With everything going on in the world right now, it’s hard to look back at the last few months and give yourself credit for getting through. Jessie James Decker is doing just that.
The 32-year-old country star, her former NFL wide receiver hubby Eric Decker, and their three children have been hunkered down in their Nashville home. While being home with three kids under the age of six may sound like a major challenge to some, Jessie and Eric have pulled it off. She believes it’s been a blessing for their family.
“I just feel like we were able to kind of slow down a little bit from work,” she explained to Entertainment Tonight.
“You know, I was starting to get really busy again, because I just signed another record deal, and I was going to have travel coming up and I just feel like we were all just together. We’re always together, we’re very family-oriented, but this almost forced us to just be together 24/7, like it did all the families out there.”
“I’ve loved it,” she continued.
“[But] I’m not gonna lie, it’s been challenging at some points with the kids. It gets a little overwhelming.”
For Jessie, the hardest part has been getting in alone time with her husband. “Well, the homeschooling was really hard, and I do feel like there were times where Eric and I just wanted to have some one-on-one alone time. That was a little bit of a challenge, because we had to get creative in how to be alone together,” she said.
“We were with the kids 24/7, so it’s like, oh my God, can we please just get some time alone, just have a conversation? But it’s part of life, you know, they’re little ones.”
When it comes to couples working on quarantine babies, Jessie says she and Eric aren’t on that list. “I feel like the quarantine has made us kind of pump the breaks a little bit,” she says of wanting more children.
“Maybe we’re good with three. No quarantine babies, no, but you know, I always say never say never. We haven’t done anything permanently to not have another baby, but we’re not trying to have another baby.”
