In the last 14 years, Jessica Simpson has gone through a lot of changes. She divorced Nick Lachey, dated a lot of men like John Mayer before settling down with Eric Johnson and having three kids with him, and gained and lost a lot of weight.
Today, she turned 40, and she realized she can still fit in a pair of jeans that she had when she was still married to Lachey. If that doesn’t make her think that her 40s are going to be fabulous, nothing will.
On July 10th, Jessica Simpson is going to turn the big 4-0. However, you would never know it looking at the mother of three in a bikini from her collection. Being sober does wonders for her body!
In 2003, Jessica Simpson was on the cover of Rolling Stone as Housewife of the Year. Back then she was a newlywed to Nick Lachey, and they did not have any kids. Therefore, she wore just a tank top, undies and high heels to clean the house.
That was then. Now, she is married to Eric Johnson and they have three kids. When it is time to mop the floors, she dresses a lot differently. In 2020, her underwear is covered up with sweats, her hair is up and there is no makeup on her face.
Proving to her and us that “Housewife of the Year looks a little different these days 😜.” Actually, housewives do look a lot different these days because of the ones on Bravo.
Back when Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Jessica Simpson were preteens, they were all on the Mickey Mouse Club. An age when your hormones are going crazy. So imagine when you put that many good looking kids in one place, they are going to have crushes on each other.
Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake had one on Jessica Simpson, so they made a bet who would get to kiss her first. Which one got to first with her first? The guy who is bringing Sexy Back.
However, he did not do it when they were kids. Instead, it happened when they were in their 20’s, and both singers were single. She told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday they were hanging out and the two made out. Then when they were done, he took out his phone and started texting someone. She thought she did something wrong, but then he admitted the bet to her. Yet, he did not tell her what they won.
While he might have won the bet, he would not have gotten the girl back then. Simpson had Gossling in her notebook of crushes. She thought he was cool because he was from Canada, a place she could not find on a map.
This story and some of the other things she told Kimmel, makes me want to read her autobiography Open Book even more on Tuesday.
Jessica Simpson has a memoir coming out, and in it, she gets real about her life. This morning she spoke to Hoda Kotb on Today about parts of her book that are not easy to read.
The singer was sexually abused by a family friend for six years starting when she was just 6 years old. She knew it was wrong, but she did not know how to tell anyone about it. One day she told her parents, and she never had to go back to his house again. She also says her parents did not know how to talk to her about it.
When she was teenager, she was offered a record deal. They told to lose 15 pounds and that order started her 20-year addiction diet pills.
Also, when she was a teenager, she met Nick Lachey. As soon as she saw him, she knew he was going to be her husband. Together they were good. Yet, when their careers were separate, they were not as good. Her getting all the attention was hard on their marriage. When she couldn’t fake it anymore, they got divorced.
Eventually, she met Eric Johnson, the man of her dreams, and they have three kids together. They looked happy, but she was always drinking. In photos,, it appeared that everything was perfect and that is what she wanted us to see. When the cameras were not flashing, she had no idea what was going on.
Then on Halloween in 2017, she knew she had to stop. She had no idea who got her kids ready for Halloween, and she wanted to be present as a mom. She stopped drinking, went to therapy and got her life back on track. Or maybe you can say for the first time in her life.
Now, she is sober, an author, and she is ready to get back to what she does best. That is singing. She will have new music coming out along with the book. Open book comes out on Febraury 4th.
