Jessica Simpson: Still Holding Onto Eric Johnson After Breakup

Jessica Simpson wants to have Eric Johnson in her life forever.

A few weeks following their public separation announcement, the renowned singer known for her captivating voice, provided insights about her current status with her former spouse, who she was married to for ten years.

In a recent interview with People, published on February 19th, I shared a realization: I’ve grown significantly and can manage more than before. It seems that I am destined to care for many people throughout my life.

She remarked, “I’m not sure what causes my emotions to fluctuate so wildly, but I consider myself fortunate. After all, I have my kids, and Eric is still an essential aspect of my life – he remains a constant presence.

The previous pair, who have children named Maxwell (age 12), Ace (age 11), and Birdie (age 5) together, continue to co-parent effectively. During a period, they resided in a rental home near Nashville while Jessica was recording her upcoming EP titled “Nashville Canyon: Part 1” which is set for release on March 21.

She mentioned that she independently found this music, a five-track collection. “I’m grateful for Nashville,” she added, explaining that it served as a means for her to express herself confidently and assert ownership of who she is.

Jessica expressed about her new music, ‘Now that I’m a woman, I can express myself freely and that’s exactly the vibe you’ll get from Nashville Canyon.’

44-year-old’s observations arise subsequent to Ashlee Simpson, his little sister, expressing her immense pride in Jessica’s personal and professional advancements and stating that she is flourishing in high spirits following her separation.

Earlier this month, the singer of “Pieces of Me” shared with Us Weekly that she considers herself resilient and determined, stating, “We’re strong in our own ways, ladies.” She further added, “Life is about evolving and discovering who we are, wherever that journey may take us.

Jessica confirmed speculation that she and Eric had gone their separate ways back in January.

In a statement to TopMob News on January 13th, she shared that Eric and herself have been living apart while dealing with a difficult period in our marriage. However, the well-being of our kids is paramount, so we are concentrating on what will be most beneficial for them.

The ‘With You’ artist expressed their heartfelt thanks for the affection and encouragement they’ve received. Additionally, they requested some personal space while dealing with this family matter privately.

Prior to Jessica Simpson officially separating from her husband of ten years, Eric Johnson, on January 13, 2025, eagle-eyed social media users started noticing that he hadn’t been featured on her Instagram for quite some time.

Though the “With You” singer had previously posted birthday and anniversary tributes to Eric, she didn’t do so in 2024. Furthermore, Eric wasn’t present in the back-to-school photos Jessica shared of their children Maxwell, Drew, Ace Knute, and Birdie Mae in September.

In fact, the last time Eric was seen on one of Jessica’s posts was back in April 2024, when she posted pictures from their family’s spring break trip to Cabo.

Interestingly, Eric had previously maintained an Instagram account but chose to delete it at some point – something that Jessica once mentioned, “he isn’t an Instagram guy,” and last tagged him in a 2022 post.

As an ardent fan, I couldn’t help but wonder about the cryptic messages that the “Irresistible” artist has been sharing lately, particularly the one hinting at new music.

Reading between the lines of her Nov. 11 Instagram post, it seems she was referring to interviews conducted in her Nashville music room where she discovered her unique talent.

Her comeback, as she put it, appears to be a deeply personal journey, an apology to herself for enduring everything that wasn’t deserved.

As whispers about Eric and Jessica persisted, Ashlee Simpson, her sister, voiced her opinion on the rumors. When inquired about the validity of the gossip on November 11th, the “Pieces Of Me” singer responded to TMZ with a straightforward “No.

The following day, I, being an attentive observer, noticed that Eric was without his wedding ring in Los Angeles, a detail captured in images acquired by the media outlet.

In a similar fashion, photographs of Jessica have been captured where she’s not wearing her wedding ring. This includes an airport visit in November at Los Angeles International Airport and a cinema trip in December, as images and videos obtained by the Daily Mail show.

It wasn’t immediately noticed by fans, but it seems that the actress from “The Dukes of Hazzard” discreetly put her Californian home in Hidden Hills up for sale on January 11th for $17,900,000. This happened a few days before she made her separation from the athlete public.

In June 2023, Jessica and Eric were last spotted attending a public event together. This occasion was the unveiling of Bernie Taupin’s exhibit titled “Reflections” at the trendy Choice Contemporary art gallery in Los Angeles.
