Jessica Simpson hinted at personal struggles before confirming her split from Eric Johnson, sharing a message about what she ‘did not deserve’
Nashville: Jessica Simpson recently shared some pretty cryptic vibes on social media, hinting at personal issues just two months before she announced her split from Eric Johnson.
Back in November 2024, she posted some cool studio photos while teasing new music. But her caption really caught people’s attention. She mentioned it was an “apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
This got fans speculating about her marriage troubles. Things heated up when she was spotted without her wedding ring in late December, and soon after, she confirmed their separation.
In her statement, she said, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.” She emphasized that their kids come first and asked for privacy as they work through this tough time.
Jessica, 44, and Eric, 45, tied the knot in 2014 and have three kids together: Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie. Fans had been picking up on signs of trouble, especially when she stopped posting about Eric on social media.
Rumors about their split had been swirling for a while. A source mentioned they were trying to figure out their separation while keeping things stable for the kids. Plus, Eric was seen attending school events solo, which was unusual.
Just days after confirming their split, Jessica and Eric re-listed their massive home in Hidden Hills for nearly $18 million. Jessica moved to Nashville last year, while Eric stayed in L.A. with the kids for school.
Interestingly, back when she moved, Jessica had spoken highly of Eric, saying he understood her heart like no one else. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
