Sex & the Single Mom is a 2003 Lifetime made for television drama film directed by Don McBrearty and starring Gail O'Grady, Grant Show, and Danielle Panabaker.

[1][2] Jess (Gail O'Grady) a female paralegal and studying to become a lawyer, is a single and overly concerned mother of a 15-year-old girl, Sara (Danielle Panabaker).

One day during court, Jess meets Alex Lofton (Grant Show) a heart surgeon from Atlanta Georgia, who is currently separated from his wife and has two children.

A few months later, Jess goes into labor, and gives birth to a baby boy she decides to name Jake, after her father, who died some time ago.

The Oklahoma Gazette panned the movie overall, while DVD Verdict gave a more positive review for Sex and the Single Mom, saying it was "quite entertaining, well acted, and well made, save for certain unnecessary plot developments".

Alex comes over to Jess's house unannounced and finds out about his son Jake to whom he knew nothing about and meets Sarah.
