Jessica Simpson Gets Emotional Over Lookalike Daughter Maxwell's Major Milestone

Simpson celebrated Maxwell's graduation from the sixth grade on June 3 with a sweet mother-daughter Instagram selfie. The golden light of the day shined bright on the twinning family members.

More from SheKnows Why Malia Obama Quietly Dropped Her Last Name - And What Michelle Really Thinks About It 'Let the good times roll into the 7th grade my beautiful Maxwell Drew 🎓✨💛,' wrote the proud mom in the caption. Simpson, who shares Maxwell, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 6, with estranged husband Eric Johnson, often speaks about how motherhood shaped her adult life, especially when it comes to body image. 'Raising Maxwell makes me realize that I don't want her to see me beat myself up for things like food choices or numbers on a scale,' she told People in 2013. 'Those things don't determine who we are and instead make us feel terrible about ourselves I want her to know her value, rather than spending her energy fighting negative voices from within.' The 44-year-old singer praised her teen daughter for being 'a leader, a doer, a protector, a light, a determined force, a lover of life, a goofball, a treasure, a creative, a care bear, a trusted wise old soul' in a May 11 Mother's Day post. She continued, 'Maxwell is indeed a drama free intuitive feelin' empath. She is an inspiration to all who know her, follow her and confide in her.' Simpson revealed that her mother, Tina, treated Maxwell to a Parisian trip in honor of her 13th birthday on May 1. '3 generations 3 connected hearts 3 spirit-filled souls 3 women who smile, laugh, and shine brighter through it all ✨💛💛💛✨,' gushed the 'I Wanna Love You Forever' singer. 'It is official…I AM THE MOTHER OF A TEENAGER, and I LOVE IT.'

Jason Kelce Reflects on Retirement, Family and Lessons From His Mother
Jason Kelce Reflects on Retirement, Family and Lessons From His Mother originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce is fully embracing his retirement era, balancing his new ESPN career with family time and discovering what matters most in his post-NFL journey. The beloved center recently gave Eagles Today an exclusive glimpse into his Mother's Day celebrations and the values he hopes to pass down to his four daughters. Advertisement Fresh from a family-filled Mother's Day weekend, Kelce shared details with People magazine while attending the Amazon Upfront event in New York on Monday with brother Travis. The gathering brought together the extended Kelce clan for a celebration in Philadelphia that exemplified the close-knit family bonds Jason has always prioritized. "We had a whole crew in. We had a great brunch together, a day together," Kelce told Eagles Today. "It's special when we all get to get together. It's hard with everyone's schedules these days, but for all the girls and everybody, it was really a good day." For the Birds legend, these family moments take on new significance now that he's hung up his midnight green jersey. Without the rigorous demands of NFL training camp looming and game preparation consuming his schedule, Kelce is discovering the joy of uninterrupted family time. As he continues building his broadcasting career with Monday Night Football and growing the New Heights podcast empire alongside Travis, Kelce finds himself reflecting on the values that shaped his historic career in Philadelphia—values he hopes to instill in his four daughters: Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and baby Finnley "Finn" Anne, who joined the family in March. Advertisement "The thing that I would love most to instill in my kids is my mom's work ethic and her dedication and sacrifice," Kelce explained. "Growing up, you don't realize everything your mom is doing. But looking back, she was working full-time while handling all the household responsibilities and making sure we had opportunities to achieve our dreams." The future Hall of Famer's appreciation for Donna Kelce's example has only deepened with time. "That work ethic and sacrifice made her life amazingly successful," he continued. "Those are the qualities I want my girls to understand and embrace." Kelce's retirement has allowed him to fully appreciate the family foundation that supported his extraordinary career with the Eagles. The six-time All-Pro center is finding that away from the football field, he can focus on creating the same supportive environment for his growing family. While fans miss seeing #62 anchoring the offensive line at Lincoln Financial Field, they'll be happy to know Kelce isn't straying far from his Philadelphia roots this summer. "We're going to be down the shore a lot this year, which we're looking forward to," he shared, maintaining the South Jersey summer tradition beloved by so many Eagles fans. Advertisement Kelce continues embodying the blue-collar values that made him a Philadelphia icon. His focus on family, hard work, and enjoying life's simpler pleasures resonates with the Eagles faithful who watched him give everything to the franchise for 13 remarkable seasons.
