Jessica Simpson Finally Revealed She's Pregnant Because The 'Stomach Spoke For Itself'
CelebritiesDirt BagIt was rumored that Jessica Simpson wasn’t discussing her growing belly because in addition to the contents of her uterus being none of our business, she was looking to make some millions with a magazine cover reveal. Instead, she (adorably) announced the news on Twitter, but now she’s making up for it with two interviews in which she shares the details on how she found out, and why she doesn’t want to be a “hormonal Bridezilla.” Jess tells Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood that she took a pregnancy test because she was,”Feeling a little off.” She continues, “[I first told] Eric, of course. He was in the house. He didn’t know that I was taking a pregnancy test, so I kind of shocked him. I came in shaking like, ‘Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! This is happening!’ We both cried. We were in shock and kind of just sat there and stared at each other.” They’re postponing their wedding plans because Jessica doesn’t want to be “super stressed out and end up being a bridezilla.” She adds that she ignored tabloid editors’ demands for a pregnancy confirmation for many weeks because she was enjoying keeping the news a secret among her friends and family. However, eventually the “stomach spoke for itself.” [ET, AH]
