Jessica Simpson reunited with estranged husband Eric Johnson for a ‘family first’ Thanksgiving

by

Jessica Simpson shared that she and ex-husband Eric Johnson came together for Thanksgiving.

Despite announcing their separation in January after ten years of marriage, the singer, 45, says the holidays are still focused on prioritizing family.

On Friday, the actress was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport, and reporters asked her if she had spent Thanksgiving with Johnson.

She confirmed he was the father of her children. They have three kids together: a thirteen-year-old daughter named Maxwell Drew, a twelve-year-old son named Ace Knute, and a six-year-old daughter named Birdie Mae.

Simpson shared that her family celebrated the holiday at her mother, Tina’s, home, where they watched the Cowboys game. Both sets of grandparents were also there.

She advises couples getting divorced to always remember their child shares traits with both parents. It’s crucial to speak respectfully about each other, especially in front of the child, so they can maintain a healthy perspective on the situation.

‘Unconditional love,’ she added. 

When asked who does the cooking on Thanksgiving, Simpson admitted that it was her mom. 

The popular performer shared that she’s incredibly busy with upcoming projects. She was heading to band practice and has performances scheduled, including a show at Foxwoods in Connecticut and a Christmas tree lighting event.

Simpson looked cozy in a cheetah print coat with a yellow t-shirt and dark jeans underneath.

She added height to the look with chunky black lace-up boots.

She had long, straight blonde hair and carried a large black tote bag.

The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that the former couple appears to be moving towards a divorce.

The newest disagreement revolves around their daughter, Maxwell, and if she should be permitted to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a star.

They separated last autumn after being married for ten years. Initially, they decided to try counseling and take some time apart to see if they could resolve their issues, rather than immediately divorce.

After a year of being separated, it seems their trial separation hasn’t improved their relationship, and those close to them believe a divorce is likely coming soon.

According to a source at Daily Mail, Jessica initially wanted to get help in hopes of saving her family.

After living independently for more than a year, she’s starting to enjoy her newfound freedom.

Although they haven’t resolved the issues that led to their separation, a new challenge has emerged: their oldest daughter’s desire to become an actress. This is yet another point of disagreement between them.

According to a source, Maxwell strongly resembles her mother and is the child most like Jessica. She really looks up to her mom and is eager to pursue a similar career path.

Jessica’s rep did not respond to a request for comment.

According to a source, Maxi – as her mother calls her – is a very gifted child. She enjoys singing and is quite creative. She’s also been showing an interest in her mother’s work, observing her while she designs clothes and jewelry.

Now that Jess has turned thirteen, she’s starting to explore the world of show business and is open to trying new things.

According to a source, Eric doesn’t want his children to pursue careers in Hollywood. He prefers they focus on school and athletics.

‘Max wants to do both,’ says the source. ‘She’s a good basketball player, and she loves to act.

Simpson and Johnson aren’t working to fix the problems in their marriage, and they’re growing distant as a result. They also disagree about whether Maxi should continue working as a performer.

People started talking about a possible reunion after they were seen sitting together on a flight from Burbank Airport in August.

When they arrived in Las Vegas, people noticed their children weren’t with them and immediately asked about their relationship. Jessica Simpson avoided answering directly, saying they were there to watch her sister, Ashlee Simpson, perform, as reported by TMZ.

Reports suggest a reconciliation between the couple is unlikely. They’ve listed their $18 million California home for sale and have each moved to separate homes in Nashville, allowing Simpson to focus on her music, according to a source for Daily Mail.

Nashville is currently a busy filming location with many TV shows and movies in production, which means Jessica and Maxi will have numerous opportunities.
