Jessica Simpson’s recent 100-pound weight loss has had a transformative impact on her life, according to a new report by Page Six. A source revealed that the dramatic weight loss has unlocked a “whole new side” of her personality.
The source added that Simpson now feels like she’s 21 again, but with a newfound sense of freedom compared to her younger years. At 21, she was married to TV star Nick Lachey and had to maintain a public image. However, Simpson now feels “irresistible,” which played a role in her decision to end her marriage to her second husband, Eric Johnson.
Simpson has faced challenges with her weight throughout the years. In the past, she resorted to intense gym routines and restrictive diets to stay slim. As she shared in her memoir, Simpson has lost and regained 100 pounds three times in her life.
In a recent interview with Bustle, Simpson clarified that her weight loss wasn’t aided by medications like Ozempic. “It’s willpower,” she said, emphasizing that her journey was driven by determination rather than external factors.
Despite the personal changes, Simpson remains focused on her children. A source told People that Simpson and Johnson are committed to co-parenting and putting their kids first. The couple, who married in 2014, share three children: ages 12, 5, and 11.
Simpson also confirmed to People that she and Johnson are living separately as they navigate their marital issues. “We are focusing on what is best for them,” she said, expressing gratitude for the support they’ve received. A source added that the couple has already arranged a new schedule for their children and that both parents remain devoted to their well-being.
