AGT 2025 winner Jessica Sanchez says going home to have her baby is her real win

In her interview with Parade on the red carpet, AGT 2025 winner Jessica Sanchez opened up about her victory. She stated, “It’s just so overwhelming.” Sanchez further added, “Not only is this amazing moment happening, but I’m really close in my pregnancy of becoming a mother.” The 30-year-old also shared thinking about the night before watching the performances while standing on the stage with Chris Turner for the winner announcement.

The singer said, “I was watching and I was like, ‘Wow! This is just full of talent, and I really don’t know what’s going to happen.” “I’ve done all that I can. We’ll just see what happens. So, I honestly wasn’t expecting to win,” she continued. Sanchez further explained, “I’m going to go home and have my baby, and that’s my win. I’m just feeling so grateful that the Lord has blessed me with this opportunity.”

Moreover, Sanchez is hopeful about returning to her Houston, TX, home before the arrival of her baby. Additionally, she is planning to resume her career with her music, acting as an inspiration after giving birth. “Coming back into music after so long, my goal was to really shift my mindset from winning Grammys – that’s the big dream – but I think there’s purpose behind it now,” Sanchez added. The musician concluded, “I want to inspire other people to follow their dreams and touch people through my music, so I’m just going to continue to write music and play music.”

As the winner of America’s Got Talent Season 20, Sanchez took home a grand prize of $1 million.
