Jessica Sanchez is now a mom!

The America's Got Talent Season 20 winner welcomed her first baby with husband Rickie Gallardo last Oct. 13, named Eliana Mae.

"From one dream season to the next. This time, the most precious one yet. We are grateful beyond words for our baby girl, for the gift of motherhood, and for the love that grows deeper every day," she wrote.

Fellow AGT contestants, the dance crew Team Recycled, extended their congratulations in the comment section with a touching reference: 

"Welcome, Eliana! We [c]an forever say, that we already shared one stage with you! And again, congrats to the Sanchez/Gallardo Family," they wrote.

In July, Sanchez gave a glimpse of her pregnancy after first announcing it on the AGT stage, when she got the elusive golden buzzer.

She shared a carousel that included the ultrasound, a sweet kiss with her partner, a video selfie showcasing her baby bump, more photos of her baby bump, pregnancy tests, and a Bible verse about God doing the impossible.

"Our hearts are so full," Sanchez said in the caption. "This is my first time sharing about the pregnancy, and it’s been so hard keeping it quiet these past 5 months! Thank you all for the love, support, and sweet messages — it truly means the world. Most of all, thank You God for this beautiful blessing growing inside me."

Sanchez bested nine other finalists last month and won by live audience voting. Aside from major exposure to millions of viewers worldwide throughout the season, she brings home $1 million (~P58 million) in prize money.
