Baby Jessica’ at 38: People Profiles a Quiet Life, Grandchildren and the Rescue’s Lasting Effects

The new profiles emphasize a low-profile routine defined by family rather than fame.

Overview

  • People reports that Jessica McClure Morales now lives in rural Texas with her husband, Danny, and works in Midland at Richards Horticulture.
  • She has two children, Simon and Sheyenne, and is a grandmother to Emiliano (Nano) and Nolan.
  • A post-rescue trust of about $1.2 million was mostly lost in the 2008 market crash, with remaining funds used to purchase a home.
  • Lasting injuries required multiple surgeries, including forehead reconstruction overseen by Dr. Gordon H. Sasaki, and her right foot remains smaller after reconstruction.
  • She does not remember the rescue, learning about it at age four on Rescue 911, and her parents later divorced, remarried, and now live separately with Chip running Jet Acquisitions in Tennessee.
