What Jessica Simpson Wants in a Man After Eric Johnson Breakup

by

Jessica Simpson is ready for someone to take her breath away. 

After parting ways with her former husband, Eric Johnson, following a decade of marriage, the woman who sings “I Think I’m In Love With You” is now open to finding lasting love in her single life.

Jessica expressed her readiness on Today’s show, specifically on July 23, to Jenna Bush Hager. She explained that she values uniqueness in a person rather than physical attributes or specific styles. For her, it’s appealing when someone is comfortable with who they are without being arrogant. Finding such individuals might be challenging, but Jessica believes they exist somewhere.

The fashion designer, who has children Maxwell (12), Ace (11), and Birdie (5) with a former professional football player, is satisfied with her current lifestyle. She further stated, “If I could maintain the freedom I have now and pass it on to someone else, that would be great.

As for what really makes a prospective love interest irresistible?

Jessica realized she deeply cherishes affection. She’s quite passionate and generous. She excels at kissing, and whoever she’s with must also be an excellent kisser. For her, a good kiss is the epitome of intimacy – it’s as if they could pull her in.

She teased, “Can you tell I need it?”

After confirming their separation six months back, Jessica has been dedicating her time and energy to personal growth and self-care.

She shared with TopMob News in May that she feels incredibly connected to her purpose, perfectly aligned amidst many things. She expressed feeling unusually light and radiant, attributing this sensation to a divine force watching over her.

The 45-year-old’s new chapter has been transformative, both personally and professionally.

She went on to say, “Being a preacher’s daughter was my upbringing. I followed instructions from the record label and fulfilled my responsibilities. Now, my current role is self-driven, aiming to be authentic, unfiltered, and create music that truly resonates with me.

Initially, Jessica revealed that she and Eric parted ways in January. In a statement to TopMob News, she expressed, “Eric and I have been going through a difficult time in our marriage, and we have chosen to live apart.

Putting our kids’ needs first, we’re prioritizing their well-being. We’re thankful for the outpouring of affection we’ve received, and at this moment, we kindly ask for solitude to handle things privately within our family.

Jessica Simpson celebrated Eric Johnson’s 44th birthday alongside their children Maxwell Drew, Ace Knute, and Birdie Mae on September 15, 2023.

In her birthday message for Eric, the fashion designer expressed that she feels so deeply attached to him that it seems as though his affection has possessed her heart, almost making it seem like something outside of herself. “We adore you,” she concluded.

2023’s Valentine’s Day was a dream come true for me! I couldn’t help but exclaim “Whole Lotta Love” when my precious daughter, Birdie, donned Claire’s adorable heart-shaped sunglasses, just as if they were meant for her. It was a sight to behold and filled me with pure joy!

The family of five enjoyed a fun-in-the-sun getaway—and shared the pics to prove it!—in April 2022.

Jessica posted this selfie of herself with Eric and their kids on Easter Sunday 2021.

The family celebrated Birdie Mae’s second birthday in 2021.

Fans can certainly see a resemblance between these two.

These ladies had a blast during the family’s trip to Hawaii in 2019.

“Besties for life,” Jessica captioned this sweet snap of her two oldest kids.

Summer calls for screaming with your baby sister, duh!

On her seventh birthday, Maxwell ate cake for breakfast and the whole family joined in.

Private school uniforms never looked so cute!

In January 2019, Jessica hosted an elegant baby shower for her unborn daughter, Birdie, surrounded by all the women who matter to her.

“Church ready  #THEJOHNSONS,” the singer wrote on her Instagram. 

The singer behind the hit song “I Wanna Love You Forever” knows how to organize an enjoyable birthday celebration. In June 2018, she shared a family photo from Ace’s fifth birthday on Instagram, captioning it as, “A five-year-old’s paradise: Baseball and Parrots! #ACEKNUTE #5 #ParrotParadise #GreenSox.

In May 2018, the Simpsons’ women folk, accompanied by their daughters, made fond memories at Disneyland that could be compared to Minnie Mouse herself.

While in New York, the family went to see Frozen on Broadway and they were all smiles.

For Maxwell’s sixth birthday the family had a Greatest Showman themed bash and it looked amazing.

For the Easter 2018 family photo, the four blooming figures posed with delightful grins. The singer and her daughter were a charming duo, perfectly coordinated in their pink-themed outfits with captivating prints!

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but swoon over Jess’ charming duo, all decked out in green and gold for the festive St. Patrick’s Day! They flash their irresistible smiles in this adorably festive snapshot.

No family does Halloween better than the Simpson-Johnson fam.

At Ace’s 4th birthday party themed around the movie Moana held in July 2017, a group picture was taken featuring members of the tropical team gathered closely together. Two actors portraying the characters Moana and Maui from the beloved film were also part of this photo.

Mermaid magic was the theme of Maxwell’s fifth birthday…can you tell?

As a lifestyle aficionado, I often peek backstage to capture those priceless moments of my children getting ready for their flawless school portraits.

Sandy and Danny had a lot to handle with their parrot and octopus kids on Halloween in 2016.

During a family vacation, Jess playfully blows a kiss towards the camera while her young adventurers strike a pose, their mouths gaping open in amazement. We absolutely adore these intrepid travel companions!
