Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Announce Split After 10-Year Marriage

The divorce process started shortly after Simpson’s cryptic Instagram post, reports TMZ.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are divorcing after 10 years of marriage, having navigated what Simpson described in a statement to TMZ as a “painful situation.” The pair, who have been living separately, were recently photographed without their wedding bands. Simpson also talked about a “comeback” in a not-so-subtle Instagram post in November from Nashville, where she has been recording new music. The caption said her new work was an “apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.” TMZ reports that it was shortly after this post that someone associated with Simpson reached out to a Los Angeles divorce attorney. Johnson, a former NFL player, and singer-actress Simpson started dating in 2010, and got married in the summer of 2014. They have three children together, aged between 5 and 12. Simpson said in the statement, “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them.”
