The singer and her husband share three children. Jessica Simpson has spoken out about the “painful” reality of her split from Eric Johnson, after 10 years of marriage. The 44-year-old actor confirmed that she and Johnson have broken up in a new statement shared on Monday (January 13) night. She explained that amid the challenges of their separation, she and her ex are focused on their children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, five.
Simpson sparked speculation in November that she was getting divorced with a cryptic post on social media. “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” she wrote on Instagram. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”.
“In years past, Jess always attended events at the school either solo or with Eric,” a source told PageSix. “Never Eric alone. But recently it’s just been Eric. As you can imagine, there’s been a lot of gossip among the parents.”. Simpson and Johnson started dating in 2010, before tying the knot in 2014.
In 2023, Simpson opened up about moving between Tennessee and Hollywood for the sake of her career and children. She also recalled a “hilarious experience” while renting a house in Nashville with her family. Simpson was previously married to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2005.
