Gossip: Jessica Simpson
Simpson stands to cash in on motherhood.
Jessica Simpson stands to cash in on motherhood, said FOX411.com. The singer and fashion designer, 31, and her husband, former NFL player Eric Johnson, 32, welcomed a 9 pound, 13 ounce baby girl, Maxwell Drew, in relative luxury last week. The couple spent $4,000 per day for a posh birthing suite at Los Angeles’s Cedars Sinai Medical Center, but Simpson could easily recoup her expenses. Through the sale of baby pictures, mommy-related fashion products, endorsements with weight-loss companies, and other marketing ploys, Simpson could make as much as $14 million from the pregnancy.
