Jessica Simpson is among the celebrities who have tested positive for coronavirus.
The 40-year-old "Open Book" author and fashion designer revealed on Monday that she'd received a positive result on a COVID-19 test at some point over the last year.
The star shared the cover image for her Amazon Original Stories essay "Take the Lead" on Instagram on Monday and with it, the news of her former diagnosis.
"We have all been handed challenges and fears in our lives that, at times, felt like too much to overcome. This past year has been especially intense for me and so many of you," she began in the post's caption. "I started writing this essay on the same day I received a positive test result for COVID-19."

"I felt strong, resilient, and God- inspired through my pen teaching me as I was sharing with you ways to get to the other side of fear," she continued.
The singer did not clarify when she was diagnosed with the novel virus, whether she experienced any symptoms or if it was passed on to any of her immediate family members.
Simpson shares three children -- Maxwell, 8, Ace, 7, and Birdie, 2 -- with her husband, former football pro Eric Johnson.
