Jelly Roll has switched up his look, leaving his wife Bunnie XO, and the rest of his family and friends in complete shock.
The Grammy-nominated artist, who recently toured Australia, decided to shave his beard for the first time in 10 years.
The last time he had a clean-shaven face, he admits, was when he was “fresh out of jail”.

Jelly Roll documented the process in a YouTube video as he took a razor to his famous beard and shaved it clean off.
”My daughter’s going to see me without a beard for the first time ever,” he said in the vlog just before his transformation.
His wife watched on in shock as he slowly shaved every last bit of hair off his chin.
“Oh my god,” she said in amazement.

“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,” she said in an Instagram reel teasing his transformation.
Once clean-shaven, he walked out of the bathroom to surprise his friends and family, who were all truly stunned.
“The total naked face, it’s not terrible,” Bunnie said as she reacted to her husband’s new look.
“Oh my god I’m going to cry I don’t like this,” one friend joked.

Jelly Roll then addressed the vlog, showing off his freshly shaven face to the world for the first time and joking that he looks like a “Ninja Turtle”.
He explained that one of the reasons he started growing a beard was to help “cover up” his face when he was overweight.
But he was now curious to see what his face looked like after so long and after pursuing a health and fitness journey.
Later in the same video, Jelly Roll fought back tears as he reflected on his recent nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards.
“When I look at these nominations all I see is God,” he said.
“I want to cry. Wow, country album of the year. It’s not even about the album or the nom. It’s about the name.”
He concluded the video, encouraging his fans to joke about his new look.
“Y’all make fun of me now and leave comments about my double chin.”
The Save Me singer recently arrived in Australia in October for his first ever Australian tour, which took him to Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney and Townsville.

But things didn’t exactly go to plan. During the recent No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, the singer said he started to suffer stomach problems soon after he arrived in Australia, which in turn affected his mental health.
“When my stomach’s not right, nothing’s right. My mind’s not right. Everything. I’m just not thinking clear,” he said.
“I’m having to be super isolated. I don’t like it. I’m spending a lot of time in my hotel room by myself, just in my head. I miss my family a tonne.
“Everybody wants to go home when they’re sick. That’s just in us, I just don’t feel good, so I just want to go home.”
“I’m falling apart. It’s a horrible week. I’m doing the worst mentally I’ve done in a long time,” he continued.
“I’m really far from home and it’s really hitting me that I’m really far from home, like in an anxious way… I’m not having fun and I want to go home.”

But it was not his only gripe with Australia, with the singer also taking to social media to air his frustrations after visiting a designer store in Sydney.
“Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney, legitimately just treated us like we were finna (sic) come in and rob that place,” he said in an Instagram Story.
“I have never been looked at more like a ‘crim’.
“Listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad… I was an actual criminal – this bad.”
