The dance crew Team Recycled, who competed with her on AGT, extended their congratulations in the comments section, writing: “Welcome, Eliana! We can forever say that we already shared one stage with you! And again, congrats to the Sanchez/Gallardo Family.”
Earlier this year, Jessica first revealed her pregnancy on the AGT stage, right after earning the Golden Buzzer. She later shared a carousel of photos on Instagram showing glimpses of her journey—ultrasound images, baby bump photos, pregnancy tests, and a Bible verse about God doing the impossible.
“Our hearts are so full,” Jessica wrote. “This is my first time sharing about the pregnancy, and it’s been so hard keeping it quiet these past 5 months! Thank you all for the love, support, and sweet messages—it truly means the world. Most of all, thank You God for this beautiful blessing growing inside me.”
Jessica’s recent win was a major milestone—she bested nine other finalists through live audience voting, taking home the AGT Season 20 crown and $1 million (around ₱58 million) in prize money.
From performing on the AGT stage to starting a new chapter as a mother, Jessica’s journey continues to inspire. Congratulations to the Sanchez-Gallardo family!
