Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson are ‘trying to figure out’ separation amid rumors of split
As a devoted fan of Jessica Simpson since her days on ‘Newlyweds’, I can’t help but feel a pang of concern as I read about the reported troubles in her marriage to Eric Johnson. Having grown up with them, their love story seemed like a fairy tale come true. Their journey, from young love to a family of five, has been a rollercoaster ride filled with triumphs and trials – much like the highs and lows of Jessica’s career.
According to reports, Jessica Simpson and her spouse, Eric Johnson, are currently separated and working on finding a resolution in their relationship.
Ashlee Simpson appeared to claim ignorance about any issues between the 44-year-old clothing designer and the 45-year-old former NFL player, but a source revealed to US Weekly that they are making efforts to arrange a separation in a manner that minimizes disruption for their children.
Another source told the outlet the Come On Over singer is ‘heartbroken,’ adding, ‘[It was] not an easy decision for her.’
Both sides have remained tight-lipped regarding details, yet Simpson may have suggested some disagreement while announcing her return to music.
She expressed on social media (on November 11) that her return (comeback) is a deeply personal matter, serving as an apology to herself for enduring situations that were unjustified.
Simpson is currently based in Nashville, working diligently on fresh tunes, whereas Johnson maintains their home responsibilities.

Both have been seen recently without their wedding rings.
Although some sources claim that divorce attorneys have been reached out to by individuals near the music producer within the last two months, confidants have revealed to DailyMail.com that she is determined to steer clear of a definitive separation in order to prioritize their shared children.
An insider claimed the couple agree that if they don’t make changes, their marriage will be over.
According to a source, Jessica aims to maintain her marriage and revitalize her relationship, as it’s lost its spark.
In 2014, I, a devoted fan, was overjoyed to witness the union of my beloved singer, who’s been sober for an incredible seven years, and that former NFL tight end we all adore.
They share daughters Maxwell, 12, and five-year-old Birdie Mae, and son Ace, 11.
Johnson appears to be a hands-on dad and has coached daughter Maxwell’s basketball team.
He is also a big supporter of Ace’s fledgling baseball career.




‘Eric has been an incredible father,’ the source said.
‘He has been there for her in her sobriety journey and has been able to deal with all her ups and downs. He has been her rock.’
People close to the situation report that the couple is determined to find a solution for the benefit of their kids, and they aren’t planning on taking any hasty actions during the holidays.
‘They are both aware that things need to change if they are to make it work.’
They’re currently experiencing a sluggish phase, and they’re both pondering over potential solutions to rejuvenate the situation. They’re considering whether counseling might help or if there are other alternatives.
‘They don’t want to make any rash decisions over the holidays,’ the source asserted.
According to the source, they’ve been facing some difficult times together. However, she is hoping to overcome these issues because she cares deeply about their children and continues to love him, and he feels the same way about her.
