'AGT' Season 20 auditions have raised the bar higher with contestants like Christian Guardino, Lightwire, and Jourdan Blue. Another standout was Jessica Sanchez, who delivered a powerful vocal performance of Benson Boone's hit, 'Beautiful Things.' The 29-year-old, who had also been on Season 1 of the show, once again won judges' hearts, receiving the coveted Golden Buzzer from judge Sofia Vergara. Not only did the singer win on stage, but she is also winning in real life, sharing the photos of herself cradling a baby bump, announcing her pregnancy with pride.

On July 17, Sanchez posted a carousel of pictures on Instagram, captioned, "Our hearts are so full. 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." The first image featured a baby ultrasound, followed by photos of her husband, Rickie Gallardo, sporting a casual look in a white tee with a black jacket and black pants, which he paired perfectly with white sneakers.

"Watching you carry our child while still pouring your heart into every performance has left me in awe." He added, "You’re not just strong… you’re sacred. I’ve never been more proud, more moved, or more grateful to walk through life with you. This season we’re in… it’s the most beautiful one yet. I love you." According to GMA, the couple has been married since 2021. While Sanchez's 'AGT' journey is yet to unfold, one thing’s clear- with a Golden Buzzer, the to-be mom has proved that she’s unstoppable."
