In May, Simpson wrote that she was slowly but surely getting back into exercising, jokingly captioning a shot of her bent over in an attempt to touch her toes, “Just stretching it out in my rubber corset. The joy of postpartum.”
She expressed her love and gratitude for Johnson, 39, on Sunday in a black and white Father’s Day post. The photo showed Johnson holding a then-newborn Birdie while her big brother, 5-year-old Ace Knute, and big sister, 7-year-old Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, stood nearby.
“Anyone that knows my husband Eric would agree that he is hands down the best Father in the world,” she captioned the post. “Happy Father’s Day baby! Thank you for always putting love first. This family of 5 loves you with all of our hearts.”
