Jessica Simpson Covers Vanity Fair June 2009

Jessica Simpson graces the June 2009 cover of Vanity Fair magazine. The 28-year-old singer/actress opens up about her life, love and lot more. Here are some highlights from the interview:

On whether “Newlyweds” was to blame for the breakdown of her marriage to Nick Lachey: “In all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage, Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”

On her current relationship with Nick: “I have not spoken to him in years.”

On her weight being documented by tabloids: “It comes with what I do and I know that every day the media’s going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I’m at such a place that I own myself, and it’s authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them. I can’t imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else.”

On being called a jinx for boyfriend Tony Romo’s football career: “Can’t help it. But we don’t let it affect our relationship. If we did, we wouldn’t be together, because it happened at the very beginning. Dating the Cowboys quarterback comes with hype, the fans, the bloggers, but I’ve never dated a guy that was more simple. I’m always there for him after a game, and he knows he has me to come home to.”
