BB8 Jessica Hughbanks just announced the death of her husband Matt Brokaw at age 50 after his battle with esophageal and gastric cancer. May Matt rest in peace, and may his memory bring comfort to Jessica, their children and all who loved him.

    The way I lit up in excitement and curiosity when I saw Jessica, Jameka, and Amber thinking I would hear about what they’re doing today only to get sucker punched by tragedy 😔

    I hope she and her family are doing well.

    R.I.P. Matt Brokaw.

    Me too Jessica was so underrated and under appreciated during that season she had an amazing social game and was a significant comp threat

    Omg no way! I just watched her season a few weeks ago, I loved her so much. 50 is extremely young, I really hope she and her boys will be okay going forward. I know it probably doesn’t make it easier, but atleast it was kind of expected that it could come sooner rather than later.

    Right?! I just turned 40 last year so realizing I am only 10 years from that age is scary...

    this article says that eric and jessica dated for ten years after big brother, is this true?

    edit: please don’t downvote me for asking a question, the article legitimately says they dated for a decade after the show.

    They dated for about a year by the time BB10 rolled around they were broken up

    Not even that long. They had to host a comp in BB9 as a “couple” and were already broken up.

    Definitely not, they broke up within a year. On top of it, when she was coming back for BB11 they were not together.

    Alot of people rightly clock Eric Stein as one of, if not the best player in the house on BB8, and that he'd win against everyone if he made it to the end, but Jessica was honestly the player with the most win equity in the house. If she wasn't forced to go along with Eric in flipping towards the Donatos and voting out Dustin, she and Eric probably run the house to the final 2 and she beats him because of how well rounded and likable she was compared to him.
