Jessica Simpson has been through many ups and downs, but dating Eric Johnson would definitely qualify as an up ... at least for the foreseeable future.

In addition to an easygoing romance with her ex-NFL player beau, she's got a new album in the works, a new clothing line and is just really happy.

"I'm really just comfortable, and it's just kind of a go with the flow, easy, relaxed situation that's making me very, very happy," Jessica Simpson said.

At Wednesday's Dior Beauty's private luncheon benefiting Operation Smile, she said juggling work and love has her looking at a very busy fall season.

Set to record a Christmas album and launch her Jessica Simpson Denim Collection, "The next couple months I don't even I have a second to breathe."

Throw in working for her favorite charity, Operation Smile, which raises money for reconstructive operations, and she's barely even got time to think.

Being in love should help with that at least.
