Jessica first appeared on AGT<\/em> during its inaugural season in 2006 when she was just a young girl.

As she told NBC Insider, \u201cThroughout the years I kind of fell out of love of music \u2026 I was so swayed by what everyone wanted me to be.\u201d But in 2025, she returned with new resolve: \u201cMaybe it took me 20 years, but I know exactly who I am. I know exactly what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding to the layers of the story, Jessica revealed she is pregnant<\/strong> and already married, which made her comeback even more poignant. The confluence of motherhood and artistry gave her performance depth that went beyond mere vocal display.<\/p>\n
