“Happy birthday to my mother – the giver of wealth, love, passion and purpose. Your light is the brightest of all, gathered by your many individual blessings that create iridescent and unique sparks!” Jessica, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 19. “Not only does your radiance make you shine, but in your heart there is an honesty that gives truth to divine ambition and a courageous confidence that shows how passion can lead to unprecedented greatness.”
Along with the message, Jessica shared a picture of herself and Tina, 65, smiling softly for the camera.
“As your firstborn, I can say exactly what I need to, be fully who I am, love selflessly without fear or expectation, and always find ways to think outside the box to solve any problem at any time because you are my guide and showed me the beauty of how,” Jessica wrote. “Many of these things cannot be taught with words—only through leadership and action. I am guided by your example and kindness every day. You do all this, even if you don’t know how, you learn to find a way.”
She continued: “Your ingenuity and all things creative inspire everyone to not just dream, but follow through, and do so with breathtaking confidence. Your determination drives you to make anything possible, no matter how intense the journey of discovery. YOU are unstoppable if you believe in something with all your heart.”
Jessica said she was “very lucky” to be her mum who welcomed her with her ex-husband Joe Simpsonconsider in. (The former couple, who split in 2013 after more than 30 years of marriage, are also parents Ashlee Simpson.)
“When it comes to responsibility, commitment, determination and integrity, YOU ARE THE GOAT💛,” Jessica concluded. “At every sunrise and sunset, especially at the full moon, there is no one in this world I would rather be loved than you. I love to love you, make you proud, hug you and work with you every day for eternity! Thank you for putting me first and for always giving me your all, no matter what love is!”
Tina took to the comments section to respond to Jessica’s touching upload. “I love you Jessica, thank you for such a beautiful tribute, I am so grateful to my family and friends,” Tina wrote. “Thank you all for the beautiful birthday wishes! I love you all 🙏🏼🥳❤️ That’s 65 Hello Senior discounts! 🙌 🙌🙌.”
Jessica’s post was her first upload since then announcing his divorce from Eric Johnson, with whom she has three children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5.
“Eric and I lived separately dealing with a painful situation in our marriage,” Jessica said Us Weekly in a statement dated January 13. “Our children come first and we are focused on what is best for them. We are grateful for all the love and support that has come our way and appreciate the privacy now as we work through this as a family.”
After the news, the source told exclusively us that Jessica and Johnson’s relationship “just isn’t working and hasn’t been for a while.” While Jessica is dealing with the split, the insider added that she is “happy and healthy”.
“She’s not going to worry about (what he’s doing) and is doing her own thing, too,” the source said. “She has a mind of her own, money and family support for whatever happens.”
