Jesse Vasquez
Mark Damon Espinoza portrays Jesse Vasquez (Seasons 4–5), who became Andrea Zuckerman's love interest in Season 4. Jesse met Andrea while he was bartending at a party for the Walshes' 20th wedding anniversary with then-boyfriend Dan, and Andrea quickly fell for him. After she got pregnant, Jesse proposed to her, and after receiving her grandmother's blessing they were married in a civil ceremony. Jesse was a rock for Andrea during her difficult premature delivery and the scary months until their daughter Hannah was able to leave the NICU and go home, but the pressures of college, work, and raising their daughter began to drive them apart in Season 5. Jesse admitted his own infidelity to Andrea and her own admission she had cheated on him nearly drove them apart for good. Jesse turned down a prestigious legal clerkship in Boise because Andrea didn't want to move there, and later arranged for them to head to New Haven, CT so they could both study at Yale. In Season 6, Andrea tells her friends that Jesse is about to make partner at his new law firm, but by Season 8 she has a furious fight with him (over the phone) and later reveals Jesse and she are getting divorced.
