Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are calling it quits after 14 years together, 10 of which they spent married. The couple, who share three school-aged children, have decided to separate, with Jessica confirming the news in a statement released Monday night. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We appreciate privacy, right now, as we work through this as a family,” she shared.
The news doesn’t come as a total shock to fans. Late last year, eagle-eyed followers noticed Eric had stopped wearing his wedding band. Around the same time, Jessica celebrated seven years of sobriety and teased a personal comeback in music. In an Instagram post from her Nashville music room, she wrote, “This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
