She is fulfilling her dreams as a singer and is now in her ninth month of pregnancy.

In July 2025, the American Idol alum made waves on social media when she returned as a contestant for the popular talent show. She earned her well-deserved Golden Buzzer and a standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Mel B, and Howie Mandel after singing “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone.

Jessica Sanchez finished as a runner-up behind Phillip Philipps on the eleventh season of American Idol.
