She’s irresistible.

Jessica Simpson isn’t worried about finding a new man a year after announcing her separation from estranged husband Eric Johnson.

The pop star made rare comments about her exciting single life in an interview with TMZ published Monday.

When asked by the outlet if she would ever star in “The Bachelorette,” Simpson replied with some sass, “I have options. I’m good.”

The “Irresistible” singer confirmed that she has no interest in starring in the popular dating show.

When the reporter noted that she would get “huge ratings” if she starred in the series, Simpson admitted, “I don’t care about that.”

In July 2025, the “Take My Breath Away” singer revealed that she is looking to date someone who is a skilled smoocher.

“It has to be a very good kisser,” she said on the “Today” show at the time, adding, “See, that’s like the most intimate thing. Grab my face and pull me in!”

Simpson shared that she is ready to date and is looking for someone with unique qualities.

“My type of person is a one-of-a-kind,” she said. “I don’t have like, a look or anything like that. I just like for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego.”

She also expressed her optimism, saying that she feels like her perfect match is “out there.”

“I don’t need somebody to be supportive of me all the time,” she said. “I feel like the independence I have right now, if I can have that and give it to someone else, that would be cool.”

“I have a lot to give,” she added.

Simpson is also toying with the idea of a May-December romance.

“I think I’m into younger men at the moment,” she told Extra at the “All’s Fair” premiere in Los Angeles in October 2025.

“When you’re newly separated… I feel like younger guys kinda like the confidence of an older women, I’m discovering,” she explained. “I am having fun!”

The “Open Book” author is single after announcing in January 2025 that she and Johnson separated after 10 years of marriage.

Simpson and the former NFL player, who tied the knot in 2014, share three kids: daughters Maxwell Drew, 13, and Birdie Mae, 6, and 12-year-old son Ace Knute.

The pair are seemingly on decent terms as they spent this past Thanksgiving together with their kids.

A source previously told Page Six that Johnson and Simpson ended their relationship because they struggled with “trust issues.”

“They were no longer on the same page, and it drove a wedge between them,” the insider said.

Simpson also suggested that Johnson, 46, had cheated on her in the lyrics to her song “Leave,” which dropped last March.

The hitmaker was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006. She also dated several high-profile men, including John Mayer, Adam Levine, and Tony Romo.
