Jessica Simpson’s Pick for Sexiest Man Alive at 2025 VMAs Revealed
As the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards took place, Jessica Simpson, known for her powerhouse vocals and stunning style, shared her thoughts on who should be crowned Sexiest Man Alive this year. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet, the 45-year-old singer and fashion designer playfully teased, “I mean, there are a lot of people who are sexy.”
Following her separation announcement from ex-husband Eric Johnson earlier in the year after a decade of marriage, Simpson jokingly declared, “I’m single, so everybody’s sexy right now!” She then proceeded to name her top contenders for the coveted title, including Charlie Hunnam, James Franco, and Jamie Dornan.
Expressing her admiration for the male talent in the industry, Simpson remarked, “There are a lot of hotties… There are a lot of cute guys out there.” Despite her own relationship status, the star seemed to appreciate the allure of various Hollywood heartthrobs.
Simpson’s personal life has been under the spotlight, especially after her separation from Johnson at the beginning of the year. The couple, who got married in 2014 after meeting through a mutual friend in 2010, share three children – daughters Maxwell “Maxi” Drew and Birdie Mae, as well as son Ace Knute.
In a heartwarming display of family support, Simpson and Johnson were seen together in Las Vegas in August, attending a performance by Jessica’s sister, Ashlee Simpson. Reflecting on the experience, Jessica expressed immense pride in her younger sister’s accomplishments, emphasizing their close bond and shared musical interests.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of the VMAs, Simpson hinted at a potential collaboration with Ashlee in the music industry, suggesting that their voices harmonize well together.

As the star-studded event unfolded, Simpson’s lighthearted comments on the Sexiest Man Alive added a touch of playful banter to the evening, offering a glimpse into her spirited personality.
