There are stories of talent. Then there are moments that stop everyone in their tracks. Jessica Sanchez just lived one of those moments.
She spent the entire Season 20 of America’s Got Talent performing while pregnant. Every high note, every live round, every step on that stage happened while she carried her first child. Viewers had no idea that behind the spotlight was a young woman balancing two dreams at once. Then came September, when she was crowned champion. A historic win for a 30 year old artist who had been chasing this goal since she was a child.
Only a few weeks later, on October 13, she welcomed her daughter, Eliana Mae Gallardo. She shared that her early days of motherhood were filled with love, healing, late nights and memories she will never forget. The timing feels almost unreal. One chapter closed and a new one arrived in her arms.
Now she is stepping forward again. Jessica confirmed that a new album is officially on the way. She says she is ready. Fans have waited years for her next era and this one comes with the power of her biggest victory and the strength of her new role as a mother.
Her first major performance since giving birth is set for New Year’s Eve in Manila at Newport World Resorts. A true homecoming for one of the most beloved Filipino American voices of the last decade.

In an earlier live round, eight months pregnant and visibly glowing, Jessica stood on that stage and dedicated the song “Ordinary” to the baby girl she had not met yet. Every lyric about feeling small and then finding something extraordinary took on a new meaning.
