Jelly Roll Recently Shaved His Beard Off For The First Time In Years
Jelly Roll recently shocked his family when he decided to go clean-shaven for the first time in years. His wife, Bunnie Xo, documented the experience on video as he shaved his beard.
“You guys, I have been with my husband for going on 10 years now, [and] I have never seen this man without his facial hair. Not one freaking time,” Bunnie said.
That proclamation created some confusion in the media, which Bunnie later cleared up on an episode of her podcast, Dumb Blonde.
“The internet got it wrong. Like, all the news articles are like, ‘Oh, he hasn’t shaved his face in 10 years.’ No, no, no, no. He hasn’t shaved his face in 20 years.”
She said, “This is the first time he’s ever seen his face without hair.”

Why did Jelly Roll decide to shave his beard now? As Bunnie explained, he made this choice after losing 200 pounds over the past two years.
“He doesn’t know what he looks like underneath there,” she said on Dumb Blonde.
Bunnie didn’t show off Jelly’s beardless look in her video, saying that she’d let him do the big reveal himself. That reveal came in the form of another video, which Jelly uploaded in response to his recent Grammy nominations.
Jelly Roll poked fun at his clean-shaven appearance, saying, “By now you have probably figured out that I look like a Ninja Turtle.”
