‘They helped me find a house (in Nashville), we all moved in, they picked out their rooms, that kind of thing, but they’re in school, so I have two weeks (in Nashville), two weeks at home.’
Along with Birdie, Simpson and Johnson are the proud parents of daughter Maxwell, 12, and son Ace, 11.
Simpson said her plan was to make sure her three children were settled and “secure enough in school and in life” before returning to music or acting, her other passions.

During an interview late last year, The Dukes Of Hazzard star revealed that he was planning to release his next album in early 2024, which would be followed by a tour in support of his new music.
That plan for an early year release has now passed, so fans will have to wait and see exactly when she’s ready to make her grand return to music.
The Abilene, Texas native, who began performing in church choirs as a child, landed a record deal when she was 17, leading to her debut, Sweet Kisses (1999), which peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, en route to selling more than two million copies.
For her second release, Irresistible (2001), she attempted to portray a more mature image, which led to her releasing five more albums until her second collection of Christmas-themed songs, Happy Christmas (2010).
In total, Jessica Simpson has sold more than 20 million albums during her career.
Simpson and Johnson got together in May 2010 when a mutual friend invited Johnson to a party at his house, to which the singer, actress and businesswoman revealed how they “connected on every level,” according to People.

They would end up confirming their new romance a couple of months later, in July 2010, when they were photographed kissing in Capri, Italy.
At the time, Johnson was still legally married to his then-estranged wife Keri Johnson, although they had been living apart for about nine months and in the midst of divorce proceedings.
After publicly confessing his ‘love’ for Johnson, he and his ex-wife, stylist Keri Johnson, finalized their divorce.
Simpson and Johnson, who married in July 2014, celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary about six weeks earlier.
