Jessica Simpson's Candid Take on Love: What She Wants in Her Next Partner
Jessica Simpson Spills the Tea on Her Dating Non-Negotiables and Reveals She's Ready to Move On from Ex-Husband Eric Johnson!
Get ready for a juicy dose of celebrity gossip, folks! Jessica Simpson is speaking out about her dating life, and it's safe to say she's not holding back. The 44-year-old pop sensation opened up about her relationship non-negotiables during an appearance on NBC's Today show with Jenna Bush Hager.
When asked what she's looking for in a man, Simpson revealed that she's all about finding someone who exudes confidence without the ego. "My type of person is a one-of-a-kind," she gushed. "I don’t have like, a look or anything like that. I just like for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego."
Simpson's comment about wanting "confidence without the ego" seemed to take aim at her rocky relationship with first husband Nick Lachey, which was documented on their reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The former couple struggled with his resentment of her career, and Simpson has previously spoken out about feeling crushed by the media and themselves.
Fast-forward to present day, and Simpson is ready to move on from her marriage to Eric Johnson, whom she split from earlier this year after 10 years together. "I feel like it’s out there, and I don’t need somebody to be supportive of me all the time," she said. "I feel like the independence I have right now, if I can have that and give it to someone else, that would be cool."
So, what's next for Simpson? She revealed that she's not looking to get married again but is instead focusing on finding someone who can keep up with her fiery personality. "I'm a very passionate person," she said. "I have a lot to give, and I need someone who can match that energy."
And speaking of energy, Simpson emphasized that whoever she dates next has to be "a very good kisser." "See, that’s like the most intimate thing. Grab my face and pull me in! Can you tell I need it?" she joked.
As for her ex-husband Johnson, Simpson revealed that they remain on amicable terms, despite their separation. "They talk and see each other all the time," a source told The Scholarly Note. "They love each other and will always be supportive of one another."
But don't expect Simpson to be jumping back into the dating pool just yet. "I'm a very single lady," she recently told The Scholarly Note. "I mean, I’m not getting on the apps yet. I would love for a friend to set me up. Are you kidding me?"
In the meantime, Simpson is focusing on her music and using it as a way to heal from the emotional fallout of her marriage ending. "In the face of life completely changing, music saved my life," she said during her Today appearance.
The actress also revealed that she's been spending time in Nashville, where she found solace in the city's songwriting community. "Nashville saved my life," she said. "All the songwriters, the band, everybody, like, it was just one of those things, where I really connected to my soul."
As Simpson navigates this new chapter of her life, it's clear that she's ready to take on whatever comes next with courage and determination. And who knows? Maybe a certain someone will come along and grab her face, pulling her in for a kiss that will leave her breathless.
