Jessica Simpson has confirmed the end of her marriage to Eric Johnson after 10 years, 

revealing that the couple had already been living separately for some time. 

The announcement came on January 13, 2025, as the singer and businesswoman shared a statement with *PEOPLE* magazine about their difficult decision to part ways. 

Despite the heartbreak, Simpson has expressed that she is focused on her children 

and is navigating this challenging chapter with them in mind. 

“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson shared. 

“Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

Simpson and Johnson, who married in 2014, share three children: 12-year-old daughter Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 11-year-old son Ace Knute, and 5-year-old daughter Birdie Mae. Sources close to the family revealed that the couple is committed to co-parenting, having already put a schedule in place for their children. “They have already figured out a new schedule for the kids,” an insider shared. “The kids will always come first. They are co-parenting. She’s grateful for her kids.”

While Simpson has been handling the separation with grace, a source revealed that she is also preparing for a new chapter in her career, which is giving her some excitement amid the difficult time. “Jess is doing OK,” the source said. “She’s excited about her new album, but separating is not anything she’s taken lightly.”

In the months leading up to the announcement, there were signs that Simpson and Johnson’s marriage was facing difficulties. In November 2024, Johnson, 45, was spotted walking in Los Angeles without his wedding ring, which fueled speculation about the state of their relationship. Simpson herself had not been wearing her rings for several months, a detail fans noticed as they followed her on social media. At the time, a source mentioned that the couple had “very much live[d] separate lives,” adding to the rumors that things were not as they seemed on the surface.

As Simpson prepares to return to the music scene, she has teased her musical comeback with fans. On social media, she shared photos from her recording sessions, writing that her upcoming music “comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.” These candid words suggest that Simpson’s music will reflect her emotional journey and personal growth during this challenging time in her life.

Simpson’s last Instagram post with Johnson was in September 2024, when she wished him a happy 44th birthday. Despite the separation, the couple maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their children. In August 2024, Simpson opened up to *PEOPLE* about her marriage, sharing how Johnson has always been supportive of her career and their family life. “I don’t find it hard to love anybody, but I have always thought that I was hard to love, that I was too much for people, or my schedule was too demanding,” she said. “He knows my heart and understands my heart more than anyone I’ve ever met in my life.” At that time, she added that their relationship always felt “easy,” and that they worked to keep the romance alive even while raising three young children.

As Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson embark on separate paths, both remain focused on the well-being of their children. Despite the sadness surrounding their separation, they are committed to maintaining a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship. Simpson’s fans continue to rally around her as she navigates this personal challenge, and many are eagerly awaiting her upcoming musical return, which promises to be a powerful and personal reflection of her journey.
