A 100-pound weight loss has changed Jessica Simpson’s life for the better, according to a new report by Page Six.
A source told Page Six that the massive weight loss has “unleashed a whole new side of her personality.”
“She suddenly felt 21 again — except when she was 21 for real, she was a married TV star who had to behave,” the source told Page Six, referring to Simpson’s ex-husband Nick Lachey. The source told Page Six that Simpson now feels “irresistible,” which contributed to her decision to end her marriage to her second husband Eric Johnson.
Jessica Simpson Says She Lost Weight Through ‘Willpower’
Page Six noted that Simpson has struggled with her weight throughout the years. “In the past she always had to kill herself in the gym and via starvation diets to get slim and stay that way,” the source told Page Six.
Simpson said in her memoir that she “has gained and lost 100 pounds three different times in her life,” Page Six reported.
Simpson told Bustle that she has lost weight the natural way. “Oh Lord. I mean, it is not,” she told the publication referring to Ozempic. “It’s willpower. I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that’s when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can’t do it.”

A source told People, of Simpson and Johnson’s split, “The kids will always come first. They are co-parenting. She’s grateful for her kids.”
“Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family,” she told People.
“Their marital issues have felt suffocating for a while,” a source added to People. “She needs to move on for her own well-being.”
“Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson also told People on January 13.
Simpson and Johnson share three kids together. Their kids are ages 12, 5, and 11, according to People, which noted that they married in 2014.
“They have already figured out a new schedule for the kids,” the source told People, adding that both are “great parents.”
