Jelly Roll marked a new milestone as he continues his health and fitness journey.

The reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Country Artist of the Year said “I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account,” he wrote in his caption on Instagram on Monday morning (September 15). Thousands of commenters have reacted to the photos — taken in Vatican City, where Jelly Roll performed and met with Pope Leo XIV over the weekend — as of publication time. Fellow artists ERNEST, Carly Pearce and others commented on Jelly Roll’s post. The Beautifully Broken artist’s wife of nearly a decade, Dumb Blonde podcast host Bunnie Xo, called him “the hunkiest hunk of them all.”

“Dude, listen. I’ve been thinking about ways to make it sound cool, but I can’t. I’m eating a lot of protein and vegetables and walking. That’s what I’m doing,” Jelly Roll said when asked about his health and fitness transformation on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this year. He confirmed “we’re approaching the 200-pound mark. I would guess that I have lost an entire Jimmy Kimmel.

“I do have a number in mind,” he said of his weight loss. “So, for the non-fluffy people in the world — I would give y’all some education, of course, here — to do all the fun stuff in life, you gotta be under 250. So my goal, I want to skydive, I want to ride a roller coaster, I want to ride a bull. I know it sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I got a list of things that I want to do.”

The “Need A Favor” superstar previously spoke about his weight loss journey, including on his wife’s podcast, where he said he wants to “be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026.”

Jelly Roll is part of the star-studded lineup of the genre-spanning iHeartRadio Music Festival presented to Capital One, which is slated to return later this year to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The two-day festival will also include performances by Bailey Zimmerman, BigXthaPlug, Bryan Adams, Ed Sheeran, Diplo, Feid, GloRilla, John Fogerty, Justice, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, Tate McRae, The Offspring, and Tim McGraw.
