Singer-turned-businesswoman Jessica Simpson has credited her husband Eric Johnson for making her "stronger than ever".

Simpson says that her husband has boosted her with body confidence, following her dramatic weight gain after she gave birth to children Maxwell, two, and 14-month-old son, Ace, in quick succession, reports contactmusic.com.

In an open letter published in Glamour magazine, the 34-year-old wrote: "Eric has seen me at every size, and he loves me no matter what. Eric was so supportive and challenged me to accept my insecurities and focus on what truly matters

. "I feel stronger than ever, and Eric's unconditional love has been a reminder of the love I should give myself. My family has been by my side in every way imaginable - through the highest highs and the lowest lows.

"I believe that because I've nurtured and cherished these relationships, my marriage and the relationship I have with myself are strengthened daily."

The duo got married earlier this year.
