Simpson, 38, and her husband, former NFL player Eric Johnson, 39, currently have two children: daughter Maxwell Drew, 6, and son Ace Knute, 5. Just last year, she told Ellen DeGeneres that she was taking precautions to avoid another pregnancy.
\"I have two beautiful children and I'm not having a third,\" she said. \"They're too cute! You really can't top that.\"
