Jelly Roll (real name: Jason DeFord) frequently performs at charity events, including concerts where proceeds go toward mental health support, addiction recovery, and youth programs. He gives back to support people who are navigating difficult circumstances, using his own life experiences as a source of inspiration.
While performing at the Cajundome last Friday (Sept. 13), one couple got the shock of a lifetime when they suddenly found themselves on the receiving end of the star's incredible kindness.
As he performed,, Jelly Roll was walking down the runway into the crowd of screaming fans, when something caught his eye: A sign that read "Just Married".
"Hold on. Y'all really just got married? When — today?" he asked the couple.
The newlyweds showed Jelly Roll a wedding picture on their phone, which was shown on the big screens in the Cajundome, and the crowd went wild.
They responded that they didn't know and had nothing planned yet.
"I tell you what. I'm gonna give you $10,000 to go, if it's alright with you," the star said back.
The crowd went crazy. The incredible newlyweds turned out to be Aiden and Claire Sanders, who had actually eloped and had gotten married the very day of the show!
