Is Jessie James Decker gearing up for another bun in the oven?
The singer shared her husband Eric Decker‘s response to her request to give their family another shot at welcoming a kid. The couple, who said “I do” in June 2013, currently share four children: a daughter, Vivianne, and sons Eric Jr, Forrest, and Denver.
The lovebirds’ story was nothing short of a textbook romance. Mutual friends introduced them, and within two years of dating, they tied the knot. Over the years, Jessie James Decker has gushed about her love for her husband and how they tag-team to make their marriage work.
Jessie may be ready for another baby, but her husband has yet to key into the vision. The singer shared a hilarious clip of Eric in a joint post on Sunday, August 9, showing his reaction after she “texted” him asking for baby number 5.
In the video, Jessie zoomed in on the former NFL player, who was seen sitting by what appears to be a lake, enjoying the day before checking his phone to read his wife’s text. Eric, shirtless, quickly drops his phone, exhales, puts his hands behind his head, and walks off.
The following clip then shows Eric taking off in a kayak as Jessie calls out to him. Over Mariah Carey’s hit “Without You,” which played as the background music for the Instagram reel, the singer could be heard saying, “Where are you going?!” “Eric! Come back!”
The athlete looked over his shoulder with no response as he continued to kayak away while his wife laughed on the docks.
What Do Fans Think About Eric’s Hilarious Reaction?
“I guess that’s a maybe?[upside down smiley face] [rolling laughter emoji] #marriedlife #marriage #couples,” Jessie captioned the post, which gave many fans a good laugh. A fan jumping in on the joke wrote, “I suppose not a ‘maybe’ [laughing emoji] more like, ‘I’ll think about, [sic] let me take a long ass stroll!’ See ya!! [laughing emoji].”
The singer’s post has received thousands of comments, many of which were laughing emojis from fans. Other netizens put into words how funny the post was, amid sharing that they resonated with either Eric or Jessie in their own marriages.
“He’s going for the vasectomy [ laughing emoji],” a follower noted, while another joked, “He’s going to get milk; he’ll be back soon.” Other users joked that Eric was trying to run away from Jessie but would not get that far, while several fans highlighted that the couple makes cute babies. “What’s one more? When you have the cutest babies on the planet!!” a fan penned.
Jessie James Decker & Eric Decker’s ‘Value System’ Keeps Their Marriage Going
Last year, Jessie and Eric opened up about how they managed to keep their marriage strong after 12 years of nuptial bliss and welcoming four kids. According to the retired NFL player, their shared value system and community have played a pivotal role in their home and marriage.
“Obviously, we’re rooted in our value system, where we have four kids. We do love the community we raise our kids in [in Nashville]. We take time to just be home and, in a sense, be with our family, that grounds us,” he said while talking to Fox News.
Jessie echoed a similar sentiment, chiming in that they “viewed the world the same way.” She explained that their general views on various aspects of life were aligned, including how they’ve chosen to raise their children, handle finances, and more. The “Wanted” Singer stressed that being on the same page with one’s spouse was the basis of a strong foundation for a marriage.
Inside The Power Couple’s Love Story
Eric walked into Jessie’s life at a time when she had decided she was “swearing off men” due to the ugly experiences she had in the dating pool at the time. They were connected by mutual friends in 2011 after one of the singer’s friends texted her about Eric.
“I got a text from my girlfriend who said, ‘I’m having dinner with this guy I’m seeing, and this other guy just showed up, and he’s stunning,’” Jessie previously recalled. E! News reported that she was initially hesitant but found it hard to say no after her friend sent a picture of Eric.
Seeing the 6’3 athlete, Jessie sent her own picture before giving her friend the go-ahead to play matchmaker. The lovebirds talked over the phone for weeks before the retired NFL player flew out to Nashville to spend the weekend with his new beau, where he asked her to be his girlfriend officially at the airport.
They worked through their relationship, learning from each other, and by the time they marked their first anniversary as a couple, Eric popped the question.
“Not only is he the best father and husband in the whole world, but he is so damn fine I literally want to lick his face every time he walks into the room,” Jessie said of her husband, and it is safe to say their love grows deeper with each passing day.
Can Jessie James Decker And Her Husband Afford To Have Another Kid?
In response to Jessie’s recent post, some commenters noted that Eric’s reaction stemmed from his concerns about the finances he would have to shoulder if they had another child.
Could this be true? According to last year’s reports from Reality Tea, the athlete has an estimated net worth of $22 million from his career as a pro-footballer, brand endorsements, real estate, and reality TV appearances.
Eric played in the NFL for eight seasons as a wide receiver under four prolific teams before hanging up his boots before the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple’s Nashville estate is also worth around $10 million.
The country singer, on the other hand, also earns income as a TV personality, singer, songwriter, and fashion entrepreneur. Her net worth is estimated at $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Outside of her music career, Jessie is known for appearing alongside her husband, Eric, in “Eric & Jessie: Game On,” a reality TV series that follows their relationship and ran for three seasons before ending in 2017.
Will Jessie James Decker successfully convince her husband to get on board with the baby plan?
