Even a few years ago when she was criticized for wearing mom jeans and pointed out on The Oprah Winfrey Show the pair was actually a size six, Jessica added she doesn't lose sleep over scrutiny. "Everybody fluctuates but I'm open about my weight and I'm still confident. I don't cry about it too much."
During the interview it sounds like Jessica is very grounded and doesn't have an official wedding date set yet. Considering she hasn't tried on a wedding dress yet, she added, "I'm not looking for more fame or money. I feel very secure in those areas."
