Share:
Jessica Simpson's 100lb weight loss was supposedly a contributing factor in her split from her husband Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage, it is claimed. They were trailed by divorce rumors for months, fueled by the fact Simpson posted multiple social media pictures of herself without her wedding ring.

Finally, the 44-year-old songstress announced this Monday that she and the 45-year-old former NFL tight end had broken up. Johnson and Simpson tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed three children together - daughters Maxi, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11.

In a statement announcing the separation, Simpson said she and Johnson had been 'navigating a painful situation in our marriage,' adding: 'Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them.'. Now an insider has claimed that Jessica decided to leave Eric after her slimmed-down figure 'unleashed a whole new side of her personality,' via Page Six.
