Being a working mom has its ups and downs for Jessica Simpson .
The Fashion Star mentor, 32, who announced on Christmas Day that she is expecting her second child, recently told PEOPLE, “Motherhood is the best thing I’ve ever experienced – and the most challenging.”
Balancing her career with her personal life is one of Simpson’s struggles.
“On some of the days of Fashion Star, I’m awake before [my daughter Maxwell] is awake, and I’m not home until she’s already back to sleep,” she explains.
“That’s only happened about four times, but it makes the day awful. I definitely need to see my baby.”
“I get really sad if I don’t get to see her,” she continues. “And then when Maxwell sees me, she just stares at me and touches my face. I can tell she missed me. That breaks my heart.”
But at the end of the day, Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson “feel like we’ve done such a good job” parenting thus far.
Calling Johnson “a great father,” the starlet goes on to say, “It is the sexiest thing in the world to watch how he handles [Maxwell]. We’re both learning together, but it’s fun because we both get to grow in our relationship together.”
As a mom to her eight-month-old, Simpson says, “There are little things that you kind of obsess over. I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I’m already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be.”
Simpson’s personal style has also changed since becoming a parent.
“I find myself going for more sophisticated looks, butI do think that’s kind of trendy right now – just a classier looking woman,” she says. “I love to show off my curves, but being a mom, I guess I do it in a little bit more classy way, even though for Halloween I was a milkmaid – but there are moments.”
