Here we go again.
In the third story of its kind this week, OK! reports Jessica Simpson’s fiancé Eric Johnson has “called off” their wedding because she hasn’t yet lost her baby weight.
Seriously.
According to the mag, Simpson is “tortured over her inability to shed the 60 pounds she gained during pregnancy, and feeling intense pressure after signing a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers.”
The tab goes on to claim that “Jessica’s emotional state is so fragile that Eric has called off their summer wedding indefinitely.”
A supposed “insider” tells the tabloid, “He’s doing it because he cares about her,” explaining, “Eric says the pressure to get thin is playing havoc with Jessica’s mood swings — she gets super-short-tempered and emotional.”
Johnson is “adamant that they should hold off and set the wedding date when Jessica’s feeling good about herself,” says the alleged source.
Well, that seems to make sense.
There’s just one tiny problem with this story.
Simpson and Johnson were NEVER planning on getting married this summer.
A friend of Simpson’s tells Gossip Cop the tab’s tale is completely “not true,” adding that there was “no summer wedding.”
Oops.
