Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy was unplanned & she’ll marry after the birth

fp_8068952_simpsonjessica_newyork_aar_10_16

Now that we know Jessica Simpson is super-for-sure-preggo, people are wondering what’s up with her wedding. My theory: Jessica figured she wasn’t going to “beat” Nick Lachey to the wedding, so she “beat” him to babies, and she figured that she could have a completely separate (later) drama with the wedding, if she felt like it. Not that I’m saying that she got pregnant only to “beat” her ex-husband. I’m not saying that at all. I think she got pregnant because she couldn‘t figure out if her birth control pill would still work if she farted on it. And because she’s in love, of course. But mostly because of the farting thing (I tease because I love, ladies). Anyway, “sources” (Papa Joe) tell People Mag that Jessica is definitely planning a wedding – but it’s definitely going to be later than she originally expected:

It’s been a whirlwind year for Jessica Simpson, who became engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson last November and recently confirmed that she’s expecting their first child.

“They’re really excited,” a source tells PEOPLE of the pregnancy. “It wasn’t something they planned per se, but it’s also not something they were trying to avoid.”

Still, it did cause the couple to put the brakes on planning their wedding, which will now probably happen after the baby is born.

“They’re both still really committed to getting married, and were both really into making decisions about what kind of wedding they wanted,” continues the source, who adds that the nuptials were originally set for this month.

“It’s just going to be at a later date now [because] they really want to enjoy this time in their lives.”

And despite tabloid reports that the couple is expecting a girl, another source confirms to PEOPLE that they don’t know the sex of their baby.

But whether they have to stock up on blue or pink onesies, “they’re both very family-oriented and having a baby is something they both wanted,” the first source says. “It’s wonderful!”

I’ve wondered for a while if somewhere in that box of hair that Jess calls a brain, she doesn’t wonder if it’s such a good idea to lock down Eric Johnson legally. Like, I feel like I can see slowly processing what a K-Fed he is. But maybe that’s my imagination. Maybe she’s totally in lurve. We’ll see.

By the way, OK! Magazine had an interesting (fictional) story about Jessica thinking she was pregnant with twins. If only there was *SOME* way for Jessica to find out if she was having a multiple birth (“I’m farting twice as much, does that mean there are two babies?” Jess asks her gyno).

Jessica Simpson was thrilled to have a baby – until she feared she might have two! After all Jessica Simpson’s “hot mess” years — through her divorce from Nick Lachey, and humiliation at the hands of John (“she’s sexual napalm”) Mayer and Tony Romo (who reportedly dumped her in an IHOP parking lot) — it’s been heartening to see the pregnancy glow in the singer’s eyes as she and fiancé Eric Johnson prepare for parenthood.

The star had fun with her pregnancy on Halloween, Tweeting, “It’s true — I’m going to be a mummy!” along with a photo of herself in an Egyptian mummy costume, holding her bump. But behind the punny facade, insiders say that as Jess’ body grows exponentially, she’s ridden with angst.

The biggest stressor? For a time Jessica, 31, who reportedly used IVF, was concerned that she might be carrying twins — at least.

“That was scary for her,” says the source. “Jessica is a perfectionist and she was panicking that she wouldn’t be able to cram in everything she needs to do in time for the birth. “For instance, she put so much effort into making the nursery absolutely perfect — she even had it repainted three times! So when the doctor said she might be having twins, she had to rethink everything.”

IS JESS UP TO THE JOB?

Even the thought of having one baby is starting to weigh on Jessica.

“She’s totally freaking out” an insider reveals to OK!. “Now that she’s so close to the finish line, fear is setting in. She’s been so excited to be a mom — it’s been like a fairy tale, but it’s becoming real and she worries she’s not ready.”

Indeed, Jess has a laundry list of anxieties. “She’s starting to question whether or not she’ll be a good mom,” the source explains, “or if she’s going to have postpartum depression, if she’ll get her body back. She’s just in panic mode about every little detail.”

Fortunately, when Jessica seems ready to fly off the rails, her fiancé reins her in. “Thank God for Eric,” the insider tells OK!. “The guy is a rock. He can always talk Jessica off the ledge by making a cute little joke or just by telling her what an amazing mother she’ll be. And he has really proven to Jessica that he will be a great dad!”

Ah, it looks like Farty did find out that she’s not having twins. Good. But seriously, I don’t buy that she’s panicking or worried. In most photos, she looks totally blissed out and happy, and she really doesn’t seem like the kind of person who gets really stressed out over anything.

Oh, and IVF? She’s what, 31? I doubt she had IVF. She probably just farted on her birth control and it was the closest thing to divine conception ever.

    IVF isn’t based on age. There are women in their 20s who use IVF. She could have a medical problem that interferes with getting pregnant naturally.

  2. brin says:

    LOL…”I’m farting twice as much, does that mean there are two babies?”

  3. Jayna says:

    The bloom is off the rose for her. She has said she has never once tried on a wedding dress. Mark my words, there will be no marriage. She had plenty of time to get married after her engagement. A pretty small island wedding.

  4. Bite me says:

    Eric is going to be a great mum

  5. gee says:

    I love his Larry Bird costume! LOL.

    I think she probably just f-ed up her birth control.

  6. Justalark says:

    I’m soooo confused!!! (As Jessica famously asked, “Is ‘Chicken of the Sea’ chicken or tuna?”)

    The allegedly well-informed source said: “It wasn’t something they planned per se…”

    Yet OK! Magazine claims Jessica had IVF and is now worried about multiple babies.

    Poor dummy mummy–she needs someone to explain to her how babies are made!

  7. bigchili says:

    I don’t believe the IVF either. I know it’s not based on age but at 31, a couple should try for a year before any fertility treatments are done and I doubt she’s been trying to pregnant for a year. I really do think she wanted to get married before she got pregnant but know that she is preggo she wants to wait.

  8. Samigirl says:

    @Cindy beat me to it. My good friend JUST turned 25, and she’s been on IVF for a couple of years now. Some people just have problems getting pregnant.

  9. the original bellaluna says:

    So, it was an accident, a happy accident, but she supposedly used IVF? These rag-mags really need to get it together.

    She looks happy (and still dingy) and I hope she is. I’m also thanking the gods that she’s not blabbing about every single little detail. *side-eyes Pregnancey and Mariah*

  10. Calli P says:

    The doctor said she “might be having twins”? What a bs statement. I knew I had two buns in the oven at nine weeks and it was confirmed at the 10-12 week appointment.

    You see, there’s this really handy thing called ultrasound, & it’s usually pretty easy to see them both early on. One doesn’t have much room to hide behind the other ( assuming they implanted that way) when they are still little potato buds with limb buds!

  11. retyah says:

    Oh wow that costume her man is wearing is something else.

  12. fabgrrl says:

    You know, Jess, you can get married without a big, public, expensive wedding. Get over to City Hall, it takes like 20 minutes. Then have the big “wedding” bash after the baby is born, if you still want to be a pretty, pretty princess.

  13. Jackie says:

    the less make up she wears, the prettier she looks. she is never going to marry that dude, he is just a baby daddy.

  14. Maritza says:

    @Jackie – I totally agree with you!

  15. Jessica says:

    If they really loved each other it would not matter if Jessica was pregnant, they would get married despite her expecting.

    Taylor Hanson and his wife got married when she was 4 months along.

    Jessica and Eric will not be getting married.

  16. Tapioca says:

    “It wasn’t something they planned per se, but it’s also not something they were trying to avoid.”

    Yup, dumb as a box of rocks. It always makes me smile when people say their pregnancy was unexpected – almost as if when you’re not using contraception, you’re trying for a baby!

  17. DorothyZbornak says:

    I don’t understand why every time a celebrity gets pregnant, everyone assumes it was via IVF. I understand when there are multiples, or the woman is older, but damn, some people just get pregnant naturally. Why is that so hard to believe?

  18. irishserra says:

    OMG This is the funniest blog ever. I love it. Laughed so hard this morning I almost spit out my coffee, especially at the “I’m farting twice as much…” comment.

    Hey, when will you write about Jen and Justin? I was in line at the store this a.m. and saw the rag that claimed they had eloped, but decided not to pick it up… much more amusing to read about it here on Celebitchy!

    Thanks for the laughs.

  19. wallycally says:

    why does she need to get married? she tried it once and it sucked. her subsequent relationships sucked. her business is doing fantastic and she got pregnant maybe she realized it’s not the most important thing in the world.

  20. irishserra says:

    @DorothyZbornak: At least we haven’t heard the “she’s preggo with a pillow” accusation. 🙂

  21. Zigggy says:

    I’m not a dumb person but I still don’t understand what “sexual napalm” means- is it good or bad??

  22. Lucky Charm says:

    @ Tapioca, just what I was going to say! A pregnancy is NOT unplanned when you willingly have unprotected sex. And not doing anything to prevent a pregnancy IS planning for one, lol! I wish her the best and a healthy baby, and I also don’t think this couple will ever get married.

    @ irishserra – please no!!!!! I am very happy to be news-free about that couple.

  23. truthful says:

    Good points in this thread…

    it tickles me–in EVERY interview that Nick Lachey’s wife (forgot her name) she goes on and on about sexing extra hard, cause they plan on making some babies..ASAP

    I think she is obsessed now, its crazy, I saw an interview on tv and she was rubbing Nick and talking about sex and babies and getting him up to the room.
    LOL

  24. truthful says:

    ps. Eric’s costume is scary..

  25. mln76 says:

    I doubt she had IVF. I think she would have married him first if she was planning on getting pregnant since they were already engaged. Oh and I think she may wait or not get married because of how things turned out for Ashley who had a shotgun wedding and is now in the midst of a not-so friendly divorce.

  26. irishserra says:

    @Lucky Charm: I can’t fault you. I should clarify that I’m less about the news (they’re not very newsworthy) and more about the comments related to said news, even when it comes to JA. 🙂

  27. Dani says:

    I just don’t see these two making it. I highly doubt they will make it down the aisle, and if they do, it’ll be a short marriage. As someone earlier stated, she has had plenty of time to marry this guy.

    While we’re on the subject of weddings that won’t happen, I’m also going to say that Natalie Portman and her fiance won’t get married either. He doesn’t seem too into her.

  28. ol cranky says:

    tony romo dumped her at an ihop?

    @wallycally – this is a girl who really wanted to be a “Christian” singer, whose father was a youth pastor and who did used to lay some claim to the “good Christian” girl label/support (didn’t she also lend a little support to republican family values candidates before refusing to attend fundraisers too?) so she may feel pressure to marry from that background.

  29. Moneypenny says:

    I really don’t understand how she’s not sure Eric is the One, but she’s willing to have a baby with him? Like the choice of a spouse is even more important than the choice of the father of your child? That logic makes no sense to me. I’m definitely not saying you have to be married to have babies, but I think you should see some kind of long-term potential with the father of your child before you get knocked up. If you think someone is a lazy-ass, why do your want your child having half those genes?

  30. irishserra says:

    @Moneypenny: That’s because you are thinking logically. I think Jessica has probably reached the point where she wants the kind of attention that comes from being a new mommy and having a toy to cart around.

  31. Jessica says:

    Monneypenny: I agree, it seems like Jessica is always saying the new guy she is with is “The One”. Eric has no job and probably will never have a job and from what I understand he has not worked in years.

    Eric is nothing special, he’s not that cute. he’s a bum sponging off of Jessica and she’s too stupid to see it because she is blinded by “Love”.

  32. Emma says:

    Just have the baby already. The amount of these JS pregnancy stories are starting to reach Beyonce-level annoyance.

  33. Anguishedcorn says:

    She sure does look like she is enjoying being pregnant, which is very nice. Personally, I was not one of those women.

  34. wallycally says:

    @ol cranky: i totally see that but at this point between her divorce and her sister’s shotgun wedding + divorce she is so far from that image. she dated john mayer for christ’s sake, i feel like most people have sort of forgotten the image she started out with. maybe i am giving her too much credit but it seems to me that after all that crap maybe she has wised up a little, knows this isn’t necessarily the ideal guy but also knows she’s over 30 and wants kids and is making decisions based on that. who really can know?

  35. sosuzy says:

    She felt her biological clock ticking and wanted a baby.There is no need for her to marry him. She obviously has the financial means to take care of her child. If she does marry him it will not last. His role, is a sperm donor.. that is it…… period.

  36. Cherylk says:

    A Lachey Family member already said that a the final split in her marriage was the abortion she had with Nick’s baby so no IVF!! I would bet.
