Jessica Simpson, 44, and her husband Eric Johnson, 45, have decided to separate after 10 years of marriage. They have three kids together. Jessica shared a statement with People magazine, saying, “Eric and I have been living apart, and it’s been a tough time for us. Our kids are our top priority, and we want to do what’s best for them. We appreciate all the love and support we’ve received and ask for privacy as we work through this as a family.”
This news comes after some hints on social media. Jessica posted a fun selfie on Instagram saying, “Life is short. SMILE while you still have teeth!” There were also reports that Eric was seen without his wedding ring in November, which matched with Jessica sharing a mysterious post about her music. She talked about recording new music in Nashville and said, “This comeback is personal. It’s a way for me to apologize to myself for putting up with things I shouldn’t have.”
The couple got married in July 2014 after dating for four years. They have two daughters, Maxwell (12) and Birdie (5), and one son, Ace (11). Jessica and Eric met in 2010 and tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Montecito, California, with their older kids as part of the wedding.
Before Eric, Jessica was married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006. Their reality show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, showed their life on TV and brought them into the spotlight. Eric Johnson was also married before to Keri D’Angelo from 2005 to 2010.
