Jessica Simpson Sizzles at 45: New Music, Cherries & Bold Moves!

Jessica Simpson shared a bit of new music on July 10 to mark her 45th birthday

Jessica Simpson Sizzles into Her 45th Year with Sultry New Music Video - and a Whole Lot of Drama!

The one and only Jessica Simpson is turning the big 4-5, and she's celebrating in style! The former Dukes of Hazzard star dropped a brand new music video for her latest single, "Fade," and it's got everyone talking. And we're not just talking about the sizzling hot visuals - although, let's be real, Jessica looks absolutely stunning in that black lingerie and cheetah print coat combo.

But what really has tongues wagging is the drama surrounding her birthday celebration. Jessica took to Instagram to share a sultry clip of herself lounging in a bathtub, scribbling the song title on the tile backsplash with a seductive smile plastered on her face. And if that wasn't enough, she followed it up by sucking on a cherry like it's nobody's business.

The Dukes of Hazard star posted a clip of the music video for her new song Fade, in which she cavorts around a bathroom in black lingerie and a cheetah print coat

"I've been patiently waiting for y'all to get a dose of FADE from the upcoming journey through Nashville Canyon, Part 2," Jessica captioned the post. "Pre-save using the link in bio."

Fans are going wild, praising Jessica's new music and sending birthday wishes galore. But amidst all the celebratory vibes, there's also some juicy gossip floating around.

You see, Jessica has been on a weight loss journey over the past few years - and we're not just talking about any old weight loss journey. We're talking about a 100-pound transformation that's left fans gagging (in a good way, of course). And while some might say it's all about self-acceptance and body positivity, others are convinced that Jessica is capitalizing on her fluctuating weight to sell newspapers and magazines - or at the very least, get more clicks online.

The I Wanna Love You Forever singer spent much of the video in a bathtub writing the name of the song on the tiled backsplash

"I decided, 'Okay, everybody is going to talk about my weight all the time, I might as well make money off of it and turn it into a business of selling clothes and acceptance,'" Jessica told Extra in September 2022. "I mean, who wouldn't want to profit from their own personal drama?"

But let's get back to that birthday celebration. It's been a while since Jessica has celebrated the 4th of July without her ex-husband Eric Johnson - after all, they did announce their separation in January and are currently co-parenting their three kiddos.

According to sources close to the situation, the former couple is still on good terms with one another. "They talk and see each other all the time and have decided that no matter what happens, they will get along for the kids," an insider shared with Us Weekly in May.

She pouted her way through the clip with what appeared to be newly plumped up lips

And speaking of those kids - Maxwell, 13, Birdie, six, and Ace, 11 - Jessica has been working hard to be a positive influence on them. After all, as a mom, she wants nothing but the best for her little ones. And judging by her latest post, it looks like she's already instilling in them some serious confidence.

"Omg! Happy birthday! This song is so dreamy! The world is a better place with you in it," one fan wrote on Jessica's Instagram post. "THIS SOUNDS SOOOO GOOD! I AM READY FOR PART 2!!! CANT GET ENOUGH OF PART 1! LOVE YA JESS!!! ✨✨✨"

So there you have it - Jessica Simpson's sizzling 45th birthday celebration, complete with drama, music, and a whole lot of sass. And if that wasn't enough to get you hooked, just wait until she drops the rest of her album later this year.

'To start off my 45th year ¿round the sun, Imma gonna bright side the journey of life by choosin¿ to be the HAPPY part of my BIRTHDAY,' her caption began
