Now that Jessica Simpson is 40, she is starting a new chapter in her life, but didn’t feel completely comfortable about turning the big 4-0 this summer. In fact, the singer and fashion designer admitted that she “freaked out” right before her milestone birthday. Here’s what she has to say.
During an interview with SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, Jessica said, “I freaked out two months before I turned 40, not knowing that that age would even mean anything to me, but then it’s, like, oh but, 41, 42. I’ve never calculated my age until now. I am accepting it slowly.”

Jessica then said that slowly but surely she learned to accept the fact that she is indeed getting older, just like the rest of us. She also spent a lot of time reminiscing about past memories right before her birthday.
“I hold on to so many memories,” she said. “I am so tragically romantic like that about my own self … Thank God I put a memoir out at 40 because it would have been 800 pages if I waited any longer.”
Jessica also celebrated her birthday by fitting into a pair of jeans that she used to wear in her 20’s. The singer posted a photo on her Instagram to mark the occasion. “I have kept these throwback True Religion jeans in my closet for 14 yrs (I’m not exaggerating!),” she captioned the mirror selfie.
During her podcast interview, Jessica admitted that she was surprised herself that she managed to fit in her sacred jeans. She said, “That was like a really random thing. Because I haven’t put jeans on through the whole time, I’ve been in sweats. I am, like, embracing the quarantine life.”
