A former beauty queen and cheerleader, Jessica fell hard for Ray in high school and followed him to Florida when he got a baseball scholarship, and Atlanta when he was recruited by the Braves. But after he was sidelined by an injury and they had to return to their old hometown, the magic wore thin. After years struggling as the wife of a public school teacher, Jessica found that who she chose in high school no longer worked for her and found love with Ronnie Haxon, her dermatologist. Following an acrimonious break-up, she and Ray struggle to co-parent their twins.
