Jessica Simpson revealed that she previously tested positive for COVID-19.
The pop star, 40, told fans of her positive diagnosis on Instagram on Monday while promoting her upcoming essay for Amazon’s Original Stories series.
"This past year has been especially intense for me and so many of you. I started writing this essay on the same day I received a positive test result for COVID-19," Simpson wrote on her Instagram story. She did not go into any further details of when she tested positive, or her health battle with the virus.
"I decided instead of being driven by fear, I would manifest a hopeful conversation with you," she continued. "I felt strong, resilient, and God- inspired through my pen teaching me as I was sharing with you ways to get to the other side of fear."
Simpson announced her partnership with Amazon Studios in early December. Her essay, titled, “Take the Lead” will be available on April 29, People reported.
In December, Simpson shared her truth on parenting three children during the coronavirus lockdown.
"The maze of quarantine holiday Motherhood has knocked me on my butt...well for the next 5 mins at least. Ha," Simpson wrote alongside a tired selfie.
The singer told People, “I definitely had to multitask on a whole new level this year, between my kids being in school on Zoom and being a working mom, keeping the Jessica Simpson Collection running remotely and pushing through inspired ideas that became endless and so many rewarded all while keeping my family smiling,"
Simpson is mother to Maxwell, 8, Ace, 8, and Birdie, 21 months.
