He said: ‘I’m gonna lose another 100lbs and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden baby!’

The star is married to Bunnie XO and the couple have openly spoken about their weight loss journeys.

Jelly Roll announced in October that he had surpassed his weight-loss goal of losing 100 pounds as he prepared for a 5K race.

That same month Bunnie revealed she had been ‘micro-dosing’ the weight-loss medication tirzepatide, but was still ‘hungry as s**t.’

The country star’s spouse admitted she hadn’t yet experienced any appetite suppression, but felt side effects, confessing: ‘I s**t my brains out.’

She lifted the lid on her experience with the drug on an episode of her podcast.

Tirzepatide is anti-diabetic medication used to help treat type 2 diabetes as well as help aid in weight loss.

In a conversation with wife Bunnie XO on her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 40-year-old music artist said he wants to be on the cover of Men’s Health magazine.

‘I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026. That’s my new goal,’ he proclaimed on the upcoming December 16 episode.

The star declared: ‘I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.’

He added that he was ‘so glad’ to be having the discussion in front of an audience.

‘I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people,’ he said.

The hitmaker, born Jason Bradley DeFord, explained about body image and fame, ‘I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed.

‘They’re so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out [and] they don’t really know how to interact with the world looking different or feeling different, and they kinda gotta find their whole new way.

‘I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.’

To slim down, the two-time Grammy nominee has taken up boxing, basketball and walking arenas.

The Son of a Sinner hitmaker’s chef, Ian Larios, previously noted that his client’s favorite pre-show snack is a banana topped with Manuka honey, stevia and dark chocolate shavings.

After his gig, Jelly enjoys Nashville hot chicken, which the nutritionist has been making healthier by ‘taking away the oil and the batter from it.’

The chicken is then served with French fries coated in bone brother, which ‘ups the protein in it, but it also makes it have that nice crunch to it, because we air fry it.’

‘So it tricks your brain into thinking that this is, like, that nice greasy Nashville deep-fried hot chicken. He’s gonna feel like he’s eating at home,’ he added. ‘It’s healthy. It’s air-fried. It’s full of protein, and it helps him stay on track.’

Larios raved: ‘That 100-pound weight loss goal from last tour is huge.’

In April the singer – whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord – admitted he had been ‘really kicking a**’ in his mission to lose weight.

‘I’m probably down 70-something pounds. I’ve been really kicking a***, 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,’ he told People.
