In a rare and vulnerable moment, international powerhouse vocalist Jessica has shared that her journey after becoming a mother has not been without its professional hurdles.

However, the physical aftermath of pregnancy presented a challenge she didn't fully anticipate.

In a candid interview with Unang Balita, which was also detailed by GMA Entertainment, the singer explained how the biological shifts of motherhood reached her vocal cords.

"Priorities are very different now, but also it has affected my singing too. All of the hormones have been changing my vocal cords and everything. So I've been having to like relearn how to sing and breathe," Jessica admitted.

This process of "relearning" is a daunting task for any artist, let alone one known for high-octane performances and complex vocal runs. Jessica described the experience as a period of adjustment where she had to re-familiarize herself with her body’s new mechanics.

To overcome this, she has been working diligently with a vocal coach to ensure she is in top form for her fans.

Despite these struggles, her connection to her heritage remains a source of joy. While currently in the Philippines for her homecoming, she shared a lighthearted moment about her daughter’s first taste of local culture.
