But marriage wasn’t always on the cards for Jessica. She told the Wall Street Journal in 2018: "When I first met my husband, he knew that marriage wasn’t something I was interested in,
"And then as we got to know each other, the idea of marriage shifted for me. There are some things worth celebrating — and he’s worth celebrating."
