Jessica Simpson is busy promoting her music comeback. Meanwhile, some fans say they don’t even recognize her. On December 16, Jessica posed in a recording studio, writing in an Instagram post, “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul.” Though many fans are looking forward to hearing her new music, others couldn’t get over the fact that Jessica looked dramatically different in the photo.

'Is Jessica in the room with us?' one person commented on the post.
Fans flocked to the comments to critique her appearance, with some claiming that she looked more like Ivanka Trump, Paris Hilton, or a Kardashian.
“These ladies in Hollywood all look alike,” one person wrote. “I honestly canât tell them apart. Theyâre pretty but they look the same.”
Others claimed that they couldn’t even recognize Jessica Simpson at all. “What has she done to herself?” one person wondered. “This doesn’t even look like her.”
“I donât even recognize this person,” another fan commented.
However, some defended the seemingly dramatic change.
While many people who commented on Jessica’s recent Instagram post were quite critical of her appearance, others defended her new look.
“Itâs called makeup,” one fan wrote, calling out the people who claimed that they couldn’t recognize Jessica. “She looks great back to her old self!”
Another fan echoed this sentiment in a separate comment. “She seems healthy, happy, and free so maybe yall should just applaud her for living authentically and keep it moving,” they commented.

Fans have also commented on how her recent Instagram posts make her look single.
In recent months, Jessica Simpson’s husband Eric Johnson has been notably absent from her Instagram posts. When Jessica shared a photo on November 11 to promote her new music, some took it as a sign that her marriage might be over. “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” Jessica captioned the post. “This comeback is personal, itâs an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
Though she didn’t mention her marriage at all, some thought it seemed like a breakup post. “If it is a break up post ⌠remember ⌠your husband was there for you and stood by your side during your darkest days,” one person commented on the post.
Divorce rumors have been circulating for a while.
In 2023, Jessica wished her husband a happy birthday on Instagram even though “he ainât an Instagram guy.”
“Eric turned 44 on Sept 15 and his family gave him all the love cells we have to celebrate his life,” she wrote at the time. “My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my ownâŚ.We love youuuu.”
This September, fans noticed that she didn’t mention his birthday. Instead, she shared a cryptic post about forgiveness.
A source told People magazine that Jessica and her husband 'very much live separate lives.'
“Sheâs working on music and splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville. Eric spends all of his time in LA, where the kids go to school,” the insider told the publication in November. In October, an insider told In Touch that Jessica might file for divorce soon. âItâs pretty much over,â the source said at the time.
