As Jelly Roll continues to change his life through healthier living and a massive amount of weight lost, he's gotten the attention of many major news outlets, but one he really wanted on his resume was "Men's Health." It was back in December 2024 that the singer revealed his ultimate goal: to be on the cover of "Men's Health" by March 2026. He's coming in ahead of schedule; Jelly is the cover story in the January 2 edition of the magazine. While he discusses his law-breaking past and his weight loss journey, he also talks candidly about his face tattoos, which, along with his (former) 500+ pounds and gospel-meets-country voice, are what he is most identified by. When people accuse of him of trying to grab attention with his ink, he laughs it off. "It’s the polar opposite," he tells the magazine, explaining it was shame masked as bravado. "I was the biggest, the loudest, the toughest, the meanest, the growliest, the fattest. There’s normally deep inside of that a really, really small, insecure human. I was that, for sure."

It was around this time last year fans were still sorting through the wreckage of the Zach Bryan/Brianna LaPaglia relationship. On January 1st, the singer let it be known that was all far behind him, as he posted a pic of him and new bride Samantha Leonard on his Instagram. Captioning the post "Tougher than the rest," the pic showed Zac hoisting Leonard; there was also a video clip of Bryan, apparently singing the Bruce Springsteen song "Tougher Than The Rest" at his wedding reception. The "New York Post" says it's unclear when the wedding took place, but that happened in San Sebastian, Spain. See Zach's post below...
