Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson ‘Living Separately’ Amid Marriage Struggles

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are reportedly living apart after 14 years of marriage, though the star has yet to make a final decision about their relationship. A source told Life & Style that while the couple is currently separated, Simpson remains undecided about the future of her marriage to the former NFL player.

“Jessica hasn’t made any decisions,” the insider revealed. “She’s still researching her options and talking to her friends, especially the ones with kids that have been through a divorce.” Simpson and Johnson, who tied the knot in 2014, share three children: Maxwell, 11, Ace, 10, and Birdie, 5.

The source emphasized that Simpson is hesitant to take drastic steps. “It’s really not something she wants to do,” the source explained. “She’s still figuring things out.” Reflecting on the singer’s previous marriage to Nick Lachey, the insider pointed out how difficult that divorce was for Simpson.

“Her divorce from Nick was beyond tough, and there were no kids involved, so she knows this will be 10 times worse.” Simpson and Lachey, former reality TV stars and pop icons of the early 2000s, split in 2005 after three years of marriage.

Their high-profile breakup played out in the public eye, leaving Simpson determined to approach her current struggles with more care, particularly for the well-being of her children. Another source previously noted that Simpson has been in a reflective phase, “Lately, Jessica has been reevaluating her happiness, her marriage, and her business empire.”

As rumors about her marriage circulate, Simpson appears focused on maintaining balance while navigating her personal challenges. Known for her candidness, the singer-turned-entrepreneur has often shared insights about her life, career, and relationships.

For now, Simpson is taking her time, leaning on her friends and support system while considering what’s best for her and her family. While no official announcement has been made, the couple’s separation has sparked speculation about whether they will ultimately reconcile or move toward divorce.

As the source shared, “Jessica is determined to make the right decision, but she knows it’s not an easy path.”
