Jessica Simpson has set the rumor mill buzzing with a cryptic comment at LAX on Tuesday, June 23. When approached by TMZ about the potential for guys to slide into her DMs, Simpson was candid and inviting. "Is that a bad way for them to do it?" a photographer asked, to which she replied, "No." And when pressed about whether her DMs were open, the star didn't hold back: "Sure," she responded with a twinkle in her eye, adding one cheeky condition – "I mean, if you’re verified, maybe."
“Sure,” she said, before adding one requirement: “I mean, if you’re verified, maybe.”
It's hard to ignore the playful vibe in her response, which has fans speculating that she could be back on the market. This comes just months after news broke of her dating Nashville musician Thomas Eisenhood.
Back in April, whispers echoed that Simpson had moved on from her split with ex-husband Eric Johnson, stepping into a new chapter with Eisenhood. Their meet-cute happened through mutual friends within the music scene, and the pair was seen enjoying time together in Nashville – Simpson's getaway from the SoCal hustle.
An insider at the time dished that Simpson was in a "great place," feeling "happy" and optimistic about what's next. However, her recent remarks seem to hint at a breakup, leaving fans curious about her current relationship status.
Since parting ways with Eric Johnson, Jessica has been refreshingly open about her relationship goals. Post-divorce, she hasn't shied away from the dating scene. During a January 2025 chat on TODAY, she declared, “I’d totally jump on that. Yes, I’m single… I’m ready.”
She's also laid out what she's looking for: someone comfortable in their own skin, confident without the ego, and a stellar kisser. "I just like for somebody to be individual, who they are, and exude confidence without the ego," she shared. "It’s hard to find, but I feel like it’s out there." And of course, the cherry on top? That person has to be “a very good kisser.”
Amid her personal revelations, Simpson is embracing a comeback in the music world. She’s gearing up for a tour that kicks off in June, eventually heading to Mexico City for a special performance on October 1st. Her recent announcement of a "very special project" in the works has fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
