In a chat with Us Weekly, the 28-year-old shared his feelings about rewatching that emotional moment. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as tough as he anticipated. “I was really scared,” he admitted, recalling the long tearful conversation with his buddy West Wilson.

Sometimes they just spill over,” Jesse reflected. Thankfully, his doctor’s appointment went well, though it had its moments of tension.
