Jessica Simpson recounted her steamy romance with a “world-famous actor” in her memoir.
The Employee of the Month star delved into the romantic aspect of her life in the Amazon Original Story Movie Star: They Always Say They’re Single, focusing on a particular romance.
The brief but “true” story depicts Simpson discussing her love life in the year 2006, following the end of her marriage to Nick Lachey.
The book’s synopsis highlights that this was a period where Simpson “wonder[ed] who she really [was],” as she began “explor[ing] what she truly wants in a relationship.”
During this time, she found herself dating a “world-famous actor” who had been her “A-list childhood crush.”
Simpson recalls being “eyeballed up and down” by this mystery A-lister at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.
However, their paths did not cross again until after her divorce.
Describing their initial meeting, Simpson said: “This megastar, who I grew up thinking was so hot, eyeballed me up and down. Like he was undressing me with his eyes.”
Once her marriage was officially over, she reportedly encountered the movie star again at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2006, where the two shared a kiss.
“I felt this warm rush all the way down my body to the tips of my toes in my wedges,” Simpson said.
The situation quickly changed when The Dukes of Hazzard star learned that her secret fling was already in a relationship and had a girlfriend.
After seeing the unnamed actor attend a red carpet event with his girlfriend, Simpson realized she “was never ever in a million years going to be the other woman.”
She claims the actor told her: “You’re the only girl I want to be with, you’re it.”
However, Simpson reflected: “Yes, there was something sexy and enticing about all this, but there was also something demeaning about it. I felt like a call girl.”
She realized he was “hiding me from his chick” and thought: “I didn’t care if he was my teenage fantasy come to life, this was not a choice that same girl, my younger self, would be proud of.”
Although this mystery man has not been identified, it’s likely that social media will be buzzing with speculation as the rumor mill starts churning.
Simpson has been married to NFL player Eric Johnson since 2014, and the couple has three children together.
