Jessica Simpson has revealed she is open to finding romance through social media, although potential admirers will need to meet one important requirement before sending a message. The singer, actress and entrepreneur spoke about her dating life during a brief exchange with photographers, where she was asked whether she would consider someone making the first move through direct messages on social media.
Simpson Welcomes DMs, Jokes About Verification
Rather than dismissing the idea, the 45-year-old star responded positively. When asked if her messages were open, Simpson replied that they were, before joking that being verified on the platform would certainly help. Her comments come more than a year after she and former NFL player Eric Johnson announced their separation.
Separation and Co-Parenting Focus
The couple had been married for a decade before confirming in January 2025 that they were ending their relationship. Despite the split, sources previously told People that Simpson and Johnson have remained focused on raising their three children together. They share daughters Maxwell Drew and Birdie Mae, along with son Ace Knute. According to reports published earlier this year, the former couple have prioritised maintaining stability for their family. Sources indicated that they have worked to keep their relationship amicable while navigating the next chapter of their lives.
New Romance Rumors
In April, a source told People that Simpson had started dating musician Thomas Eisenhood, who was previously a member of the band Stoop Kids. The insider said the star was happy and looking forward to the future. Another report claimed that Simpson and Johnson were still living under the same roof while preparing to sell their home. Sources said their shared focus remained on creating a positive environment for their children and ensuring the transition was as smooth as possible.
Embracing Modern Dating with Humor
Simpson has spoken openly in recent years about personal growth and rebuilding different aspects of her life. The star has also reflected on her sobriety journey and her return to performing after spending years away from the stage. Her latest comments suggest she is embracing modern dating with a sense of humour. While many celebrities choose to keep their private lives tightly guarded, Simpson appeared relaxed about the possibility of meeting someone online. For anyone hoping to catch the singer's attention, however, she made one thing clear: a verified account may be the best way to stand out in her inbox.
