Congratulations are in order! As originally reported by UsMagazine.com, Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson just celebrated the seven-year anniversary of their celebrity relationship. The fashion designer marked the special occasion by posting a sweet family picture on Instagram, captioning it, “7 years, 2 kids, and a whole lotta love later.” The celebrity couple are proud parents to Maxwell Drew, 5, and Ace Knute, 3 — and they don’t plan on having any more kids.

We can all risk becoming complacent at points in our lives. Therefore, my final tip to share on keeping the man you desire is to become and to remain a multi-faceted woman. This is a woman who is interesting, well-rounded, and has a life beyond the man or children. A big complaint I hear from men in my practice is that women lose their curiosity and sense of adventure about life and become creatures of habit who are addicted to comfort. I want you to know that you can’t assume your man will remain attracted to you if you sink into this situation.
One of my biggest pieces of relationship advice: You must work to keep things fiery and fun!
In celebrity news, UsMagazine.com has reported that The Bachelorette has kicked off its new season with a premier episode where Rachel Lindsay met her suitors and focused on finding love and being herself.

Lindsay commented later, “I was not ready for it, did not want to kiss anybody tonight, but boy did I love it!” Lindsay started the night with 30 guys, but she cut eight in the rose ceremony at the end of the episode. 21 more cuts to go until she finds her ultimate love!

This is always a controversial subject, especially in today’s modern “swipe dating.” 93 percent of the people that go out on a date meet on Bumble, Tinder, Hinge or Match will go home that night and literally get back online to see whether or not there’s somebody else that’s better. Somebody that might be cuter. Somebody that might have a better body. These online dating services are a brilliant marketing ploy to get people to think that there’s a huge paradox of choice. It’s literally like going on Amazon, but instead you get to look at all the men and women out on the market. You see, by getting on all these devices constantly, there’s no reason to ever settle for somebody that’s awesome. So we continually get on this treadmill hoping that there’s something better. I personally have been a victim of this as well. I’ve been single for four years, and even that’s with all my knowledge in the dating field as a relationship expert. I have definitely had my share of going out with somebody and then going home and swiping to see if she is out there. Whatever the version of she or he is, you know that they might be out there, because every day the inventory is changing. Just like your favorite supermarket. Why buy a mushy avocado when you can go buy a brand new one the very next day?

As someone who lives in New York City, I can say with full enthusiasm that it is one of the greatest cities in the world. The food! The culture! The diversity!
