Jessica Simpson Confirms Pregnancy After $500,000 Pay Out

Did fashion mogul Jessica Simpson confirm her pregnancy after receiving $500,000 for the deal?!

Earlier this year it was reported that Jessica Simpson’s fashion label was nearing the $1 billion mark not to mention she’s engaged to marry NFL player, Eric Johnson.

It seems a bit odd that Jessica who either put on a few pounds or is doing a poor job at hiding a baby bump would hold out for money.

Granted celebrities have done stranger things. So let’s go with this one for a minute. So for weeks, the day Jessica Simpson would announce her pregnancy was highly anticipated. New York Post revealed that the obvious news wasn’t confirmed because Jessica was waiting for a $500,000 payout.

“We’re told the Simpsons were asking up to $500,000 to close the deal.”

RadarOnline thought the deal wasn’t possible when a PR exec stated,

“The issue with Jessica Simpson maybe is that she simply hasn’t been ‘hot’ lately in terms of relevant, big celebrity occurrences”

“No big movie, hit album or A-list happening, and even though she’s an A-list celebrity…in this economy, media needs to know for $500,000 that something is a sure bet — and Simpson simply may not be seen as that today.”

Well someone forgot to tell that to OK Magazine who reportedly shelled out the $500k with their leading title, “Yes, I’m having a baby!”

Life & Style decided to skip the entire confirmation process and the expense when they stated that Jess is having a baby girl with a wedding date set for November 11th!

What do you think – take a look at some pictures within the last week. Is Jessica Simpson pregnant?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
