Jelly Roll has admitted he struggled with minor weight gain despite losing nearly 300 pounds and looking incredible. Amid his divorce from Bunnie Xo, he has also turned to binge eating, which he is not proud of. Now, he is celebrating a major fitness milestone, and it is his “Hands Up” moment. Keep reading for all of the details and to see the clip he shared.
Jelly Roll Is High On Life
In May 2026, Jelly Roll filed for divorce from his wife of a decade, Bunnie Xo. This was done privately, and no one knew for around a month. It stemmed from a Mother’s Day fight, and there was no looking back. The divorce has since been settled, and the duo claims to be amicable, even planning on having a child together. Jelly is allegedly dating again while Bunnie Xo is just having fun, with nothing serious on the horizon. She is still doing her podcast while writing a second book. As for Jelly, he released a brand new single and video amid heartbreak.
The single is called “Hands Up,” and he just celebrated his major moment featuring the song. Jelly Roll has stated that he wanted to work out and get in shape for a long time. However, he never took the initiative. When he finally did, there was no stopping him, and he just randomly decided to hike to the top of a mountain. He filmed himself with a beaming smile after he made it, celebrating and mouthing the words to his new single. In the caption, he wrote:
- Just a few years ago, I finally threw my Hands Up and started changing my life. Today I’m throwing my hands up on top of a MOUNTAIN we decided to hike on a whim that would have been literally impossible for me to get up not long ago. God is GREAT y’all, God is so great🙌
Jelly Roll was immediately celebrated for his dedication as well as his faith. He truly tried his hardest to get to where he is and has excelled.
