2) Both of her parents are Italian immigrants. Her father, Salvo was a hairstylist, and her mother, Rose was a secretary. Her parents have Sicilian origins.
3) In an interview with CBS News, Jessica admitted to taking part in family jokes, including ones about her father’s “man cave domain.” She said that he has a man cave — their house! It’s jokes like these that run through the family, and give Sebastian ideas for his stand-up.
