Jessica Simpson has opened up about her romantic life right now in a very candid interview.

Simpson got into her own love life as she recalled how it was stepping back into acting.

Simpson was initially talking about her experience working on the new TV drama, All’s Fair, at the LA premiere of the Hulu show, when she delved into her own personal life.

In an interview with Extra, she insisted her fans would see her get into some rather steamy scenes and reflected on her own romantic life right now.

She noted that in the show she makes out with a man significantly older than her before being asked whether it is something she is now into.

She said: “You know, I have never made out with a man that much older than me. It wasn’t terrible.”

Half jokingly, she was then asked whether she now had a taste for men in their 70s and Simpson replied: “I don’t know about that.

“But I think I am into younger men at the moment, when you are newly separated, I feel like younger guys like the confidence of an older women, I am discovering.

“I am having fun right now.”

At the start of the year in January, Simpson confirmed that she had split from her husband of almost 10 years, former NFL player Eric Johnson.

Just ahead of their 10th anniversary, Simpson issued a statement and said they would be taking time apart.

The statement read: “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.

“Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."

The pair shares three children, daughters Maxwell 'Maxi' Drew, 13, and Birdie Mae, 6, and son Ace Knute, 12.

It's unclear how long Johnson and Simpson had been living separately, though Johnson was seen out without his wedding ring in November 2024.

Simpson had very lovingly described her relationship with her husband just a year prior to that in 2023.

Speaking to People at the time, she said: "A true love will never make you question yourself or what's real. Thanks to my amazing soulmate, I am able to love passionately and without fear of being hurt.”

She also said that her husband understood her heart more than anyone she’d ever met.
