Jessica Simpson has announced her separation from her husband, Eric Johnson, after a decade of marriage. In a statement to PEOPLE, the singer and actress revealed that they have been living apart while navigating a difficult period in their relationship. She emphasized that their children remain the priority and that they are focused on what is best for them during this time.
Jessica expressed gratitude for the support they have received, requesting privacy as they work through their challenges as a family. The announcement follows a sighting of Eric without his wedding ring in November 2024, coinciding with Jessica’s announcement of her music comeback, which she described as a personal apology to herself for enduring what she felt she didnβt deserve.
A source close to the couple confirmed that Jessica and Eric have been leading separate lives for some time. Despite previous public statements about their strong relationship, including Jessica’s 2023 comment about their commitment to romance while raising three children, the couple’s situation has now shifted.
Jessica had previously shared in 2022 that communication was key to their bond, expressing that their relationship had only grown stronger over time.
