Jessica: After Split, 'I'd Still Love Tony'

(Newser) – Jessica Simpson waxed prescient in an interview with Glamour just days before the demise of her relationship with Tony Romo: “I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope that my life, as it is now, doesn’t change,” she says. “If this article comes out and we’re not together, I’d still love him, and he’d still be a huge part of who I am today.”

Romo wasn’t the only thing on Simpson’s mind: She also discussed her country album and upcoming reality show, and her fashion line—which uses “normal, everyday women” as models, she says. Simpson, 29, adds that her own body-image issues will help her explore “the price of beauty” in her new show: “We’re all facing the same struggles together, whether you’re a celebrity or not.”

It’s not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe. I’ve been through it myself, and understand the pressures. - Jessica Simpson

When I was young, I would look at magazines and feel a lot of pressure. As a child of 12, I would write things in my journal like, 'I’m lying here and all I can think about is that my stomach is hanging over my underwear.' - Jessica Simpson
