Jessica Simpson gets candid about her weight struggles and her husband’s enduring support.
Jessica,34, may now be in the best shape of her life but that wasn’t always the case for the bubbly blonde. The mum of two has made no secret about her struggles with her weight – especially her post baby-body, now she gets more candid than ever about it in an interview with InStyle.
“I’d been scrutinized about my weight before I got pregnant, so I refused to let anyone steal the joy of my babies,” she says of enduring criticism after having her two children.
“My husband [Eric Johnson] and I were looking at old pictures recently, and I asked him, ‘Babe, why didn’t you tell me to put the brownie down?’ He said, ‘You looked great.’ He’s always loved every curve on my body. And we’ve always had a healthy sex life.”
In the refreshing interview Jessica revealed that like most brides, she wanted to look perfect on the day.
“I worked really hard because I wanted to appreciate being in a wedding gown again. I wanted to enjoy it like I did the first time. But I didn’t have a weight goal; I just wanted to look healthy.”
We think the healthy mum looked fabulous! Slowing down since the wedding, these days she takes care of herself by working out five days a week and enjoying time with her young family.
It doesn’t look like she’ll be adding to the brood “I don’t think so. Having two kids back-to-back was hard on my body,” she says. “But if I do have more, I wouldn’t want them to read this and think they weren’t wanted!”
