Jessica Simpson has shared a heartfelt message reflecting on the past four decades of her life as she celebrated turning 42.
The singer shared her pride at how far she has come after opening up about her recovery from alcoholism last year.
She shared a snap of her from her birthday night, wearing a black dress and strappy heels with her long, blonde hair in loose waves as she told her followers: ‘Oh lil Mrs 42 look at you leanin’ into the moonbeams to recharge and radiate a purposeful glowing heart.
‘I am very proud of my faith, resilience and strength over the last 4 decades. Everything in my life that has or hasn’t happened yet makes turning 42 very exciting because I know what it takes personally to remain inside of DETERMINED PATIENCE.’
Jessica added: ‘I know myself and I do love her very much. I know my purpose and I must say that ladies and gents I am equipped to waltz within every dream I own confidently.
‘I am humbled and honoured to finally be my own best friend. Ok 42, time to Rock ‘n’ Roll.’

She shared a series of snaps from the big day, including her with her birthday cake, doughnuts spelling out ‘HBD mom’ and her nine-year-old son Ace in a home-made robot outfit made from boxes and packaging with the message: ‘Best mom ever in the world. To mom from Ace,
I love you so much’.
Jessica, who also shares daughters Maxwell, 10, and Birdie Mae, three, with her husband Eric Johnson, has been open about her recovery from alcohol addiction in recent years.
She opened up last year about her decision to stop drinking four years earlier, sharing a snap of her at the height of her addiction.
Jessica told her followers at the time: ‘There is so much stigma around the word alcoholism or the label of an alcoholic.
‘The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self sabotage. The drinking wasn’t the issue. I was. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t respect my own power. Today I do.’
