Jessica Simpson learns a thing or two from her 11-year-old daughter.
In an interview with Footwear News magazinethe pop icon, 43, was asked about what cues she takes from her family, revealing that her daughter Maxwell taught her to love herself.
“She’s very into great things, how to improve herself,” Simpson said. “I had to make her explain it to me the other day, because I thought it was literally putting highlighter on her cheeks.”
“She said, ‘Mom, no, it’s your inner glow and how to make everything in your life shine.’ Wow, that’s a beautiful concept. If that’s what you’re learning on TikTok, go ahead — but just know, it’s all filters.”

Jessica Simpson Says Daughter Maxwell Is Dressing Up as Santa for Halloween: ‘In Christmas Mode’ (Exclusive)
Simpson shares her three children – Maxwell, Ace, 10, and Birdie, 4 – with husband Eric Johnson.
While talking to PEOPLE about the latest fall edition of her Jessica Simpson collection in October, the singer shared a few of her family’s Christmas traditions during the holiday season.
“Our family traditions are really all about one thing – being together,” she said. “It turns out we’re all locals.”
“My family is all about the seasons – Maxwell is already in Christmas mode! She’s been playing Christmas music on the way to school, she’s already got a little Christmas tree for her room and she’s wafting the scent of pine all over our house.”
“I told her she skipped a few big ones, but I can’t fault her, I love Christmas time and the holidays, so I guess the apple (or ornament in this case) didn’t fall too far from the tree,” Simpson said.
The proud mom opened it Access in August about her relationship with Johnson and their children, explaining that “it’s good to keep the romance there, even with three kids on top of your head.”
“It’s hard, but he’ll leave me little notes, because he’ll wake up earlier than me. He’ll leave me little letters,” Simpson shared.
“There are a lot of things that make me say, ‘I can’t wait to get my hands on it later.’ I think you have to have those little things as a couple that are just between the two of you,” she added.
