Jelly Roll said in 2024 that his goal was to be on the cover of Men's Health magazine by March 2026, and now he has done it two months early.

Jelly Roll is the cover model for the January edition of the publication. In the article he talks about how his life has changed since he went from 540 pound to 265. Jelly lost the weight with proper nutrition and exercise, but before he could do that he had to deal with his food addiction. Because of his past struggles with addiction, he recognized the signs of being dependent on food. "Once I started treating food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me," Jelly explains to Men's Health. "When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating for?" He also said that shifting from a weight loss goal to a health goal made a huge difference.
