Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Split After a Decade of Marriage

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have officially ended their marriage after ten years together, TMZ has confirmed.

In a statement, Simpson shared, “Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

The couple began their relationship in 2010, getting engaged later that year, and tied the knot in 2014. They share three children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5.

This marks Simpson's second marriage, following her highly publicized union with Nick Lachey in the early 2000s, which ended in 2006. Johnson was previously married to Keri D’Angelo.

Speculation about the state of their relationship had grown in recent months, particularly after both were seen without their wedding rings. In November, Simpson hinted at personal challenges in a social media post, describing a “comeback” as an “apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

Reports also surfaced that someone within Simpson’s circle had contacted a Los Angeles divorce attorney, citing her dissatisfaction in the marriage, although no formal action was confirmed at the time.

The split comes amid Simpson’s busy schedule, which has included splitting her time between Los Angeles and Nashville for music recording. In a 2023 interview with People, she mentioned spending significant time away from her family while pursuing her career.

Simpson has also faced public scrutiny over her personal health, including significant weight fluctuations and her ongoing sobriety, which she has maintained for seven years.

This separation marks the end of a decade-long chapter for the couple as they prioritize co-parenting their children and navigating the next phase of their lives.
