His authorities identify is Jason Bradley DeFord, however since he was a baby, his mom and everybody else have referred to as him Jelly Roll.
So that is what he goes by in music, too.
“My mom named me that every time I used to be just a little chubby child,” the “Save Me” singer explained. It stuck, with some variations: Some just call him Jason, while others shorten to “Jelly.”
The star’s wife, Bunnie Xo, however, has some different names that she calls the country music superstar. She lets fans know in a new TikTok video that she never calls him Jason.

Bunnie captioned her video: “when ppl ask if we name one another by our authorities names.” She’s behind the camera in the clip and asks Jelly Roll if he ever calls her by her government name, Alyssa. Jelly looks puzzled and answers right away with a swift, “no.”
“Do I ever name you Jason?” she asks him. Jelly responds with a laugh, then another quick “no,” to which Bunnie responds, “It’s bizarre, proper?”
Jelly Roll confirms that yes, it’s weird, while laughing.
The description of the TikTok video is where the true revelation lies: Bunnie spills the pet names that she and Jelly Roll actually do call one another at home.
“It’s Mama, Mamabear, Papabear, Daddy Roll & J,” she says.
Fans in the comments section seem most shocked that Bunnie’s real name is Alyssa.
“Me realzing bunnies identify is not bunnie,” one writes, while another adds, “I assumed Bunnie was your actual identify lol..”
This video clears up a burning question that fans of the couple have wondered for a while: Behind closed doors, they are not using government names. They like to keep it light and fun!
Jelly Roll is currently on tour and booked almost all the way through 2024.
