It’s been a whirlwind year for Jessica Simpson, who became engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson last November and recently confirmed that she’s expecting their first child.

“They’re really excited,” a source tells PEOPLE of the pregnancy. “It wasn’t something they planned per se, but it’s also not something they were trying to avoid.”

Still, it did cause the couple to put the brakes on planning their wedding, which will now probably happen after the baby is born.

“They’re both still really committed to getting married, and were both really into making decisions about what kind of wedding they wanted,” continues the source, who adds that the nuptials were originally set for this month.

“It’s just going to be at a later date now [because] they really want to enjoy this time in their lives.”

And despite tabloid reports that the couple is expecting a girl, another source confirms to PEOPLE that they don’t know the sex of their baby.

But whether they have to stock up on blue or pink onesies, “they’re both very family-oriented and having a baby is something they both wanted,” the first source says. “It’s wonderful!”

You can meet Jessica and Ashlee at the Belk in Crabtree Valley Mall, NC, on Saturday November 5 from 1pm!

“Jessica’s Anxiety: Twins!” reads the headline of the latest OK! story about Jessica Simpson, who recently announced she’s pregnant.

According to the tabloid, Simpson is “ridden with angst” and “concerned” because she “might be carrying twins — at least.”

The mag goes on to say Simpson has begun to “question whether or not she’ll be a good mom… have postpartum depression… get her body back,” and that was when she thought she was having just one baby.

Now with supposedly two babies, she’s “totally freaking out,” reports OK!, adding that when the “doctor said she might be having twins, she had to rethink everything.”

Maybe OK! should “rethink” how it fact checks.

Simpson is not “ridden with angst,” “concerned,” or “freaking out” about having twins because she is NOT carrying two babies.

A source close to Simpson confirms to Gossip Cop she’s not expecting twins.

“Eva Longoria is urging her pal, Jessica Simpson, to change her wedding date!” begins a breathless story from In Touch.

The mag says Longoria, who knows Simpson through their mutual hairstylist Ken Paves, believes her friend is making a huge mistake marrying Eric Johnson on November 11, 2011 (11-11-11), because she and Tony Parker tied the knot on July 7, 2007 (7-7-7), and are now divorced.

We’re not making this up.

The tab says Simpson “feels it’s a lucky day that will get the new marriage off to the perfect start,” but Longoria “couldn’t disagree more!”

A supposed “friend” of the “Desperate Housewives” actress claims, “Eva’s superstitious and feels her friend chose the wrong date,” noting, “She literally called Jessica and told her to pick another day to get married.”

Hold on.

Simpson’s alleged 11-11-11 wedding date is a rumor started by In Touch (which first wrongly claimed the nuptials were taking place on June 11, 2011), and the star’s rep has repeatedly told Gossip Cop that no date has been set.

In any case, a rep for Longoria tells Gossip Cop the tab’s tale is “completely untrue.”

One of the advantages of being a wealthy celebrity is that when you get pregnant, you can afford a “babymoon” — a deluxe vacation to get that last bit of “alone time” before taking on the hectic challenge of parenthood.

And so Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson treated themselves to a romantic getaway to Palm Springs from Oct. 19-21 — checking into the sumptuous Parker Palm Springs hotel, where Jessica was shooting an ad for her shoe line.

“He treated Jessica like a queen,” an insider tells OK!. “He ordered her breakfast in bed: blueberry pancakes with scrambled eggs and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Jessica loves room service — having whatever she wants delivered right to her bed so she can eat while watching her favorite shows. And she also got two massages in the room. Aside from working on her shoe shoot, she spent almost the whole time getting spa treatments.”

That is, when she wasn’t downing more chow. Jess and Eric dined on French cuisine and rich desserts at the Parker’s posh restaurant, and at Norma’s, the hotel’s more casual eatery.

“Jessica had French toast and an omelet, then sunned herself by the pool and sipped cucumber water,” the source tells OK!. “She had so much fun. She loves being pregnant because Eric is so incredibly doting.”

Late Monday, Jessica Simpson tweeted a photograph of (presumably) her feet dangling from a toilet, along with the words “Short girl problems.”

It was the type of amusing little moment we see more and more often with Twitter allowing celebrities the chance to share (certain) private experiences.

But then Gossip Cop read Us Weekly‘s take on the toilet tweet… and questions began to, um, swirl.

According to the report, Simpson ”encountered some difficulties in the ladies room at posh department store Bergdorf Goodman.”

To which we responded… huh?

Simpson was snapping photos in a department store bathroom?

And why would she be barefooted in a public restroom at all?

While Bergdorf may be “posh,” we were a little surprised that Simpson would do this. In fact, Simpson never said she was in the Bergdorf Goodman bathroom – all she sent was the pic and the “Short girl problems” joke.

After all, why would there be what appears to be a bidet in a department store restroom?

But there’s an even more important question than where the toilet is, and that’s: Who took the photo?

For that matter, maybe Simpson just found a random funny photo online and sent it out to followers.

Gossip Cop is trying to get to the, um, bottom of it all.

We’ll update with answers.

Hilarious!

Jessica Simpson — probably still pregnant — and fiancé Eric Johnson fit in work and play at the Parker Palm Springs hotel recently. Spies said Simpson was “rubbing” her “obvious baby bump” during a shoot for her shoe line’s new ad campaign.

The couple was spotted at Norma’s, where she dined on French toast and eggs and he noshed on an omelet, and hung out around the hotel pool. Simpson’s reps have yet to confirm that she is expecting.

So excited for a new JSC ad campaign!
