In 2022 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top.

She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Athayde Burger” chain) in Lisbon, a Football Team (the “Lisbon Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderathayde - Portugal), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jessica) and a fashion line called “Jessica Athayde Seduction”.
