'He was like, ‘I’m broke. I play baseball and I’m gone all the time, but I love you.’' When J.P. France met his wife Jessica, she was famous and he had signed for $1,000. Chandler_Rome has the story of France's MLB debut, through Jessica's eyes:
’s boyhood dream would become reality. His wife, Jessica, was juggling her nerves and her baby, 3-month-old Liam. France’s best friend, Ryan Silva, had just left with the baby to receive a certificate commemorating France’s first major-league game. “Should say daddy’s first start,” Silva said while showing Jessica the piece of paper.“That was his first dream in life,” Jessica said, pointing to Liam. “And parallel to that dream was becoming a major-league baseball player.
“I completely turned my whole life around for him,” Jessica said. “I was working in Aspen as a chef, had a company car and a mountainside condo and was living my best life. I met him and he was like, ‘I’m broke. I play baseball and I’m gone all the time, but I love you.’ And I was like, ‘Cool, I’m down, I love you too.’”
“I’ve been on reality TV and I’ve taken trips all over the world,” Jessica said. “I was living this kind of boujee lifestyle and I think he felt like he had to measure up to that. None of that, not one second of that, is ever worth not loving you. I would eat peanut butter and jellies with him in a town on the side of the road before I would go back to living that way because he’s my best friend. Not many people get to have that.
