This is not a feud. This is a no, ma\u2019am.<\/em><\/p>\n During a recent episode of Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/a>\u2019s Bless Your Hardt<\/a><\/em> podcast, his wife Amy Earnhardt<\/strong> shared a story from the late 2000s that\u2019s less celebrity drama and more playful girlfriend instinct.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a tale involving pop-turned-country star Jessica Simpson<\/a>, a NASCAR bus, and one unforgettable dream.<\/p>\n The moment goes back to 2008 or 2009, when Amy was dating Dale Jr. and visiting him at the racetrack.<\/p>\n She heard that Simpson was there too<\/a> \u2014 and at the time, she was genuinely excited. They were the same age. Both from Texas. Amy says she\u2019d always been a fan.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>Jessica Simpson\u2019s Heartbreak Anthem \u2018Fade\u2019 Shines a Light on an Ex\u2019s \u2018Empty Promises\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n So she asked Dale Jr. if someone could arrange for the \u201cIrresistible\u201d singer to stop by the bus so they could meet.<\/p>\n Dale Jr. gently shut the idea down<\/a> \u2014 and then showed Amy a clip from earlier that day.<\/p>\n In the interview, Simpson joked that she once had a dream where she married Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a treehouse.<\/p>\n Amy\u2019s response? Immediate clarity. Suddenly, meeting Jessica Simpson was no longer on the agenda.<\/p>\n Amy told the story with a laugh, explaining that after seeing the clip, she decided she didn\u2019t want Simpson anywhere near her \u201cman\u201d \u2014 not out of jealousy, but out of pure, absolutely not energy<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Jessica & Eric: The Divorce Isn\u2019t Final\u2026 and Maybe the Feelings Aren\u2019t Either<\/a><\/p>\n The moment became an inside joke that apparently stuck.<\/p>\n Amy also joked that she hasn\u2019t bought a Jessica Simpson shoe or bag since \u2014 teasing that she felt Simpson was \u201ctrying to fish my man.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n Again: said with humor, not heat.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dale\u00a0Jr. and Amy began dating in 2009, kept their relationship mostly private for years, and were married on New Year\u2019s Eve in 2016.<\/p>\n See 18 country stars who dated athletes, fellow country singers, actors and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhen Amy Was Actually a Fan<\/h3>\n
