Jessica Sanchez Welcomes Baby Girl Less Than 3 Weeks After Winning America’s Got Talent
|Jessica Sanchez Welcomes Baby Girl Less Than 3 Weeks After Winning “America’s Got Talent”
A double celebration for a superstar mom! 🌟
Less than three weeks after winning Season 20 of America’s Got Talent, singer Jessica Sanchez is celebrating the most beautiful moment of her life — the birth of her baby girl, Eliana Mae Gallardo.
Jessica Sanchez’s Journey Back to the AGT Stage
Jessica’s victory on September 24, 2025, marked a powerful full-circle moment in her career. Her connection with America’s Got Talent began nearly two decades earlier, when she first auditioned for Season 1 in 2006, at just ten years old.
That early audition wasn’t televised, but fans finally saw her shine when she performed Celine Dion’s “I Surrender” during the semifinals — a moment that revealed the strength of her young voice and heart.
Although she didn’t advance to the finals back then, Jessica never gave up. Nineteen years later, she returned to the stage — older, wiser, and ready to reclaim her passion.
“I kind of fell out of love with music because I was really young and influenced by what everyone wanted me to be,” she told the judges. “Maybe it took me 20 years, but now I know exactly who I am — and I’m excited to be back.”
From Golden Buzzer to Champion 🌟
During her 2025 audition, Jessica also revealed that she was married and expecting her first child — a revelation that made her journey even more meaningful.
Her performance of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” left the judges in awe, prompting Sofía Vergara to hit the Golden Buzzer, sending her straight to the live rounds.
Week after week, Jessica proved herself to be one of the most powerful and emotional vocalists in AGT history — and on finale night, she was crowned the winner of Season 20.
It was a redemptive moment, both as an artist and as a soon-to-be mother.

Her representative confirmed the happy news to PEOPLE, and Jessica shared a heartfelt statement:
“She’s here. On October 13, 2025, I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Eliana Mae Gallardo — 6 lbs., 12 oz. and 20.5 inches of pure love. The moment I held her, everything around me just stopped. It’s the kind of love you can’t explain — that fills every part of you all at once.”
Jessica explained that they chose the name Eliana because it means “God has answered.”
“These first few days have been emotional, sleepless, beautiful… everything I dreamed of and more,” she said. “She’s our answered prayer, our reminder of grace and purpose.”
