Jessica Simpson is in awe of her tallest gift.
Indeed, the “With You” singer showed how much her and estranged husband Eric Johnson’s son, 12-year-old Acehas grown up while sharing a glimpse into them spending quality time together.
“My 12yr old is much taller than mama,” Jessica wrote on her Feb. 6 Instagram Stories alongside a photo set to Ben E. King’s song “Stand By Me,” which sees Ace giving her a kiss on the forehead. She added, “Fun fact, he was born to this tune.”
True to the track’s theme, the All’s Fair actor has been standing next to her son as he hits new milestones. Last December, she offered a look at how Ace and his siblings Maxwell13, and Birdie6—who she also shares with the retired NFL player—celebrated their second Christmas in Nashvillewhere they relocated to from Los Angeles in 2023.
“Christmas time is here!” Jessica captioned her Instagram post that month, including a photo of them smiling in front of their decorated tree. “What the month of December brings to my kiddos has always been about the genuine feelings of love, excitement, hope, happiness, grace and pure JOY!”
