Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson's Sweetest Family Moments Before Split

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson‘s life together had a little bit of everything.

After several months of anticipation, Jessica officially announced on January 13 that her relationship with her husband had concluded following a decade of marriage.

Jessica shared with People magazine on January 13 that she and Eric have been living apart while dealing with a challenging time in their marriage. The well-being of their children is paramount, and they are concentrating on what’s best for them. They express gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they’ve received and kindly ask for privacy at this time as they work through their situation together as a family.

Although the once-connected duo, parents to Maxwell (age 12), Ace (age 11), and Birdie (age 5), are choosing different paths in life now, having been together nearly 15 years, they experienced numerous heartwarming family moments throughout their relationship.

Jessica, who was once married to Nick Lachey, frequently shared glimpses into the life of her family of five, encompassing moments like the first day at school, family trips, and holidays.

For example, on Maxwell’s birthday in May 2023, there was a picture shared showing the family grinning, except for Birdie, who was crying while holding a slice of cake. Jessica humorously commented, “You can’t always get what you want.

Despite the challenges, it’s true that there were numerous victories. As Jessica put it in 2021 to celebrate 11 years with Eric, “Every year with Eric has been filled with unconditional, passionate, inspired, fascinating, supportive, beautiful, tempting, ravishing, exquisite, sublime, marvelous, honest, happy, adored, ideal, incomparable, powerful, mesmerizing love.

She went on, reflecting on their shared life, ‘As the years pass, the wonderful children we’ve been blessed with are growing up. Yet, in your presence, time seems to stand still. It provides us not only with the passage of moments but also with room to grow…to venture beyond boundaries, merely to love and be loved.’

And just a year ago, for her now-estranged husband’s birthday, Jessica penned a sweet tribute.

Eric celebrated his 44th birthday on September 15th, and his family showed him an outpouring of affection to mark the occasion. A post on September 19th, featuring a photo with their three kids, read: ‘My heart is almost overwhelmed by this Man; it barely feels like my own…We love you so much.’

Despite Eric not being a frequent user of Instagram, as Jessica pointed out in his birthday message, the ex-NFL player was frequently seen on the “Unstoppable” singer’s social media – that is, until he wasn’t anymore.

Prior to announcing their separation, Eric hadn’t been featured in Jessica’s posts since April, which was around the time she documented the family’s spring vacation and published a late collection of Easter photos.

Jessica’s absence from public view was particularly conspicuous given her active social life, leading spectators to speculate that the couple might have already parted ways prior to the announcement of their breakup.

Jessica’s absence stood out even more, considering her usual active social life. This led many fans to speculate that the couple might have parted ways much earlier than what was publicly known, prior to the announcement of their separation.

Beyond posting about weekends focused on self-care, Jessica also posted several pictures without her wedding ring, and more recently, she posted a mysterious message about love as she prepares to launch new music.

In a music room in Nashville, I shared interviews revealing my unique talent, as expressed in a recent post on November 11th. This return to the spotlight is deeply meaningful; it’s a form of self-forgiveness for enduring what I should never have had to experience.

A bittersweet end for a couple who seemed to take each other’s breath away.
