"I swear, I will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!" said the singer, who also designs an eponymous fashion line and will appear as a mentor on TV's "Fashion Star."

"Eric is so athletic - we're gonna have this athletic girl and I won't even be able to take her shopping," she added.

The couple has decided on a name for their little one, Simpson also revealed.

On Wednesday, Simpson sent a tweet about her cover's debut:

The April issue of ELLE will hit newsstands on March 20.
