Feeling loved. The '7th Heaven' actress explained why birthdays were all the more meaningful as a mother in a touching Instagram post.
View this post on InstagramThe next snap was a sweet sheet cake, decorated with neon candles and frosting that said “WE LOVE YOU MOM”. A blonde Jessica and Justin enjoyed cake on the couch in yet another photo. The set finished with balloons and a banner for Jessica that said, “Happy birthday mommy mom!” and was signed by “Phin” and Silas. Her caption was relatable as ever. “Thinking of birthdays past and remembering all the amazing ones Justin and I spent solo,” she wrote. “Now celebrating 40 with [cake] and [balloons] with my other two favorite guys on the planet.” The star of The Sinner went on, “Love you family. Thanks for all the birthday love. 40 feels fresh y’all.”Jessica and Justin’s family became bigger not too long ago. The actress and pop star confirmed they had privately welcomed Phineas in Jan. 2021, a full six months after their little guy’s birth.
Jessica joked about her “secret COVID baby” during a July 2021 appearance on Dax Shepard‘s podcast Armchair Expert “I had, like, a secret COVID baby,” she giggled. Keeping things quiet wasn’t always part of the plan. She said Phinea “wasn’t supposed to be a secret” but “COVID happened, and then I went to Montana with my family and never left.”
