The actress talked about the pressure of being perfect and how she is completely fine with her body
“I felt like I needed to be someone I wasn’t in order to be accepted. I allowed other people’s ideas of who they thought I should be to define me,” Jessica, told Instyle magazine - comparing her beginnings to the present. "Who am I now? I have three children. They’ve exploded my body, and I’m cool with it." Jessica, who has been on the cover of the magazine four times, recalled a special moment for her: "My son, Hayes, was just seven months old when I shot the last cover, and if I had been younger, I probably would have been obsessed with dieting and exercising, but instead I thought, “This is where I’m at. This is my life. And this is my body.” It was a process for the actress, though, who admitted that it took her some time to get there, but things started changing in her thirties, when she was already the mom of Haven and Honor, "I also stopped allowing myself to be objectified in the press through a male’s perspective. Screw that, man. It’s OK to be sexy. It’s OK to wear a short skirt or a loud print if I feel like it because I own it in my own way. I can flaunt what I want, cover what I want, and still feel good."
