Jessica Simpson & Mini-Me Maxwell: Paris Birthday Fun Amid Split!
JESSICA SIMPSON SPILLS TEA ON PARISIAN BIRTHDAY BASH WITH MINI-ME MAXWELL
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Jessica Simpson, and we're not just talking about her high-profile divorce from Eric Johnson! The pop star, 44, has been living it up with her teenage daughter Maxwell Drew in the City of Love - Paris! And, honey, they're giving us all the fashion goals.
Last Tuesday, Jessica shared a stunning selfie with Maxwell on her social media channels, captioning it: "Let the good times roll into the 7th grade my beautiful Maxwell Drew!" The mother-daughter duo was celebrating Maxwell's 13th birthday in style, and we can't help but feel like we're getting an exclusive look at their fabulous adventure.
But what really caught our attention is Jessica's gushing praise for her eldest child. "I learn a lot from Maxwell," the singer revealed to Extra in May. "I don't know if she's just my firstborn or what, but she's just a well of depth... She's so amazing." And it's clear why - Maxwell seems like a true fashionista at heart! Jessica raved about her daughter's incredible knowledge of Parisian hotspots, crediting TikTok for her insider info. "She knew more about Paris than my mom and I," the singer exclaimed. "So, you know, she had the nose... She loves perfume, so going to a perfumery, creating our own perfume. She'll say, 'No, for the Maxwell Johnson Collection.'"
We're living for this sassy mini-me's confidence! But it looks like Jessica is beaming with pride about her little one's unique personality. "She's an old soul," the singer gushed. And who can blame her? With a mom as fabulous as Jessica Simpson, it's no wonder Maxwell has grown up to be such a stylish and charming young lady.
But let's get back to that divorce of ours... Jessica and Eric Johnson have been officially separated since January, after 10 years of marriage. And speaking of assets, their $11.5M Hidden Hills marital mansion is now on the market for a whopping $17.9M! Guess they're splitting the wealth - but who wouldn't want to keep living in that luxurious pad?
We also can't help but think about Jessica's musical comeback, which got off to a slightly rocky start during her performance on American Idol last month. The singer was roasted by critics for her "cringey" rendition of new single "Blame Me" and a cover of "(You're the) Pretty Thing," but we think she rocked it! "I was dying," Jessica admitted to Extra, recalling the experience. "I had to put hairspray on my feet to stand still... I'm like, 'My feet don't sweat.'" Aw, come on, Jess - you were nervous? Who wouldn't be?!
The platinum-blonde Texan will be releasing her EP Nashville Canyon: Part 2 this summer, so mark your calendars and get ready for some more sassy tunes from this pop icon! And if that's not enough, Jessica will also be starring in the upcoming Hulu series All's Fair, alongside a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Matthew Noszka, Elizabeth Berkley, Ed O'Neill, Judith Light, and Brooke Shields. Talk about a girl power moment!
But let's not forget the most impressive news of all: Jessica has been celebrating SEVEN YEARS OF SOBRIETY since November 1! We're beyond proud of this strong mom for her commitment to health and wellness.
And lastly, we can't resist mentioning that first famous romance between Jessica and Nick Lachey on MTV reality show Newlyweds (2003-2005). Who remembers that quirky demeanor and those three-octave soprano pipes? Ah, the good old days!
