Jessica Simpson is newly single and ready to mingle after her split from Eric Johnson. The 45-year-old singer and fashion mogul has wasted no time diving headfirst into the dating pool. But while Simpson is determined to snag a Hollywood heartthrob, her aggressive pursuit is leaving some men sprinting in the opposite direction.
At the MTV Video Music Awards, Simpson was reportedly in full flirt mode, gushing about all the “sexy” men in the room. From actors to industry insiders, no one was safe from her starry-eyed attention. The problem? Friends say Jessica’s over-eager behavior isn’t exactly charming. However, many feel it’s veering into desperate territory. Instead of reeling in potential suitors, her approach is allegedly pushing them away, according to sources from The National Enquirer.
“Jessica’s been putting herself out there to a nauseating degree, fan-girling over guys she’d like to date and dropping names like it was an invitation. But friends feel she’s coming across as too needy and should tone it down,” says an insider.
Simpson hasn’t been shy about who she’s after. From TV bad boy Charlie Hunnam to Fifty Shades hunk Jamie Dornan, she’s openly declared her crushes like she’s sending out invitations. Insiders say she’s even reached out directly, leaving little mystery about her intentions. While Simpson feels confident she deserves an A-list romance to match her fame, some men aren’t responding the way she hoped.
Jessica Simpson’s Dating Game Is Raising Eyebrows
Since calling it quits with Eric Johnson after nearly a decade of marriage. Jessica has been vocal about wanting more out of her love life. She reportedly always felt her ex didn’t match her star status. Now she’s set her sights high. Maybe a little too high. Sources claim her flirtatious energy is being read as self-absorbed. With some men complaining she can’t talk about anything but herself.
Despite the cold shoulders, Jessica isn’t backing down. Friends describe her as a “highly sexed-up gal” who refuses to sit around waiting for love to knock on her door. But with her advances falling flat, frustration seems to be boiling over. Insiders say the repeated rejections are only fueling her obsession to land a Hollywood catch. Leaving her more restless than ever.
Jessica Simpson may believe she has the looks, fame, and fortune to land any leading man. But her bold pursuit is painting a different picture. Instead of finding romance, she’s becoming the cautionary tale of what happens when chasing love turns into a spectacle.
