Jessica Simpson is reflecting on the last time she started over.
20 years following the divorce filing by the now-44-year-old singer famously known as “Irresistible,” she revealed how she managed to start anew after the split at age 25, and interestingly, she finds similarities in this process with her current separation from Eric Johnson.
Jessica reflected to her younger sibling Ashlee Simpson Ross, during a shared interview on The Cut in February, “Wow, I’m 25 years old! With the freshness of a new life post-divorce, I felt an exciting sense of freedom. I was rediscovering myself from scratch.
Through a high-profile split with the former lead singer of 98 Degrees (who Jessica was famously paired with on the hit reality show “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica”), the fashion designer underscored that her immediate family, including the “Pieces of Me” singer, continued to be her pillar of strength.
Jessica mentioned that despite various divorces within the family, including her own, we always remained closely knit. She admitted to pretending to be okay before truly feeling that way more often than not.
In the early 2000s, her relationship with Nick was a significant part of pop culture, and she confessed that her split with Eric – the father of her children Maxwell (age 12), Ace (age 11), and Birdie (age 5) – feels like a replay of past events.
As a lifestyle guide, I’ve uncovered numerous misconceptions that shaped my past way of life, prompting another purge of sorts. Now, I find myself back to square one, much like the adventurous spirit of my 25-year-old self, navigating through life independently and freely exploring the world around me.
To clarify, the actress who played a leading role in “Dukes of Hazzard” announced her separation from her NFL veteran husband in January, marking the end of their 10-year marriage. However, she emphasized that her sister Ashlee (married to Evan Ross) and parents Tina Simpson and Joe Simpson have been instrumental in offering her the support needed to face life’s challenges.
She went on to say, “I trust myself and believe that whatever happens is guided by a higher power when we let go of control. This belief, rooted in our upbringing and faith, helps us find our inner fortitude without fail.
Previously, Jessica shared with People that Eric would forever remain a significant part of her life, despite their romantic relationship potentially ending.

Before Jessica Simpson officially separated from her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, in January 2025, sharp-eyed social media users had already noticed his absence from her Instagram posts for a considerable period.
Though the “With You” singer had posted birthday and anniversary tributes to Eric in previous years, she skipped doing so in 2024. Furthermore, he was absent from the back-to-school photos Jessica shared of their children Maxwell, Drew, Ace Knute, and Birdie Mae in September.
Interestingly, Eric’s last appearance in one of Jessica’s posts was from their family’s spring break trip to Cabo, back in April. It’s worth noting that Eric used to have an Instagram account but he deactivated it some time ago—with Jessica having previously mentioned, “he ain’t an Instagram guy,” and last tagging him in a 2022 post.
Fans had some queries about the mysterious posts that the artist “Irresistible” shared recently, such as one hinting at new music.
In a November 11 Instagram post, she penned, “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I discovered my unique talent.”
“This return is a personal matter, it’s an apology to myself for enduring everything that wasn’t rightfully mine.
In response to persistent rumors linking Eric and Jessica, Ashlee Simpson, her sister, shared her thoughts on the speculation. When queried by TMZ on November 11 about the validity of the gossip, the artist behind “Pieces Of Me” succinctly denied it, saying, “No.
However, the following day, pictures emerged showing Eric sans his wedding ring in Los Angeles, as reported by the media outlet.
In a similar fashion, photographs show that Jessica was not wearing her wedding ring, such as during a visit to Los Angeles International Airport in November, as well as a cinema trip in December, as captured in pictures and videos obtained by the Daily Mail.
It seems that without immediate notice, the actress from “The Dukes of Hazzard” discreetly put her house in Hidden Hills, California up for sale on January 11, priced at $17,900,000. This listing was made only a few days prior to her announcement of separation from the athlete.
In June 2023, Jessica and Eric were last seen together at a public event, specifically attending the inauguration of Bernie Taupin’s exhibit titled “Reflections” held at the Choice Contemporary fine art gallery in Los Angeles.
