Jessica Simpson has been rumored to be on the verge of divorce for some time.
Late last winter, reports said Jessica Simpson was determined to fix her wedding. There were indications that she and her husband Eric Johnson were having problems.
The signs have not gone away. Not permanently.
Amid the latest marital red flags, a new report says Jessica Simpson has basically ended her marriage. And then, there’s that cryptic post that made waves this week…
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s marriage may be on its last legs…if there’s anything left in it
Recently Jessica Simpson is once again living without her wedding ring. Additionally, just last month, she publicly ignored husband Eric Johnson’s birthday instead of posting the usual tribute.
According to a new report from weekly in touchThe neglect of Jessica Simpson is no coincidence. A marriage of 10 years is about to end.
“It’s pretty much over,” an insider said of the state of her marriage. “It’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce.”
On July 5, 2014, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson married. The two were already in a relationship for years, welcoming daughter Maxwell Drew in 2012 and son Ace Knute in 2013.
(Jessica Simpson also gave birth to daughter Birdie Mae in 2019.)
In the past, including 2023, Jessica Simpson has honored Eric Johnson on his birthday, September 15. But not this year.
What did Jessica Simpson post instead?
Jessica Simpson didn’t take a day off from social media for husband Eric Johnson’s birthday in September. Instead, she shared a video clip on her Instagram Story in which a preacher talked about the value of forgiveness, which is valued in Christianity.
Sometimes, people – even public figures – don’t publicly acknowledge birthdays. For celebrities, they usually know that people may wonder why. There may be a deliberate choice to celebrate the person in real life rather than performing on social media.
But for Jessica Simpson to ignore Eric Johnson’s birthday and post a vague video about an apology… that felt like a message to many people. And it was not alone.
Where’s your ring, girl?!
Another big issue is that Jessica Simpson has been going ringless for a while now. As far as the public knows, she last wore her wedding ring in January 2024. (She was filming a promotional video for Chicken of the Sea Tuna; you’ve got to appreciate someone who can laugh at her most famously outrageous moment.)
As we previously reported, insiders have alleged that “the ring goes off” when Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are fighting. It’s not out of pettiness or emotional blackmail – but she feels like she’s lying if she wears it when things are bad.
Jessica didn’t mention Eric in her 2024 Valentine’s Day post. And he hasn’t appeared on her Instagram since April, and that was a photo of her holding Birdie during a family photo.
New music, big confession?
And finally, the icing on the cake. Just before the holidays in November 2024, Jessica made a big announcement on her Instagram — new music!
Yes, it’s been years since he dropped anything new, but it looks like he’s finally ready to bless ears again. In a post announcing her comeback, she shared a caption that piqued the interest of many.
“Interview in my Nashville music room where I unleash my singular magic,” Jessica wrote alongside a series of her stunning photos.
She added, “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for going through something I didn’t deserve.”
What. Does. He. Meaning?! Looks like we’ll find out soon!
How does Eric Johnson feel about all this?
In a report dated October 18 lifestyle“Eric has this because of his crazy temper,” an insider alleged. And Jessica feels that the romance is gone in their marriage. Everyone is wondering how long they can go on like this.
The insider claimed: “Eric has been doing his thing for longer than anyone knows.” The source also said he had been keeping his distance from Jessica “for over a year.”
Although it’s obviously a shame if two people who once loved each other can’t be with each other. That said, if they are unhappy in their marriage and they can’t fix it, they don’t need to torture themselves or each other. How long until they actually leave it?
