39-year-old singer Jelly Roll was on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast this past week, and he talked a little bit about his weight loss journey.
He revealed he made it a goal to lose over 60 pounds so he could live longer to see his kids grow up. For those who don’t know, Jelly Roll has a 16-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Currently, he’s married to Bunnie XO, and while they haven’t welcomed a baby together, Mr. Roll made it clear they’re trying.
My wife and I are talking about having a baby, and it really made me realize that at almost 40, I was like, it means I got to live to at least 60. I got to see this kid into college.
What’s funny is that he obviously didn’t get permission from his wife to share this news, because she went on her Instagram account shortly after and wrote, “Papabear dropped a surprise on this pod today. We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our ivf journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open.”
We’re so happy for them! And we’re also proud of Jelly Roll for making the decision to be healthier for his kids.
He took part in his first 5K race in May and has already lost a little over 70 pounds.
I’ve been really kicking ass, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now.
