On July 1, 2025, Jessica Simpson posted a series of photos celebrating her son's 12th birthday, but one image from their Six Flags trip stood out. While the moment was meant to spotlight the birthday boy, Ace Knute Johnson, it was his six-year-old sister Birdie Mae Johnson's face that quickly stole attention online.

Other photos featured a trip to Six Flags, but it was a group photo with Jessica, Ace, Birdie, and 13-year-old Maxwell Drew Johnson — all of whom she shares with former NFL player Eric Johnson— that drew the most attention.

While the older two children smiled brightly, Birdie had a big frown. The little girl was standing right in front of her mother with a stance that also seemed like she was peeved. Although she was holding souvenirs from the trip, her mood was clear.
