Jessica Simpson’s Best Quotes About Motherhood and Kids: I Like My ‘Big’ Boobs Now

Jessica Simpson revealed that she and husband Eric Johnson were suffering from “baby fever” in April 2018. “We always practice,” the pop-star-turned-fashion-mogul told Entertainment Tonight about having a third child. “But it would definitely have to be a miracle.” Five months later, on September 18, Simpson announced on Instagram that Maxwell and Ace would be getting little sister. “This baby girl will make us a family of five,” the singer wrote. “We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life.” Birdie Mae made her debut in March 2019, and the fashion designer celebrated her youngest's 1st birthday the following year with an Instagram slideshow. "You have created in me a healing purposeful life to live most fully and love most deeply," Simpson wrote to her "angel baby" in March 2020. "With you my soul has been set free to the beauty of pure light. You guide me to shine because your heartbeat connected me to mine. Sweet baby girl, you have illuminated all of our worlds with your bright mystical star-bursting smile. I am forever yours, you are forever mine. Life get ready because the both of us were born ready. I love you!" She and Johnson started growing their family in 2012 and tied the knot two years later. The Texas native called the athlete her "perfect soulmate" on their 6th wedding anniversary in July 2020. "Our unity was written in God’s sky of colliding stars," she captioned a photo with the former professional football player. "Together we manifest dreams, nurture desire and hold space. Destined, it always has been and always will be, forevermore." During an interview with Us Weekly in April 2022, the actress revealed that she didn't have plans to have more kids. “I have no baby fever,” she exclusively told Us at the time. “The third pregnancy for me [in 2019], that was it. I can’t do that again. The last pregnancy for me was really hard.” The Dukes of Hazzard star found that that having a child “later in life” was “a lot harder” than she expected. “It’s just something that you end up accepting,” Simpson added. “I got a great child out of it who I adore and love and she rules the house. She definitely is the most heard in the family.” Scroll through the photos below to hear Simpson’s musings on motherhood over the years: [podcast_block]

Happy Tears

“I am so in love with baby Maxwell,” the Dukes of Hazzard actress tweeted in May 2012, just days after giving birth. “I want to cry every time I look at her. Motherhood is by far the best thing I’ve ever experienced.”

Back-to-Back Babies

Simpson learned she was pregnant with Ace just seven months after Maxwell was born in May 2012. That year, she told Jay Leno of her second pregnancy: “Apparently it was part of God’s plan for my life.”

Body Positivity

At one point in her life, the star considered having a breast reduction. “But after having kids, I look at myself and I’m like, ‘’You know what? My boobs are actually really big, but I like how big they are,’’” she told Women’s Health in August 2016. “They’re an asset.”

Leading by Example

“Raising Maxwell made me realize that I don’t want her to see me beat myself up for things like food choices or numbers on a scale,” Simpson wrote in a blog post for Parents website in October 2013. “I don’t want her to learn anything like that from me. Those things don’t determine who were are and instead make us feel terrible about ourselves. I want to teach her to value herself, listen to herself and tune out the world.”

Patriotic Parent

The fashion designer doesn’t do lullabies — she finds the lyrics creepy. “Like, ‘When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all?’ That’s scary! You’re, like, dropping your baby!” she told Entertainment Tonight in May 2018. “So, I just say, sing the national anthem.”

Looking Ahead

Simpson relied on Maxwell and Ace while she awaited daughter Birdie’s arrival. “The only thing that gets me through this pregnancy is knowing I will get another one of these cuties,” she captioned a photo of her kids via Instagram in February 2019.

Road to Recovery

"Lots of puke, scary high fevers, coughing and a concussion to top it all off,” the Newlyweds alum captioned a sweet shot cuddling on the couch with her eldest in November 2019. “Maxi and Ace are resilient troopers. Now we need some sleep. Eric and I are so relieved they are happy and healthy now.”

Looking Ahead

Good Cop, Bad Cop

“Eric is more the disciplinarian,” Simpson told Us Weekly in May 2018. “If my daughter asks for a dog, she gets one, and then Eric finds a way to make the dog not end up in the house.”

Wake Up Call

In January 2020, Simpson admitted that she started drinking at 7 a.m. on Halloween in 2017 and was too drunk to take Maxwell and Ace trick-or-treating. She explained to Hoda Kotb at the time: “I honestly couldn't even tell you who got them ready. I was just dazed and confused, and I just wanted to go to sleep. ... I didn't show up for my family. I took the picture and I made the world think that I showed up." She decided to quit drinking the next day and sought therapy.

Body Positive

In her February 2020 Open Book memoir, Simpson described the “wake-up call” she experienced when her eldest daughter heard bread makes people “fat," writing, “She already has this world to grow up in, and I want her to feel safe enough to love herself and the body that God gave her." Because of that, she put “extra butter” on Maxwell’s bread.

Open Book

"It’s a conversation I’ve already had with them ... because I knew that kids at school would talk about it," Simpson told Buzzfeed News' AM to DM of her addiction in February 2020. "I knew that some headlines would be correct, some would not be correct, and it’s out of my hands. That’s why it’s so amazing to have my own written words because it’s my story, it’s my truth and nobody else can tell me how my heart feels. ... So when I explained it to my kids they really understood that Mommy is just living her best life!”

Creative Kid

“[Maxwell is] very into sketching, so she thinks if she makes a sketch I can just take it into the office and she’ll get it the next day,” the Open Book author said during a February 2020 panel. “It’s actually a really beautiful and adorable thing. Right now she’s really into her stuffed animals and dressing her stuffed animals so we have to have a wedding coming up for her … puppies. We are having a fake puppy wedding with all gowns that she designed. It’s really pretty cute!”

Leading By Example

“I believe in being completely open and honest and I hope they can learn from some of my mistakes – but more importantly, learn that no life is perfect, challenges give us tools and it’s learning from our mistakes that makes us stronger,” the Open Book author told Us exclusively in February 2020 of eventually letting her children read her memoir. “There are some topics in the book I don’t think they are mature enough to digest yet, but in due time I will share everything with them.”

Telling the Truth

The fashion designer went on to tell Us, “Maxwell was sitting with me at one of my signing events and a woman came up to me and told me that her daughters had experienced what I went through as a child and she couldn’t wait to talk to them about my story so they wouldn’t feel alone. Maxwell asked me what she meant and I told her that hurtful things happened to me when I was younger that no child should have to go through. I told her that part of the reason I wrote this book was to help people protect their children as I would always protect her. She nodded and I knew she understood when we were praying the other night before bed and she asked God to please watch over the mean people too and put love in their hearts so all children will be safe. There is so much power in the truth especially when it comes to our children.”

Patriotic

Simpson told Kelly Clarkson in March 2020 why she sang her eldest daughter “The Star-Spangled Banner” before bed, explaining, “She was crying so loud, [but] I have some pipes and a set of lungs. I can be louder than her. … Now, she sings it in the shower at the top of her lungs, and she does such a great job. I take credit for that. That was my lullaby.”

Singing Her Praises

"You have created in me a healing purposeful life to live most fully and love most deeply," Simpson wrote via Instagram in March 2020 for her daughter Birdie's 1st birthday. "With you my soul has been set free to the beauty of pure light. You guide me to shine because your heartbeat connected me to mine. Sweet baby girl, you have illuminated all of our worlds with your bright mystical star-bursting smile. I am forever yours, you are forever mine.”

Touching Tribute

“Today my first born, Maxwell, turned 8,” Simpson captioned a May 2020 Instagram video of herself and the birthday girl singing and chatting. “She has more light in her soul than anyone I’ve ever known and shines far brighter than any star in the galaxies. She is a gift to everyone who knows her and deeply connects to those she has never met and prays for every night. Maxwell inspires me to be unapologetically myself in every way.”

Baseball Boy

"He is beautiful, kind, compassionate, obedient to his own heart, soulful, competitive, a gentle force of nature, observant, even tempered, complimentary, hugs when he sees conflict in the room, nurturing, athletic, intelligent, hopeful, Daddy’s best friend, Mommy’s snuggle monster, home run king, knows everyone’s next move, passionate, hilarious, a collector of baseball cards and crystals, one of a kind and good," Simpson gushed on her son's 7th birthday in June 2020. "He is just SO good. He is a sunburst of light with the magic of a full moon."

Good Eye

"One of the best blessings in life is to help make your daughter’s dreams come true,” Simpson captioned a July 2020 photo of Maxwell resting on the bedding she “begged to design."

Under Wraps

Because of her "bad" eczema flare-ups, Simpson hid some photos of herself and daughter Birdie after the little one's birth. "I wouldn’t even show the pictures of me holding her to my friends," she told Shape in January 2021.

Lots of Laughs

She added, "When I hear my kids cackle, it’s the most healing sound. It’s contagious. My whole family starts giggling together, and it’s like some form of happy laughing therapy. … Family is everything to me. More than anything, I want to teach them morals and values and to keep them safe but not afraid.”

Major Milestone

Simpson’s eldest daughter helped the actress combat her fear of horses — all while wearing her mom's Dukes of Hazzard boots. "She was like, 'Horses know that you're afraid, Mom. And it's not gonna relax until you put your shoulders down and breathe. And Mom, let's just stand at the mountain and scream over the mountain,’” she told Hoda Kotb of the emotional moment in April 2021. “And then Maxwell handed me the reins and gave me the lead. I took the reins and, of course, the horse emptied out, like, four days' worth of pee."

Maxwell's Mom

Simpson called her eldest daughter her “best friend” while celebrating the little one’s 9th birthday in May 2021. "The energy in a room shifts when she enters. Yes, she is the most beautiful I ever did see, but it is the effortless way she holds her power that is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Her inquisitive mind strengthens mine. Her heart holds space everyone and everything," she wrote via Instagram. "She loves you enough to be the person you have always wanted to be. I am constantly in awe of her resilience and grace, it is amazing indeed. I love her beyond measure."

Making Friends

“One of Maxwell’s best friends is North [West]. She is amazing. She is a great kid, and she will be a part of a change in this world," Simpson told Us in April 2022, noting that it is "fun" for her kids to live so close to their friends. “That [proximity] makes it easy."
