Jessica Simpson and her husband, Eric Johnson, have been total relationship goals for years. The pair started dating in 2010 and were in no rush to wed, having welcomed their daughter, Maxwell, in 2012 and their son, Ace, in 2013. In July 2014, they took their relationship to the next level and married. For many fans, this couple was the end game (and Simpson was not shy about sharing just how much she loved her man).
Over the years, they have created a beautiful family, and in 2019, they welcomed their third and final child, Birdie. But could the relationship be over sooner than we expected? There have been rumors suggesting that Johnson and Simpson’s relationship is in trouble (and the reports only intensified recently when she was spotted wearing a tight leather dress and enjoying the company of musician Jack White. But what does this mean for the state of her marriage?
Is Jessica Simpson’s Marriage In Trouble?
According to Life&Style, the singer rarely wears her wedding ring in public and has been reevaluating many things. “Lately, Jessica has been reevaluating her happiness, her marriage, and her business empire, and she is ready to start fresh,” an insider told the outlet. “It’s pretty much over between her and Eric; it’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce.”
Fans of love don’t want to read reports like this, and the couple has been through a lot together, including Simpson’s journey to sobriety (she recently celebrated her seventh year of being sober). Despite the ups and downs, their relationship appeared to be strong. However, it is also worth noting that Simspon has been incredibly busy professionally. She is gearing up to release new music after 14 years, and her dedication to relaunching her career will likely take her away from home more.
Simpson is a successful businesswoman, but as she shifts direction to enter the new phase in her life, the reports suggest that there may no longer be a place in her future for her marriage.
This is particularly difficult to hear because Simpson and Johnson have three young children, so it’s not as though they only have themselves to think of in this situation. However, the insider claims they have tried to make their relationship work, and it’s simply not!
“He’s always been supportive and an amazing father,” they claim. “They tried couples counseling, which worked for a while, but then things went back to the way they were. They don’t spend nearly as much time together as they used to, and they’ve just grown apart.”
At the time of publication, there was no concrete evidence to suggest that there was trouble in paradise, but fans would have noticed that Simpson hadn’t posted her husband on Instagram for a long time (a change from earlier years). She has, however, posted several photos of herself and their kids. And while we are fully aware that social media is not always a true representation of real life, it doesn’t help to squash the seeds of doubt from our minds either.
