Jessica Simpson Talks about Baby Maxwell

Expecting "Fashion Star" mentor Jessica Simpson is struggling to manage home and work together. 

During an interview with People magazine, the mom opened up about her career, infant daughter Maxwell and motherhood.

"On some of the days of 'Fashion Star', I'm awake before [my daughter Maxwell] is awake, and I'm not home until she's already back to sleep. That's only happened about four times, but it makes the day awful. I definitely need to see my baby," she told People. "I get really sad if I don't get to see her. And then when Maxwell sees me, she just stares at me and touches my face. I can tell she missed me. That breaks my heart."

Maxwell was born on May 1 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Simpson said Maxwell's arrival has strengthen her relationship with fiance Eric Johnson.

"It is the sexiest thing in the world to watch how he handles [Maxwell]," she said. "We're both learning together, but it's fun because we both get to grow in our relationship together."

Apart from that, Simpson was not aware about her protective nature until she became a mom, but also admitted motherhood hasn't affected her unique sense of style.

"I find myself going for more sophisticated looks, but I do think that's kind of trendy right now - just a classier looking woman," she said. "I love to show off my curves, but being a mom, I guess I do it in a little bit more classy way, even though for Halloween I was a milkmaid - but there are moments."

The 32-year-old star announced expecting a second child on Christmas Day.
