Simpson, who has hits such as ‘I Wanna Love You Forever’ and ‘I Think I’m In Love With You’, last released an album in 2010 with Merry Christmas. Starting last year, she started opening up about reclaiming her pop star past.
“I do this now as a mother, as a wife. I was married last time, but this is a completely different marriage,” she said Rush during an interview in 2023. “And they’ve never seen me do this.”

Some of the things he likes most about me are my flaws. I am secure in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side, with free will!”
