Jelly Roll recently reacted with humor and pride after his wife, Bunnie Xo, jokingly referred to him as her “hall pass,” a comment that quickly caught fans’ attention online. The lighthearted moment came as the country singer continues to celebrate major personal milestones, including a dramatic transformation in his health and lifestyle.
Bunnie Xo shared a playful video on social media while watching Jelly Roll appear as a judge on Netflix’s revived talent competition, Star Search. Sitting on her couch, she joked about spotting her “new hall pass” on television, only to turn the camera and reveal that it was her own husband on screen. The post amused fans and quickly made waves online.
Jelly Roll addressed the viral moment during an interview on the red carpet at the show’s live taping. Reflecting on his wife’s comment, he expressed genuine excitement, saying the joke meant more to him than people might realize. He also spoke openly about how his recent 300-pound weight loss has positively changed his life.
According to the singer, the physical transformation has affected far more than his appearance. He shared that he feels stronger mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The changes have helped him reconnect with himself, deepen his faith, and become more present as a father. Simple moments, such as coaching his son’s basketball team, now feel more achievable and fulfilling.
Jelly Roll also spoke warmly about his family and personal life, emphasizing how much he enjoys being involved and active at home. Even light moments on the red carpet reminded him of how much his family means to him, highlighting how his outlook has shifted toward gratitude and balance.

Alongside his personal growth, Jelly Roll continues to expand his career. He currently serves as a judge on Star Search, sharing the panel with Chrissy Teigen and Sarah Michelle Gellar, while the show is hosted by Anthony Anderson. As the season continues, Jelly Roll’s journey reflects both professional success and a renewed sense of purpose in his personal life.
