Jessica Simpson tweets photo of brunette Maxwell’s first 4th of July: adorable?

Jessica Simpson just tweeted this photo of herself, Eric Johnson and baby Maxwell on the 4th of July. The photo looks so perfect, my first thought was “Wow, is that the ‘fireworks’ backdrop at a professional photo studio?” But I think it’s for real. Somebody just managed to take a beautiful photo of the Simpson-Johnson family. My thoughts, in no particular order:

*I like that Eric is holding the baby! I hope he turns out to be a great, low-key dad. My body language analysis of this photo – and previous photos of the couple – is that he actually does adore Jessica and he’s happy with his new family.

*Jessica is so pretty without makeup. She doesn’t need to wear a stitch of it and she’s still radiant.

*Little Maxwell is a big baby! I love that Maxi is really looking more and more gingery and brunette as opposed to blonde. I have no doubt that when the baby gets a little bigger, her mom will be putting Sun-In in her hair, trying to make it blonder.

*Little Maxwell looks like her dad, right? Like, I can barely see any of Jessica in there. It’s all Eric at this point.

Us Weekly has some nice quotes from “sources” close to the family – probably Papa Joe, but whatever. The quotes are nice. A source says, “Eric loves holding Maxwell — that is, when he can manage to get her away from Jessica… Everyone is marveling at what a natural Jessica is. She was born to be a mom.”

Last thing – there were rumors earlier this week that Jessica was going to launch a “bridal collection” to her very successful fashion line, but E! News says that rumor is false. I do think she’s going to go ahead with a full-blown maternity line, though.

    they look very happy – good for them! 🙂

  2. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I’ve ALWAYS thought that she looks so pretty with minimal or no makeup. I actually think she looks better.

  3. Eleonor says:

    Say what you want about Jessica, but she is one of the few celebrities who looks good without makeup and photoshop.

    • backwards says:

      +1 She has a beautiful face

      I want to pinch Maxwell’s cheeks so hard! What a cutie

    • RocketMerry says:

      She does, but she does have make up on, here. A lot of foundation, bronzer on the cheeks and just a swipe of mascara. Which is minimal make up, but still make up.
      And she looks good!

      Also, love the look on Maxi’s face: “What da…?! Keep it quiet! Shhhesh.” Lol, the first fireworks are the best!

      • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

        Agree. She is def wearing makeup – just not really any on her eyes or lips. Very pretty though!

  4. Jennifer says:

    Ooo, I hope she goes forward with the maternity line. It’s so hard to find good, stylish inexpensive maternity clothing!

    • Me says:

      It’s not hard to find cute maternity clothes! Pea in the Pod, Motherhood, etc. have great clothes! if Pea in the Pod is too $$$ try Ebay or resale shops. I had a couple of expensive suits that I only wore once or twice that ended up at a resale shop. Somebody got a good deal. There are TONS of cute maternity clothes out there.

    What does he do every day since he doesn’t have a job?

    • CindyBman says:

      That’s just rude.

    • Jaime says:

      I’m sure you have a billion dollar shoe, luggage and accessory line. No job my ass.

      • Ally says:

        The line makes a billion dollars, she gets a percentage ( = millions) with which she buys Louis Vuitton. She licenses her name willy-nilly like the now-tacky Pierre Cardin.

      • Shoe_lover says:

        Jayna said HE not SHE.

    • mt says:

      Why don’t u send in ur pic. That’s a beautiful family. Just beautiful<3

    • remote control says:

      My guess Liz suffers from an eating disorder. Enjoy the hate, Liz..it’s probably what you eat for meals.

    • corny says:

      wow, so much hostility over a simple family shot???????????????????????

    • Penguin says:

      Grow up liz ur pathetic. I suspect your 1 of those people who thinks if ur not below 120 pounds then you’re a greedy pig with no self control.

    • bubbles says:

      I feel really bad for agreeing with you, but that was kinda my first thought when I saw the picture. the family that eats together…

  6. Relli says:

    Aw she looks really happy you guys! Maxi may have Jess’ eyes but that about it, she her Daddy’s mini-me. I will die if Jessica ends up with some super smart athletic children because of this man.

    Also, Kaiser i love that when i drag my mouse over the picture it says “farty1,” never change ladies 🙂

  7. Ginger says:

    A photographers opinion: It looks real to me…a gorgeous and lucky shot! They are a beautiful family.

  8. Caitlinsmommy says:

    Adorable, all three of them.

  9. Sirsnarksalot says:

    Yeah she looks great without makeup if by “without makeup” you mean “covered in bronzer”. Cute family tho. BIG baby.

  10. Nicole says:

    Cute baby. She looks just like Jessica.

  11. Lisa Turtle says:

    Baby hair has almost no relevance as to what the child’s hair will look like when she ages…

    My best friend is dark skinned, dark eyed, and dark haired (she’s African-American)… her husband is blonde, blue eyed (Danish)… Their daughter came out dark like her mother and was like that for the first 4-6 months. As she became a toddler her pigmentation has actually lightened dramatically. Her dark hair grew out blond and straight and her eyes have lightened to blue! My friend can’t believe she’s got a totally white-looking mixed race baby. Both ways she’s cute as a peach! 🙂

    • cupidityrox! says:

      Wow!
      gotta love genetics..

    • Marianne says:

      Paula Patton’s son has very blonde hair too.

      I personally was born with blonde curly hair and it changed to straight and brunette.

    • LilDebbi says:

      My friend who is Indian has two boys who take after their blond, blue-eyed daddy 100%. She has several times been asked about her charges at the playground (i.e. mistaken for the nanny!) Genetics can be just a mystery.

  12. Jezi says:

    Jessica has always been beautiful without a lot of makeup. Lucky bitch!

  13. Alexis says:

    Jess looks good! The father kind of looks douchey, but overall it’s a nice photo!

  14. blinkblue says:

    I absolutely can see Jessica and her sister Ashlee in that baby. She is adorable!

  15. Dawned says:

    I would love to look like that without makeup. I’m jealous. They do appear to be very happy.

  16. marie says:

    Jessica really is a beautiful girl, she should be make up free more often.. They’re a cute family.

  17. Courtney says:

    you guys have to realize there wasn’t always photoshop.some people stay the hair color they were born with outside of dying it for work until they’re in their 40’s or 50’s but you never know with genetics. Baby Maxwell looks like Jessica in the symetry of her face and her coloring just like Claire Newman does her mom and Claire doesn’t dye her hair brown like her older sister Melissa does [IMG]http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr294/rachelspinkbfly/142342464-3.jpg[/IMG]the only difference between mother & daughter other than a 35 year age difference is Claire has ice blue eyes like her older sisters and their father did/do while her mother has pale emerald green ones

  18. the original bellaluna says:

    Cute & happy family 4th. But put earplugs in the baby’s ears before the fireworks, Farty. 😉

  19. Jen says:

    Glad they are happy . . . but couldn’t care less about them! They need to go away.

  20. TG says:

    Her son is adorable. Jess is so pretty when she isn’t being so sloppy and porny. Wish she would ditch the loser looking guy she is with.

  21. ummmm says:

    Just so everyone knows this is a genuine pic, no photoshop at all & taken in Malibu at a party they had for the 4th of July with some of there closest friends.

    Very nice that no image manipulation by paps or tabloids was taking place for drama & trashing for there stories.

    Amazing when a natural picture can be taken verses angles & poor phtography takes place. I suspect this is Jess rebuttle to the crap thats out there.

    The loser guy is one hell of a guy. Awesome guy actually.

    When you talk porny & sloppy I suspect that would mean your on 24/7 looking fabulous & being followed for your every move especially after a heavy sweat at a gym. I know I just jump right at it. lol WE tend to forget many of these people are actually human. Sure Celebrity but still human. The problem is when Jessica looks good or fabulous it doesn’t bring the same attention. The tabloids don’t get the sales or attention but get Jessica on a bad day so the haters & trashers come out. Well you know whatch the hits this article gets verses the ones done last week & see why tabloids & gossip blogs print what they do about Jessica.. there money is in trash talk & hits to there sites.

    • Sirsnarksalot says:

      And there’s a lot of money in selling your baby photos and other PR stories to the tabloids too. If Jessica can make money off of it then she really shouldn’t complain (or send her grammatically challenged “friend”) out to complain on a blog because we aren’t fawning over her.

  22. Maritza says:

    A beautiful loving and very happy family, good for them! Maxwell looks just like her daddy. Something tells me Jessica will get pregnant again rather sooner than later.

  23. Samigirl says:

    What a loooong baby! They look like a very happy family 🙂

  24. MW says:

    Nice pic. I am surprised the baby looks so relaxed. The fireworks we watched were about twice as far away as those, but still quite loud, and my dogs were still a little skittish.

  25. BRE says:

    OK, seeing that ugly sweater on another celeb this week made me search to see how much it cost – over $200!!

    http://fckwhatyouheard.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/why-do-celebs-buy-tattered-clothes/

    • skuddles says:

      Seriously, she paid $200 for a ratty sweater?! I own a couple pairs of distressed jeans but can’t fathom buying a sweater that looks like it’s one wash away from completely unraveling…

  26. Isa says:

    That baby is super long! I gotta admit I don’t think she is cute. But I suspect she will be really pretty when she gets older. She just has a really squishy baby face.
    Jessica looks amazing dressed down. I wish I looked like that with little or no makeup. Maybe maxwell will have beautiful highlights like my daughter. It looks like I took her to get blonde highlights in the summer but it’s natural!

    • Samigirl says:

      I had highlights like that too, all natural and just beautiful. I wish I would have listened to my dad when he said I shouldn’t dye my hair. GAHHH.

  27. HappyJoyJoy says:

    My… that baby…. I’m sure she’ll grow into her looks… right?

  28. Marianne says:

    The sweater is really popular. Alessandra (something rather) was seen wearing it, as well as Miley Cyrus. Maxwell is sooooo huge.

  29. Aurelia says:

    Yes, indeed. Baby looks about 9 months old and just like the father sadly.

  30. HadlyB says:

    Jess looks great with min amount of make up — I think she does have some on here though, like someone said earlier – foundation / bronzer ( not thick like some but a little ) mascara but thats it and she looks great.

    We all have seen her without any though and she still looks good, she is one of the few people tan or pale that can look good without makeup or with a light coating and I prefer her with minimal amount.

    Her hair has always looks gorgeous, be is very light blonde, dark, with roots, without, whatever.

    They all look beautiful and happy.

  31. Isabel says:

    Jess and the husband are cute… but the baby.. I am sorry, but what an ugly kid.. Hope she grows into her looks

  32. Jackie O says:

    its a good thing mothers typically find their babies beautiful, cause that is one ugly baby.

  33. RuddyZooKeeper says:

    Welcome to parenthood! They have that sleep-deprived, insanely contented look about them, right?

  34. Isabelsinn says:

    That is a boobie baby. That’s why she is so big. My son (7 months) is 21 lbs and very long (I will find out next week) and has been exclusively breastfed. Hell, he wears a 12-18mo onesie. My ped said that breastfed babies are “little butterballs” compared to formula babies but it comes off when they start crawling and walking. She is a cutie and Jess looks so pretty.

  35. Melinda says:

    Jessica really is so pretty!

  36. Melinda says:

    Jessica really is so pretty.

  37. Joanna says:

    what a sweet picture. i like jess, she’s not stuck up despite all her money. she’s just a normal person. yes, there are people that eat junk food and fart like her.

  38. B says:

    What an unattractive baby. :S
    Cute photo, though. I’m not really a Jessica Simpson fan, but she does look fantastic without makeup…just so natural and fresh.

  39. janet says:

    It is so nice to see a happy family and jessica simpson looks radiant without makeup!
