From Instagram Skits to Author: The Rise of Jess Hilarious
Jessica Robin Moore didnât start her career in traditional media. She began posting funny videos on Instagram in 2015, quickly building a massive following with her signature segment, âJess with the Mess.â Her raw humor and relatable content struck a chord with millions, launching her into stardom on social media before transitioning to television and radio.
Today, sheâs a stand-up comedian, actress, radio personality, and author. Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, sheâs become one of the most recognizable voices in entertainment, known for her unapologetic honesty and quick wit. Her journey proves that authenticity connects with people.
The Story Behind âTil Death Do We Parent
Jess Hilarious saw a gap in the market for co-parenting resources written with humor and real-life wisdom. She co-authored the memoir with her ex and 14-year-old son Ashtonâs father, Gerome (Rome), creating a refreshing perspective that goes beyond the typical parenting guide. The book explores their journey from dysfunction to respect and accountability.
What makes this book special is its two-perspective narrative. Rather than telling only her side, Jess included Romeâs voice throughout, showing her commitment to presenting a balanced story. She told Essence, âI didnât want to be selfish. Ash has both his parents. I had to include Rome, too. He did his dirt and stuff, but I did mine as well. I take accountability.â
Key Themes and Insights from the Memoir
The 284-page hardcover book tackles difficult subjects including infidelity, blended families, setting boundaries, and prioritizing children. Jess addresses the âsneaking and freakingâ phenomenon where co-parents continue physical relationships, confusing children. She also shares her personal journey of learning to date responsibly as a single mother.

Jess revealed that she learned hard lessons about dating with children. She shared with Essence how one boyfriend left her baby alone for 5 to 6 hours, a wake-up call that changed her approach entirely. She now advocates for deep vetting of potential partners, asking about their own childhood, family relationships, and emotional maturity.
âI didnât always get it right. I found myself dating selfishly. I didnât realize it until one of the guys I was dating left my baby at home for 5 or 6 hours. Thatâs in the book as well. When you had that baby and you moved on from their father, now you have to carefully approach the dating process.â
