Jessica Simpson has recently thrilled her fans by hinting at a return to music. However, over the past few months, the “With You” artist’s noticeably slimmer figure and swiftly altering appearance have raised some concerns. After announcing her divorce, a source revealed that these changes are all part of a larger strategy for the “I Wanna Love You Forever” singer, 44, to transform her image.
As reported by Ok!, one insider dished: “Jessica has some kind of master plan around changing her appearance so aggressively, but she’s not sharing that plan with anybody and is marching to the beat of her own drum with the procedures and adjustments she’s making to her look.”

The tipster went on, noting that the Dukes of Hazzard alum and style icon “hates aging” and “has the resources and taste to reverse that process, even if it’s through her own fun-house mirror.” The mom of three (who shares kids Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5, with her ex-husband Eric Johnson) also might delight fans in recent months with more acting roles. The source explained that Simpson “sees a third act for herself in showbiz.”
This also reportedly involves “more music, more acting and a reality show.” The insider also revealed: “Everything’s on the table. She does not want this next chapter of her career to strictly be defined by her business/apparel success.” They continued: “Jessica wants to be a star again, and she needs to look the part.”
Simpson, who fans have deemed "ageless" and "timelessly stunning" as seen from her Instagram posts, thinks that her plan is "working," the tipster continued. "It may come across as a little desperate to some, but Jessica has dragged herself through h--- to get to the point where nobody can tell her what to do, and she’s really charting her own course at the moment. Her surgical ‘new look’ is a key part of that, and she thinks it’s working."
This week, Simpson notably revealed her separation from husband Johnson, 45, after a decade of marriage. The "Irresistible" singer and former NFL player tied the knot in July 2014 after dating for four years. In an exclusive statement made to People this week, Simpson said: "Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage."

She went on: "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."
In recent months, speculation about a possible split between Simpson and Johnson circulated, especially after the "With You" artist was frequently spotted without her wedding ring and attended various events solo, without Johnson by her side. In November 2024, Johnson was also seen without his wedding ring.
Coincidentally, around that period, Simpson hinted at her return to music with a mysterious Instagram post showcasing pictures of her in a recording studio. She wrote at the time: "Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic."
Simpson continued: "This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve." (We're keeping our eyes peeled for more info!)
