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🔥🔥.”

In past interviews, Jessica has spoken about how much she learns from her daughter, who is now 13. Back in November 2023, she told WWD that Maxwell, then 11, had already begun exploring ideas about personal growth.

“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.”

According to Jessica, her daughter clarified, “Mom, no, it’s your inner glow and how to glow up everything in your life.” She described the moment as a teaching experience, calling it a “beautiful concept,” but also reminding her daughter, “Just know, those are all filters.”

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.

When asked about her responsibilities, Jessica mentioned, “She’s actually really good with the dogs. I feel like, she really likes them when they’re small.” Maxwell used the opportunity to ask for a bigger dog, prompting her mom to respond, “Like, how big? I’ll let you pick up the poop.”

The lighthearted exchange continued when Maxwell mentioned that she wanted an Irish Wolfhound. Jessica quipped, “That’s worse,” before laughing.

Maxwell then pulled out her phone to show both her mom and the interviewer a picture of the breed, which Cassie described as a “strategic” move. The host joked that Jessica might now be obligated to say yes, since the moment had been captured on camera.

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.
