What has Jessica said about her upcoming projects in 2025?
In a February 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jessica discussed her upcoming romantic drama film, Dreams, which is set for an October release. “It’s undeniably political,” she said of the film. “It definitely delves into the relationship between America and Mexico.”
“If you look at our Statue of Liberty, if you look at how this country was formed, it’s a country that has embraced the excellence of immigrants,” Jessica continued. “I have my own personal politics and personal beliefs that I’m sure are not hard to decipher … But playing Jennifer, I couldn’t filter it through my own moral lens because it would have softened her.”
Describing her character of Jennifer, Jessica noted how layered the character is.
“I mean, I just find her so incredibly lonely,” she told the outlet. “I know she appears to be powerful. That’s what she wants everyone to feel: that she has ultimate power and authority. But the reality is, I think she’s unable to be in any kind of relationship unless she feels she has dominance, and because of that, she really has no power. Do you know what I mean?”
“To be a confident human being, you have to be willing to allow someone to be your equal,” she continued. “With Jennifer, it’s really quite dark. I think she does love Fernando, and the only way she can really know how to love is to feel like she’s in control of and in charge of how the relationship is formulated.”
What else does Jessica have going on?
In July 2025, it was announced that she had officially enrolled in Harvard University's Masters in Public Administration to obtain her Master’s degree, according to Variety.
Per a source, Jessica is taking on the two-year program at The John F. Kennedy School of Government and was spotted in Cambridge, Mass., taking classes in the summer of 2025.
