It’s actually extremely rude to ask someone “when are you having children”? Someone may not be able to have children or may be really against having them. People need to be more considerate!

[@TiianaaRosee]

100% agree!

[@Polinaparvanova]

Or asking if they’re pregnant, which is an insult on their appearance if they aren’t. Anything to do with having children, they will tell you when it’s time

[@LL-wu5ui]

Not 'extremely rude" but nosy for sure.

[@Sona77.]

So true!

[@Louisiana666]

@@LL-wu5ui it’s pretty rude

[@waseemakhan28]

Jess is like the big sister we never had❤

[@nsilvaguzman]

So trueeeeee

[@melissa-xh1li]

She is our big sister 🙈🙈🙈

[@kellyncapps5033]

We are the same age, so she couldn't be my big sister but I think she would be a great friend! 🤗

[@SaGr101]

Totally! 💯

[@AyeshaBegum-zt8ty]

Yes

[@LittleBitOfLife]

Oh Jess. I can feel your heart being pulled in two different directions - staying in FL with Gabe's family and away from yours in AU, or going to AU and being away from Gabe's family. Praying for clarity and comfort during this season.

[@Taylor_xo]

This is why teleportation needs to be a thing!

[@Forever-gd7vs]

It's really become a lot in Jess, I see that her heart wants to be in Australia, She doesn't seem to find her happy purpose in the US, being away from her family had been that cause. Although it's hard for her to make that decision when it's her family in another country.

[@Taylor_xo]

@@Forever-gd7vs I don’t blame her for wanting to be in Australia I may be bias but it’s a wonderful country, even though our house prices are A LOT higher the way of life is just better over here (I’ve lived in America for a few years for work & have an American boyfriend so I can make these statements) plus free healthcare, a gun law and being with her family is always a plus. But then if they move here it will be Gabe missing his family.

[@Jamiebythesea]

I’m from California and moved to Australia a couple years ago to be with my Australian partner. It’s HARD to be away from family and always surrounded by your partner’s family and friends and not yours

[@LL-wu5ui]

Ummm... when has being away your husband's family become such a problem? If Gabe wanted to go to AU, then 100% go for it. If not, that's when your heart gets torn - being away from your family or your husband. I understand sometimes your husband's family can be above yours... (if your family sucks)... but it seems like her family is great, so they are obviously miles above her husband's.

[@jannestam]

i thought she said “pasta” when she was talking about the pastor haha i love her accent

[@karinnaaao7753]

I think there was a video where gabe was telling jess to say pasta and paster and the way she said it sounded exactly the same and they both laughed or something lol but her accent is so nice 😌 i love it too haha

[@BrendaLedesmaBLfoto]

Me too!! So funny 😃

[@yutassmilehealsme6572]

I’m Australian and I pronounce pasta as Paaahsta (if this makes sense lmao) like with a long ‘ahhh’ sound

[@lisamedla]

@@buhlekamqhelesikhakhane5705 Kenyan here...doesn't it sound different in West African pingin. I'm sure a Nigerian pastor has more of an o vowel while pasta is more of an a...if that makes sense.

I really feel like people should stop asking her about having kids. She's only 24 years old. I have the same age and I have sooo many plans yet to do, even if I would really love to be a mom on the future. Plus, we don't really know what's the reality of the people we watch on the other side of the screen. Who knows, maybe they're really struggling and all of these questions do not help them. Love u Jess 💛

[@norahope3775]

Exactly! 😩 thank you for this. So personal and kind of rude to ask

[@CKLEE003]

Right

[@lamar9331]

I can't stand when people/family ask a newly married couple "when are you having kids"? It's none of anyone's business. Maybe they don't want kids, maybe they want to wait. It's like asking what kind of birth control you use.

[@shaniadearmas9768]

gotta have an even number of kids so everyone has a roller coaster buddy at disney

When you get married you do not meet the real person; you just meet her ambassador. When you get divorced Then you meet that person.

Jess is so sweet❤️ she’s going to be the best mum. Not saying this as a way to rush them into having kids, just that whenever the time comes she’s going to make such a sweet mum

Jess and Gabriel videos are my healing pill ❤ I learn how to love myself more and to appreciate what I have in life. I hope that someday I'll find the love Gabe and Jess share with each other.

[@ghostbunny3870]

I’m so ready for a GRWM and Favorite Products videos from you, Jess! Summer is coming and I love this glow you’ve had ever since moving to Florida. I move back to FL in a couple months and seeing you both look so healthy and vibrant is making me wanna know if you have any new makeup or skincare products + I just miss the girly chats!

[@amberdpaige]

The bit about having one child each on the plane definitely made sense. My siblings are all very close in age and when we were flying when they were younger (3 kids under 3) they had to either be sat on someone or you had to pay a lot extra for the carseat to be fitted to the seat, was such a faf. Love your videos !!!!!!!

[@rickispek]

Jess, I just want to thank you for inspiring me to be a better person everyday! You’re so kind🥺❤️

[@BeccaFilipski]

Thank you for the honest chat Jess! I love how open you are. I can definitely agree that Florida is an adjustment. I lived in Winter Park FL from 2016-2018. I got my Masters Degree from Full Sail. It took me a good year to call it home, so you’re not alone there!! And, you and Gabe should have kids when you’re ready! God will tell you when the time is right! Just keep going on the path that God is setting you on. You’re amazing and I love you! Thank you for being the friend that I wanted and have been searching for!❤️ and I just joined the text! Look forward to chatting with you!

[@HayooshSHS]

Wish I could do a drive chat up kinda thing with Jess, that would make me feel happy honestly 💛🦋

Jess I just wanna say that my heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine not being able to see my family for over a year. I will be praying that you can see them really soon. I also just love your personality. You really just have such a beautiful soul. You have just such a soft, sweet, and genuine personality and it just shows how much you love Jesus. Although you may get sad, you push through it and try to find the positive. You are such a gem and I really appreciate your videos.

I grew up overseas in a family of 5 kids and we constantly travelled to and from the States. Don't let traveling be a deterrent for how many kids you want. We got used to all the traveling at such young ages (we flew before we could walk), that we quickly became very good travelers.

[@tabascopotatie7125]

I hope you guys feel better about the move, whenever i moved to where i am i left all my friends, and church behind, and only one friend stayed in touch. It took me about 6 months to feel any peace and i’m antsy now and ready to move so where again. I hope you guys find peace somewhere and i know God will lead you guys exactly where your suposed to go. Thanks for the Vlogs and content even when its hard, you guys are who i turn to on my bad days to just relate or cheer up. Love you guys!!💛

Please vlog more about marriage, you guys have an incredible relationship and I think so many other married couples could benefit from knowing how you deal with disagreements and differences and showing or sharing more when things are not so perfect.
