Jessica Simpson ‘Cutting Loose and Serving Her Needs’ With Casual Hookups on the Heels of Divorce

Jessica Simpson hasn’t had much luck finding a new beau, but sources say she’s willing to settle for a boytoy for some no-strings-attached hookups.

As readers know, the 45-year-old pop star split from former NFL player Eric Johnson, also 45, earlier this year after 10 years of marriage and is now single and very ready to mingle.

“Jessica would love to have a boyfriend right now,” says an insider. “But it’s been challenging to find that right person and she’s confident she will in time. In the meantime, she’s cutting loose and serving her needs by hooking up with guys for some casual fun and games.”

Jessica is following the lead of fellow cougar Charlize Theron, 49, who recently dished on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that she had a one-night stand with a man half her age that she said was “really f**king amazing.”

According to our insider, Jessica is also more interested in younger guys in their 20s and 30s.

“Jessica is a very visual person, and younger guys, with their smooth skin and rock-hard bodies, are more attractive than most older guys,” the source says.

“Of course, the guys will have to sign NDAs and she’ll vet them closely, but spending time with them is a nice way to get her confidence back.”

But she also hasn’t given up on looking for a more serious relationship and is putting the word out to friends to introduce her to any eligible men they know, says a source.

She even told Jenna Bush Hager she was eager to be set up during a recent appearance on the Today show.

“I’d totally jump on that. Yes, I’m single … I’m ready!” Jessica gushed.

Adds the insider, “There are plenty of options for her. She’s stunning and very well connected and a bit of an enigma for the younger generation of men.”
