Jessica Simpson has revealed that she and her husband, Eric Johnson, are currently living apart as they navigate a challenging period in their marriage. After a decade together, they are facing a difficult situation, with Simpson stating, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.”
The couple tied the knot in 2014 after getting engaged in 2010, and they are parents to three children: Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 12; Ace Knute, 11; and Birdie Mae, 5. Simpson emphasized the importance of their children in their lives, saying, “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them.” She also expressed gratitude for the support they have received during this time and requested privacy as they work through their family circumstances.
While there is no official word yet on whether divorce is on the table, speculation about their relationship has intensified, especially after reports surfaced of them being seen without their wedding rings. In November, Simpson hinted at a personal comeback, stating, “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.” This message came in the context of her returning to the studio, fueling anticipation for new music.
In recent events, Simpson also faced the challenges posed by the wildfires in Los Angeles County, which led to the evacuation of her home in Hidden Hills. In an Instagram post, she shared an image of the smoke from the Kenneth fire surrounding her property, reflecting the struggles she has been encountering both in her personal life and the natural disasters affecting the area.
As Simpson navigates this difficult transition, her dedication to her children and her own personal growth are commendable and offer a hopeful perspective on moving forward in a positive direction.
