Jessica Simpson axed wedding for babies
Jessica Simpson has tried to marry her fiance Eric Johnson twice, but her unexpected pregnancies forced the couple to call off the wedding dates.
Simpson became engaged to the retired football star in 2010 and has been planning her wedding ever since, but she had to delay the ceremony after conceiving her daughter Maxwell in 2011 and again after falling pregnant last year (12).
The mother-to-be tells talk show host Jay Leno, "We've had two
different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up. We're doing
(marriage) very backwards, I know... I'll just keep my legs
crossed, I guess, this time."
When asked if she was planning for a second baby, Simpson adds,
"Nope! Apparently it was a part of God's plan for my life. I was
extremely shocked... because I was going through a lot of hormonal
changes, trying to get back to the old, vibrant Jessica. You know,
it was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened, all over
again!"
Simpson, a spokesperson for diet firm WeightWatchers, is determined
to have a healthy second pregnancy because she piled on the pounds
by eating "everything in sight" while expecting her first
child.
She explains, "I was really happy to be pregnant (with Maxwell) and
I didn't ever step on the scale. I didn't realise you could gain
that much weight that quickly. (I gained) a lot more than doctors
would recommend. I didn't really make any healthy good
decisions."
