overview

Growing up in Texas, Jessica knew exactly what she wanted out of life. Every time she saw someone on stage singing she knew that she wanted to be up there in the spotlight.

Jessica grew up in a conservative Christian family – her father was a pastor — and was even headed in the direction of becoming a Christian singing star. Before her first Christian music album could be released, the label folded. Her Christian roots didn’t fail her though. She got her first major record contract after she performed “Amazing Grace” a cappella for the CEO of Columbia Records. The utterly wholesome Jessica was well on her way.

Although she’s had tremendous success with her singing career, she’s also branched out into reality television in 2003 with her ex-husband Nick Lachey, formerly of the band “98 Degrees.” And she’s made the transition to the big screen too, slipping into the ultra short shorts to become Daisy Duke in “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

  • Name: Jessica Simpson
  • Birthdate: July 10, 1980
  • Birthplace: Dallas, Texas
