Life's a beach for second-time mom-to-be Jessica Simpson!

On Wednesday, Dec. 26 — one day after confirming her pregnancy with a Twitter photo of daughter Maxwell Drew sitting in the sand next to the words "Big Sis" — the 32-year-old Fashion Star mentor stepped out with fiance Eric Johnson in Hawaii. Showing off her lean legs in a short, colored caftan, the singer held a denim shirt in front of her belly to conceal any signs of a baby bump as she strolled hand-in-hand along the surf with her football player beau, 33.

As Us Weekly exclusively revealed in November, the couple are expecting their second child together, less than eight months after welcoming baby Maxwell into the world. Simpson had been tight-lipped about the pregnancy — which "definitely wasn't planned," a pal told Us — but she broke her silence this week, first on Twitter and then in a newly released Weight Watchers ad.

"This year is all about new beginnings for me," the star says in the commercial. "I lost over 50 pounds on Weight Watchers and did not have to be perfect to do it. Being healthy has become a part of who I am...which is great timing, because I'm having another baby."

And even though the little bundle-of-joy was a surprise, "I feel like I'm on top of the world," she gushes.

Eating for two!

Debuting the beginning of a baby bump, pregnant-again Jessica Simpson was among the bridesmaids at the Saturday Dec. 15 wedding of BFF CaCee Cobb and Scrubs actor Donald Faison, held at the L.A.-area home of Zach Braff.

Wearing a black gown and carrying a bouquet of red roses for the ceremony, the Fashion Star mentor, 32, was her usual bubbly self at the bash, according to a a witness.

"Jessica was very social, making the rounds and talking to everyone," the observer tells Us Weekly. Naturally, the expectant star and Weight Watchers spokeswoman "completely avoided the bar area."

But the mother to baby daughter Maxwell, 7 months, "wasn't shy about eating," the witness adds. "She reached out to the servers and was sampling everything that came by. She seemed to really like the chicken wings and had a few. Then she went for the fried risotto balls."

With her fiance Eric Johnson nearby, the former Dukes of Hazzard star had a drama-free reunion with her father, Joe, who arrived at the bash with her sister Ashlee. "After the ceremony Joe came right up to Jessica and gave her a big hug," says the witness of the family patriarch, who announced his divorce from Jessica's mother Tina, back in September. "Jessica talked to him for awhile and there didn't seem to be any problems."

(A pal told Us that there was initially some tension between Jessica and her father following the end of his 35-year marriage to Tina.)

The singer also took some pains to disguise her expanding pregnancy curves, the witness says. "She held her bouquet of red flowers in front of her stomach most of the time," says the observer. "She seemed bigger in the belly, but her dress was loose enough that her pregnancy wasn't too obvious."

No baggy sweaters at her BFF's wedding!

Jessica Simpson proudly flaunted her baby bump in a form-fitting bridesmaids dress at CaCee Cobb's wedding to Donald Faison Saturday, Dec. 15.

As Us Weekly exclusively confirmed Saturday, Simpson's former personal assistant, 35, tied the the knot with Faison, 38, at Scrubs costar's Zach Braff's home in California after a sixteen-month engagement.

Simpson, who is expecting her second child with fiance Eric Johnson, served as one of Cobb's bridesmaids in a long black dress and carried a bouquet of red roses. The pregnant singer walked down the aisle with the help of groomsman Braff, 37. Simpson's separated parents, Tina and Joe, fiance Johnson, and her younger sister, Ashlee Simpson, also attended the ceremony.

On Sunday, Simpson tweeted, "I was the maid of honor last night for my BF Cacee Cobb. She was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my life!" She also shared a photo of herself hiding her bump behind her bouquet while posing with Johnson.

The bride looked stunning in a strapless white gown with a beaded bodice and floral skirt. Cobb wore her hair down and accessorized the look with a simple bracelet.

Braff shared several photos on Twitter to document his pal's special day. In one shot, Braff posed with the newlyweds at the reception during dinner.

The actor also tweeted a behind-the-scenes look from a photo booth at the wedding. The bride and groom, wearing a space helmet, posed for a silly shot with a sign that said "True Love."

"Knots tied," Braff captioned the funny shot. "No I did not run around them with sparklers . . ."

Jessica Simpson knows how to make the most of a cheat day.

The Weight Watchers spokeswoman — expecting baby no. 2 — went all-out at a December 2 birthday lunch for BFF CaCee Cobb, 35.

"Jessica ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with onion rings," a fellow diner at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills tells Us Weekly.

As her friends toasted Cobb with cocktails, the mom to Maxwell, 7 months — who has yet to confirm her pregnancy — waved off her usual white sangria.

"Guess what?" she told her server, with a smile. "I'm drinking ginger ale!"

In anticipation of the baby's arrival, Simpson, 32, and fiance Eric Johnson, 33, are in nesting mode: A source says they just made an offer on a house in L.A.'s luxe Hidden Hills!
