(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Simpson has denied that she is pregnant.

The 31-year-old singer turned fashion mogul sparked rumours she was expecting a baby when unflattering photographs were published of her this week showing a rounded stomach.

But Jessica has hit back at the claims and issued a statement via her publicist.

"She is not pregnant," her spokesperson told Hollywood Life.

Jessica, who is engaged to Eric Johnson, has made no secret of her desire to have children one day.

"I definitely see myself having a family with Eric, so that's exciting to think about," she has said.

The star is currently busy planning her upcoming nuptials, running her billion-dollar fashion empire, and preparing a role in upcoming reality series Fashion Star where she will be a mentor to the contestants as they compete in challenges to receive funding to launch their own brands.

Jessica's ex-husband Nick Lachey married Vanessa Minnillo in an intimate wedding on Necker Island last Friday. (C) Cover Media
