Jessica Simpson Facts
1. Papa Does Preach
Jessica Ann Simpson was born on July 10, 1980, to homemaker Tina Simpson and her husband Joe Simpson, who worked as a Baptist minister.
There must have been something in the water in the Simpson house: Jessica’s younger sister Ashlee Simpson also followed her big sister’s footsteps and won fame as a singer. But it wasn’t always paradise…
2. The Marrying Type
As you’ll see as this list goes on, Jessica Simpson has an utterly deranged effect on straight men. When she met her famous husband-to-be Nick Lachey at a Christmas party, the 98 Degrees crooner was smitten at first sight. When he left the party, he reportedly went straight home to his mother and announced he’d met the girl he was going to marry.
3. Double Platinum Blonde
Simpson’s career and personal life took off when she worked with Sony boss Tommy Mottola. Her debut mainstream album Sweet Kisses went double platinum in 1999, and she went on a world tour with 98 Degrees, opening for her now-boyfriend Lachey’s band. Of course, Simpson’s rising fame also gave way to great controversy.
