Jessica Simpson, the 31-year-old American singer, is expecting her first child with former Nfl star Eric Johnson, according to In Touch Weekly. Simpson first fuelled rumours after snubbing a glass of champagne at Eric's 32nd birthday bash earlier this month, but the magazine have now confirmed the pregnancy.
A source close to the couple told In Touch that Simpson is set to become a mother next spring, saying, "She's already having kooky cravings!" The friend revealed Simpson has started eating nacho chips dipped in chocolate, adding, "They satisfy her urge for salty and sweet". The pair are reportedly set to marry in November but will not adjust the wedding date to fit in with the pregnancy. The source added, "She might have to take out her dress a bit". The reality star, best known for her long running show 'Newlyweds', recently holidayed in Cabo, Mexico, with fiance Eric. She was photographed wearing a baggy top, which the magazine claim was to "disguise a thickening waistline".
Johnson, who is now a life coach, proposed to Simpson last November, just six months into their relationship. Simpson was previously married to the American singer Nick Lachey but the couple divorced in 2006.
