The Abilene, Texas native, who is also mom to son Ace, eight, and daughter Birdie, three, with husband Eric Johnson, 42, who she said ‘just recently’ served as coach to a basketball team both North and Maxwell were on.
Simpson said that it’s ‘fun’ to reside in the same neighborhood as Kardashian, 41, and her children North, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, with ex Kanye West, 44.
She said that the local proximity ‘makes it easy’ for North and Maxwell to be good friends, and that the Kardashian family have remained ‘the same’ amid their massive fame from reality TV.
‘I’m like, “I don’t know how y’all could do this all the time,”‘ said Simpson, who noted she ‘could only last three seasons’ on her former MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica with ex-husband Nick Lachey, 48.

Simpson said the Kardashians are ‘so open and they’ve always remained the same,’ adding, ‘That’s really hard to do, and they’re powerhouses.’
The Love Guru actress told the outlet that she thinks the reality show format has gotten progressively ‘easier’ for stars over the years since her stint on Newlyweds between 2003 and 2005.
‘It was one of the first, and so it was [cameras] following me all day long from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep unless I kicked them out, but I always felt bad,’ Simpson said. ‘I don’t think that reality shows are set up like that nowadays.
‘I think they have shooting days and that type of thing.’
Simpson spoke with the outlet in support of her new deal with the allergy relief product Flonase, which she said helps her kids enjoy an active lifestyle outdoors.
‘We used the product … living out in Los Angeles with the wildfires, climate change, all that stuff,’ Simpson said. ‘It’s insane. A lot of people think that they’re sick, but it’s actually allergies. So I wanted to be able to bring awareness to that and that it’s OK for kids.
‘What’s awesome about Flonase is that they made it for children and that way they can play outside and be happy. And they’re not just on video games all day long. They’re such troupers.’
