“Now the way it turned out is a completely different story,” she said. “But ya live and ya learn. I don’t even want him to grow the goatee back. I want him to keep the mullet and do the fricken’ weird cop mustache that he had. Oh my God, it was so hot. It looks so good, I’m like, ‘Baby, leave that.’ “
On Thursday, the 40-year-old “Save Me” singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, took to Instagram to share his new look, after shaving off his signature beard.

“By now you have probably figured out that I look like a ninja turtle,” he said in the video. “Crazy. One of the reasons I even started growing a beard is I was so obese, it was just easier to cover up what was happening here.”
Jelly Roll began his weight-loss journey in December 2022, and has been open with his fans about his progress over the years.
In April, he told fans during Pat McAfee’s “Big Night AHT” event that he had lost 183 pounds, telling a cheering crowd, “I started at 540 pounds. I’m 357 pounds this morning, baby.” He added that he wants to lose another 100 pounds so that he could go skydiving with his wife, Bunnie XO.
