Jessica Simpson steps out in a tie-dye caftan ahead of the birth of Ace Johnson

I’m kind of proud of Jessica Simpson. She’s shown the ability to grow as a person (and that’s not a joke about her weight, I really mean it). Do you remember how chaotic her first pregnancy was? Do you remember how many crazy/stupid/TMI interviews she gave during her first pregnancy? God, that was just last year!!!!! Her second pregnancy has been relatively quiet. She hasn’t been getting pap’d constantly, she hasn’t been giving endless interviews, and she hasn’t gained as much weight. So let’s celebrate!

These are some new pics of Jessica and Eric Johnson yesterday in Santa Monica. As you can see, Jessica is a lovely tie-dyed maternity muumuu that is neither flattering nor cute, but I give her some points for trying. I’m assuming she’s in the “screw it, just give me a muumuu” stage of her pregnancy, which is to say she’s due any day now. I actually had money on Jessica giving birth BEFORE Kim Kardashian, so I’m assuming Jess is probably due next week or the week after. She’s having a boy this time. And sources – the same sources who correctly claimed that Jessica would name her daughter ‘Maxi’ – claim that Jessica and Eric have already settled on a name for their son: ACE JOHNSON.

Those same sources also claim that Jessica – for real this time – wants to definitely get married after she gives birth. They say she’ll wait a few months and settle in with little Ace Johnson and then she and Eric will get hitched at long last. Maybe. Unless he knocks her up again.

    She likes being big, no counting calories..eating what she wants..heaven.

  2. Saema says:

    Is it just me, or does it seem like she’s been pregnant forever???? Well, she’s literally been in the pregnant state for 2 years!

    • Joblow says:

      Yeah i agree but to me more like 4 years. Maybe thats why its been quiter because people think she is till pregnant

  3. Sisi says:

    she looks nice, except for the hair. The hair looks a little britney-esque from the back…

    It’s a good color on her, she doesn’t wear blue often

  4. Sannie says:

    I love her and wish them the best. Little Maxi is a very cute baby. I’m not really a fan of the name ‘Ace’, but hey, that baby should be really pleased with a normal name like that in Hollywood.. 🙂

    • Bubbles says:

      I don’t like the name either, but it’s better than North, Blue Ivy, Apple or Audioscience.

      Talking about baby names, could you lovely ladies help out a bit? A friend of mine is having twins, and they really can’t decide on the names, so any help is wanted 🙂
      They have 2 girls named Abigail and Alexandra ( Abby and Lexie) and now hey are having boys. She wants to nme them Matthew and Thomas, he wants Damien and Declan. Sooo, which do you prefer?
      They have an Irish last name.

      • Sisi says:

        eh…. I like Thomas and Declan, is that okay too?

      • JenD says:

        Matthew was the name I picked out for my baby, so I’m partial to that name. I like Thomas and Declan, too. (I’m having a girl, so obviously Matthew is a no-go for me).

      • Bubbles says:

        Thanks, girls 🙂 Nobody likes Damien? That’s my favourite.
        @JenD, what are you naming your girl?

      • Poppy says:

        Thomas and Declan is cute, and would go well with an irish surname. My boyfriend has already picked Tom for our hypothetical future son!

      • JenD says:

        @Bubbles: Sarah Catherine. 🙂

      • DeltaJuliet says:

        I have a Matthew and an Andrew, and hubby’s name is Thomas so I guess you know which way I am leaning 😉

      • Sarah says:

        Matthew and Thomas are MUCH better.

      • Mei says:

        Although Damien and Declan are nice names, it can be a pain in the ass to have the same initials and surname, trust me. I’d vote for Matthew and Damien.

      • Lucybelle says:

        I LOVE Biblical names so my vote is Matthew and Thomas. I like Declan too, but Damien just reminds me of that creepy kid from The Omen!

      • JL says:

        How about Declan and Mirin (or Mirren)..

        Mirin was an Irish saint.

        We have a GS named Mirin.

      • littlestar says:

        I like Damian and Declan! Really nice names!

      • Stephers says:

        I like Declan and Dominic 🙂

    • kct says:

      I was wondering if I was the only one old enough to remember that the name Damien is associated with a devil child.

      • Sticks says:

        I love Matthew, Thomas or Damien. Declan doesn’t work for me at all. A bit soap opera sounding…

      • truetalk says:

        The first thing i think of when i hear Damien is “The Omen” too.

      • Isa says:

        Damien reminds me of the omen too.

      • Spooks says:

        I think of Damien O’Donovan from “The Wind That Shakes The Barley” which is one of my all time favourite movies, so I love the name.
        Damien and Thomas are perfect.
        Thomas can be Tom, but, can Damien be turned into a nickname?

  5. Dawn says:

    I think Jess looks fine here. She looks relaxed and nearly 8 months pregnent. I hate the name Ace because I’ve known a few different guys who went by Ace and each were a-holes.

    • hotpockets says:

      I like matt and Thomas. I’m not a fan of the name Damien. Every child I’ve known whose had that name is out of control.

      • Damien says:

        I absolutely associate the name Damien with the spawn of Satan. Please tell your friend NOT to name her son Damien! I like all three of the other names, but think Thomas and Matthew or Thomas and Declan sound best together. Matthew and Declan just don’t go together, for some reason.

    • hunter says:

      Yes and look at her feet – not swollen, they look normal. I think she looks good and is as comfy as she can be.

    • Isa says:

      I had a dog named Ace and he was awesome. Great dog name.

  6. DanaG says:

    I feel like Jessica has been pregnant forevery so she must feel even worse. She has been way better this time she has grown up a lot from having Maxi. Although Ace is not the best name sounds like a tennis player or something. LOL What a long way she has come from the virgin bride to having 2 kids before getting married. I think she knows this time she can get pregnant if your breastfeeding of course she did find out the hard way!

  7. matia says:

    She looks so uncomfortable. I hope baby Ace comes quickly

  8. LadyJane says:

    Looks like a low bump, which may mean the baby has ‘dropped’ which means, baby in a couple of weeks at most. When the baby drops, it means their head has moved down into the pelvis, getting into position for birth. It is hard to walk and the bump really looks low. Good luck Jess. I love my babies, but seeing her like this makes me SO GLAD I am done with pregnancy.

    • GiGi says:

      Usually only your first baby drops weeks early. Most subsequent babies won’t “drop” until you’re actually in labor. But she does look like that baby is ready to come out!

      • LadyJane says:

        Hmmm. Could depend on the woman. I had 4 and all dropped early. SO uncomfortable.

      • GiGi says:

        I feel for you! My first dropped 3 weeks early & it was soooo painful. I was happy I could breathe again, but my pubic bone felt like it was breaking every time I took a step. My second never dropped and was born in an hour & a half, lol!

    • JenD says:

      My baby has dropped, and it is MIGHTY uncomfortable. I feel for her. And she looks really cute and comfortable in this picture.

    • Lucy says:

      This is all new information to me, I’m 4 1/2 months pregnant and didn’t know about babies dropping??? What is this? Off to google!

      • Mean Hannah says:

        Didn’t happen for me. My son was born a week late, but there was no dropping, no contractions, none of the signs of impending birth.

  9. I can see her extension bonds..

  10. judyjudy says:

    I had forgotten she was pregnant. Probably because of the Kimye circus.
    I like Jessica, she seems like a sweet girl. I wish her and her little family the best.

    • Rachel says:

      I feel the same. When I saw the header I was like “Oh yeah, she’s pregnant too… OMG She’s STILL pregnant?!” It feels like she’s been pregnant forever.

      Good for her though for flying under the radar this time around.

  11. Nicolette says:

    She looks easy, breezy and comfortable to me. She’s big and highly pregnant and dressing for it, not trying to squeeze herself into too tight clothes for her own vanity. Love her!

  12. Lulu says:

    maybe she hasn’t laid low, maybe there were more ‘interesting’ bumps out this this time around .i.e The Duchess, Kardashian etc

  13. Abby says:

    She looks super cute. I’m pregnant and Jessica Simpson maternity wear is my favorite. I wonder if she sells this dress? I’m not that far along yet but I’d totally wear it…

    • Stacy Dresden says:

      Looks like Matthew Williamson or some other expensive designer to me. It’s probably not JS collection.

  14. CeltLady says:

    She looks like a normal pregnant woman. Not a woman stuffed into a sausage casing while wearing stilettos.

    Kudos to Jessica.

  15. Melissa says:

    She looks really pretty here. Her fiance looks good too. She does look totally over it though, hope she has the baby soon!

  16. G says:

    I don’t care she looks ADORABLE!

  17. Sarah says:

    Screw it and give me a mummu… I’m right there with ya Jess!

  18. BRE says:

    The name Ace is totally a quarterback name, I see where they’re going there.

  19. BreeinSEA says:

    She’s dropped!!! Love the color

  20. Claudia says:

    She looks great, but on a bitchy note… Is her man’s beard grey? pictures too small on my phone. What’s their age difference? Don’t women marry men their own age anymore?

    • Katie says:

      She’s 32, he’s 33. So there is only a year age difference.

      Just because he has grey in his beard doesn’t make him old. My brother-in-law has been grey all over since his 20s. It’s not really something he’s in control of.

  21. Dommy Dearest says:

    She’s much more low key this pregnancy. Though I suppose it’s hard competing against the Antichrist and it’s grandmother Lucifier aka PMK.

  22. eliza says:

    The caftan just doesn’t give her any shape. If she belted above her belly, she’s look cute but hey, at 8 months, who cares? And note her feet are not at all swollen!

  23. LahdidahBaby says:

    Whoa, look how the bambino has dropped, she’s gonna deliver soon. I think she looks pretty, the colors are great on her, and it’s SUCH a relief to see a pregnant woman in loose, flowing clothes at this late stage, after the KimK stuffed-sausage shots we had to turn away from.

    • Anon says:

      Well Maxweel was just shy of 10 lbs looks like this will be another large baby. Maybe even over 10. Jessica carries large babies a fiancé is 6’4 235. She so far from last year had the largest baby and could very well again this time too. She has a beautiful healthy baby girl and baby boy should be the same. Another c section I’m sure
