Before fans flooded the 44-year-old singer’s latest post with comments about her look-alike eldest daughter, the latter had already been making appearances — and impressions — alongside her mom in earlier public moments.
Jessica Simpson recently shared a radiant snapshot with her 13-year-old daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, sparking a buzz on social media.
The Instagram post marked a special milestone for the teenager and was captioned, “Let the good times roll into the 7th grade my beautiful Maxwell Drew 🎓✨💛.”
In the sunlit photo, both mother and daughter smiled brightly for the camera. Jessica wore large hoop earrings, layered necklaces, and a strappy black top, while Maxwell opted for a light lavender off-shoulder outfit.
With their long blonde hair and strikingly similar features, the duo appeared more like siblings than parent and child — a detail not lost on many fans.
The post quickly gathered attention online, with many followers expressing admiration for the mother-daughter pair. One person wrote, “Aww congratulations Maxwell 🙌 Beauty and brains like mom 👸🏼[sic].” Another added, “Yay! Love her name and the Blue Steel vibes too! 🎓💜💙[sic].”
Several commenters noted how quickly Maxwell has grown and how much she resembles her mother. One fan shared, “Awe Maxwell!! It’s been so beautiful seeing her sprout through the years 💙[sic].”
Many fans were taken aback by the striking resemblance between Jessica and her daughter. One expressed, “Which one is the daughter??” while another commented, “Awwww!! You look like sisters!! ♥️♥️.” Someone else remarked, “cute picture! She’s your twin [sic].”
Others chimed in to celebrate Maxwell’s milestone. One person divulged, “7th grade??? That’s a super exciting time of life [sic]!” Another included a lighthearted note, “Imagine having Jessica Simpson as your mom🔥🔥.”
“She is very much into the glow-up stuff, how to better yourself,” Jessica explained. “I had to have her explain it to me the other day, because I thought it was literally putting highlighter on her cheeks.”
Maxwell’s personality and interests were also on full display during an appearance with her mom in August 2023. The two were interviewed by Entertainment Tonight’s Cassie DiLaura during PetSafe’s celebration of International Dog Day. Maxwell made an unexpected but welcome interruption during the segment to talk to her mom about getting another pet.
When Cassie noted the striking resemblance between mother and daughter, calling Maxwell a “spitting image” of Jessica, the singer agreed and said, “It’s honestly like, looking at yourself younger.”
Their interaction quickly turned to Maxwell’s love for animals. Jessica shared that her daughter had been asking for a dog every year. “Maxwell asked for a dog every Christmas and Santa gets the letter, gets the wishes, and she has had eight years of getting dogs, so we have eight dogs,” she revealed.
The lighthearted exchange continued when Maxwell mentioned that she wanted an Irish Wolfhound. Jessica quipped, “That’s worse,” before laughing.
The recent photo and past interviews highlight the close bond between Jessica Simpson and her daughter Maxwell, whose personality, interests, and appearance continue to draw admiration from fans and media alike.
