On a video uploaded to Instagram by Jessica Simpson, which she captioned “Already borrowing his dad’s club”, followed up by the hashtag “#Aceknute”. The 38 years old fashion designer seems very excited as she took to Instagram to share the video of her 5- year old son, Ace who in the video took a swing and watched as the golf ball went into the air.
It is a fulfilling moment for everyone as a parent to see their child doing what they do. Being a role model can never be better than this. Surely, this joy must fill the heart of Jessica and the father, Eric Johnson. Ace is the second child of the couple. Their other children are Maxwell, aged 7, and Birdie, just about two months old. But apparently, it seems Maxwell is also following the footsteps of her mother. About a year ago, Jessica hinted that Maxwell could turn out to be a singer like herself. She said:
“Maxwell has a great voice. She’s pretty shy. Mum’s shy too, so you never know. “You never know if you’re a born entertainer or not.” From her words, Jessica Simpson would be supportive of her daughter if she follows her footsteps in this way. The “I wanna love you” singer had also revealed after she gave birth to her third child to Eric Johnson that she’s grateful to the two older siblings who have both been “very helpful and sweet with the baby”, by getting involved in everything. Prior to that, she said: “They were incredibly gentle with her and just wanted to hold her and kiss her. They had made her welcome signs and chosen their own gifts for her that they brought in when they met her for the first time. To see them love her instantly truly melted my heart.”
So, if Maxwell is taking after her mother, and Ace is following in his father’s footsteps, who will little Birdie go after? Jessica Simpson, Eric Johnson, or perhaps both of them? Seems both of them would be more perfect. But you never know, the fourth baby might be coming, so that they can both have two of their children following in their footsteps each. Simpson joked in April when speaking on what it feels like for her as a mother of three; she said:
Three is challenging. We are trying to get into the groove and make sure all three kids are getting equal attention…it’s more than a full-time job right now, The other night, all three kids were crying at the same time, so I just joined in! Ha!
However, from another of Jessica’s Instagram post, it seems golf isn’t the only sports Ace is talented in. Jessica had also recently posted a photo of him on the baseball diamond. She added a caption “Homerun King” to the photo. Well, why would anyone be surprised at this? His father, Eric Johnson formerly played in the NFL. Ace is really taking after him.
It feels just like yesterday when in 2013, the news was broken that the couple had given birth to another child at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, 2 years after the birth of the first, Maxwell. And very soon, Ace Knute Johnson will be 6 years of age. It feels so good to see the family doing so well. They are now a family of five! But would they add more?
