'AGT 20's Jessica Sanchez Shares Husband's Reaction To Her Win, Prepares Home To Welcome Baby

American singer-songwriter, Jessica Sanchez was crowned the winner of America's Got Talent season 20 on September 24, 2025. Her soulful performance of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' Die With A Smile touched the judges and audiences' hearts, leading to her win. The most impressive fact about Jessica's victory is that she achieved it while being nine months pregnant. Recently, she shared how her 'greatest foundation', her husband, reacted to the impressive feat and how the couple prepared their home to welcome their first child amid 'chaos'.

Jessica Sanchez won the America's Got Talent season 20 title

Jessica Sanchez's powerful vocals and melodious rendition of Die With A Smile outshone the other contestants, helping her secure the winning title and a cash prize of USD 1 million. Her victory was a remarkable comeback, as she had first competed on the inaugural season of the show in 2006 at just 10 years old. Jessica couldn't make the cut back then, and now, after almost two decades, the championship title has become hers.

Jessica mentioned how her life has come full circle with the win. It was a testament to her 'don't give up' attitude and would serve as an inspiration to people to keep chasing their dreams until they become a reality. In a recent chat with TV Insider, she opened up on how the whole AGT experience 'has brought out so many new aspects of' her. She also shared that her victory was a 'big message' to both her younger self and her to-be-born daughter. She stated:

"The title was more important for me because starting from Season 1, when I was 10, to now, going through this long, hard journey and making it [to] season 20 to the finale, and then winning it, was just a big message to not only my younger self but also to my daughter."

Jessica Sanchez's husband's reaction to her AGT 20 win

Jessica Sanchez was asked by the interviewer what her first interaction with her husband was like after she clinched the coveted America's Got Talent title. The singer recalled sobbing on stage, almost being unable to speak. At that time, her husband, Rickie Gallardo, came up on stage with tears in his eyes. She mentioned that Rickie was not typically the emotional type, and so his tears made her even more overwhelmed. With the post-win chaos, the couple didn't have much time to celebrate right away.

However, Jessica knew that once they were back home and everything had settled down, she would likely 'cry like a baby again' while soaking up the moment with her husband. Jessica Sanchez bagged the AGT 20 honour while nine months pregnant with their first child. During the competition, she had referred to Rickie as her 'greatest foundation' and in now, in the post-win interview with TV Insider, she shared how the two were gearing up for their parenthood journey together.

Jessica Sanchez confirmed that preparations for welcoming her baby girl are 'pretty set' at her Texas home. She also discussed managing a busy end to her pregnancy, stating that despite some 'chaos' from house remodelling, the baby's needs were taken care of. She mentioned being away from home, in L.A., for a while and might even go into labour in the city. Hence, she will be prepared for the same and has packed her hospital bag herself. Mentioning that the couple was good at setting up the 'baby stuff' at home, Jessica shared:

"We just got done kind of remodelling the house a little bit, so there's still a little bit of chaos. But I told myself, I don't know how long I'm going to be [away] in L.A., so let me just get at least the baby stuff ready. I packed a hospital bag for myself here, just in case I had her here."
