Jessica Simpson has never looked better in her life.

The 45-year-old fashion designer sizzled in a swimsuit as she presented her summer collection for Walmart on Wednesday.

The blonde had a very toned figure and small waistline as she showed off a new zebra print one-piece with a floral print design on top that sells for $32.

But the star does not seem to be feeling as great as she looks.

That same day Simpson shared a heartbreaking post to Instagram about how she has been suffering since splitting from her husband Eric Johnson in October 2023.

And the Texas native added that the only thing that has helped her work through her emotions is performing on stage for her fans. She is currently on tour to promote her Nashville Canyon album.

Jessica Simpson has never looked better as she sizzled in a swimsuit while presenting her summer collection for Walmart on Wednesday

‘As I go through my life and my heart gets broken inside of my safe places, I have learned to cling to these words that have become somewhat of a daily affirmation “Home is a feeling, not a place”…’ she began her post.

‘Not only do I say these words to myself, I sing these words in the song, Fade, off of Nashville Canyon part 2.’

The single mom added, ‘I wrote Fade the day that the trajectory of my life changed forever in October of 2023.’

Simpson officially announced her separation from Johnson on January 13, 2025, after nearly a decade of marriage. 

While they publicly revealed the split in January, reports and Simpson’s own statements indicated that they had been living apart since 2023. 

Despite the official separation, the two continued to navigate their transition amicably for the sake of their three children: Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, seven.

She also designs lingerie for the brand; seen on Walmart’s wesbite

‘After all that I have chosen to pull myself through with as much strength, courage, confidence and compassion possible, I am able to free myself from the pain of disappointment every single time I am blessed to be able to take the stage.’

She then said she was very grateful for the feeling of ‘home’ while on the stage.

‘Over the last 15yrs of not performing, I haven’t been able to fully express myself in ways that make the most sense for my life,’ explained the artist.

‘Each and every single one of you that bless my heart by comin’ to MY HOME on the stage have become a major part of my journey through the pain and the joy.

‘Y’all have resurrected my purpose and have accepted me as I am!’

Simpson said there is no greater achievement than to be able to be seen and experienced as herself.

Last year she posed in a yellow swimsuit with her daughter Birdie

‘I’m so lucky to vulnerably sing and chat with all of you that come to these shows!’ added the former reality TV star.

‘Thank y’all for making me feel loved and valued! Excited to see and share powerful, inspiring and real moments with everyone this week!’

Her caption for the Walmart commercial mentioned her new performances: ‘Our new collection at @walmart is summer concert ready! I love seeing y’all in your @jessicasimpsonstyle at my shows! Come say hi at a MG or tag us! PA, NY, and OH – I’ll see y’all this week!’ 

This comes after The Daily Mail reported Simpson is working on a ‘new project’ that will be revealed soon.
