pounds, a few fans have even suggested that he's been replaced by a "clone" of sorts, leading his wife, Bunnie Xo, to weigh in on the matter with a TikTok video.
In the Nov. 23 TikTok, Bunnie (real name Alyssa DeFord) zooms in on Jelly Roll's face and pokes fun at how his thinner cheeks have affected the placement of his face tattoos. With a laughing emoji in the caption, she writes, "When people think your husband is a clone because he lost weight and his 'tattoos don't match.'" Her post was met with a lively response from her fans, with one Emily commenting, "THAT'S NOT JELLY ROLL," to which Bunnie replies, "Then who is it, Emily?" Another chimes in with a joke about the "veggie roll" instead of "jelly roll."
While fans have noticed that Jelly Roll's face tattoos may appear differently, it's not the only facial feature that's undergone a recent transformation. The "Halfway to Hell" singer (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) debuted a beardless look on social media Nov. 20, marking the first time in over a decade he's been clean-shaven.
Jelly Roll explains his decision to shave in a vlog video shared to YouTube on Nov. 20, saying, "A lot of things change when you start losing weight and you realize things. One of the things I realized is I don't know what I look like. I've had a beard to try and cover up my double chin—which I clearly still have."
When unveiling his new look to his 17-year-old daughter Bailee Ann from a previous relationship, she reacts with a mix of surprise and laughter, seemingly in agreement with the clone theories. "Stay over there!" she says through laughter as she tries to hide in the corner. "Oh, my god. I'm gonna cry! I don't like it!" She also agrees with her dad's claim that he looks like a reptile, quipping, "You look like a turtle!"
Meanwhile, Bunnie Xo also has a good laugh at Jelly Roll's new look, shouting, "Oh, my gosh," while her husband shaves in the bathroom. After multiple fits of laughter, though, she adds in earnest, "I love it."
