Born in 1988, Jessie James Decker began singing and performing when she was a young girl. Encouraged by her mother, Karen Parker, Decker (born Jessica James) traveled all around the country, performing at state fairs and trying to further her musical career.
By the age of fifteen, Decker began working with a producer in Nashville, Tennessee, which led to her first big record deal.

Around the same time, she began touring with successful stars like Kid Rock and The Jonas Brothers. Although Decker floundered a bit in the music industry as she tried to find the genre where she fits best, her personal life was flourishing.
She began dating Eric Decker and in early 2013, the pair tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony that was filmed for television.

How does Jessie James Decker respond to ‘mom-shaming’?
Jessie James Decker might wear many hats, but the one that keeps her the busiest is the role of mom. As much as she enjoys sharing little family moments with her followers, she has been open about how she has experienced “mom-shaming” from time to time.
Whether it is the photos that she shares of her breastfeeding her babies to moments where she is snapped wearing underwear in front of her toddlers, Decker doesn’t hold back on sharing unfiltered moments — and occasionally gets backlash for it. Still, Decker doesn’t dwell on the haters.
She admitted that she is not “one of those people that sits and combs through the comments” to look for the negative. “Sometimes, I’ll write a little smart-aleck comment back just to be funny, but I don’t really read them,” she said. “I feel like I’m kind of in the dark.”
In general, Jessie James Decker is “not ashamed” of the way that she parents, and is confident in her mothering skills — no matter what negativity she might receive from time to time.
