Jessica Simpson having a boy: report

Jessica Simpson is about to welcome a little man in her life.

According to reports, the singer-reality star will be giving birth to a baby boy this summer. She her fiancé Eric Johnson are said to be “excited” and are already thinking of names.

“She was so happy that Maxwell is getting a little brother because that’s something she always wanted when she was growing up,” said the source to RadarOnline. “It’s just a pity their favorite boys name went to their daughter first!”

The 32-year-old allegedly found out the sex of the baby after a check-up at the doctor.

The “Fashion Star” mentor confirmed she was expecting her second child on Christmas Day when she tweeted a photo of her eight-month-old daughter Maxwell sitting on sand with the words “BIG SIS” scrawled in front of her.

The new mom told Jay Leno that her current pregnancy has been very different from when she was carrying Maxwell.

“I’ve been really, really sick so I can’t wait to actually be able to crave something like I did in my first pregnancy,” she revealed during an appearance on Leno’s talk show. “I’m due in the summer so I still have a ways to go — hopefully I start feeling better.”

As for when she’ll tie the knot with her fiancé, Simpson said the couple’s wedding was postponed due to her surprise second pregnancy.

“We’ve had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up,” she joked. “I’m doing it very backwards, I know! I’ll just keep my legs crossed this time.”

In addition to having her second baby, Simpson will star in a comedy pilot for NBC.

Page Six reached out to Simpson’s rep but has not received an immediate response.
