Jessica Simpson's fans are dissecting her statement about her split from husband Eric Johnson, trying to understand what led to the end of their ten-year marriage. The singer, 44, announced on Monday that she and the former NFL player, 45, 'have been living separately' and are 'navigating a painful situation' in their marriage.

She added that the estranged pair are 'focusing on what is best' for their three children — Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, five — and 'appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family' in a statement to People. Fans were surprised that the Take My Breath Away singer released the statement independently, as Hollywood couples often prefer to issue joint statements.

Many closely scrutinized her statement, finding the phrase 'painful situation' particularly concerning, with one fan on Reddit labeling it 'ominous.'. Another fan of Simpson — who once referred to the retired athlete as her 'sexual shaman' — wrote, 'I don't like the way that sounds! I hope she's okay.'.
