Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Reportedly Call It Quits After 14 Years of Marriage

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have reportedly ended their 14-year marriage after trying to make it work through counseling, according to In Touch. “They tried couples counseling, which worked for a while,” a source revealed. However, the effort wasn’t enough to mend their relationship. “But then things went back to the way they were.

They don’t spend nearly as much time together as they used to. The spark is just gone,” the insider concluded. This marks Simpson’s second high-profile split. The fashion designer was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006. She tied the knot with Johnson, a retired football player, in July 2014. The couple shares three children: daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, and son Ace, 11.

Rumors of trouble in paradise began circulating last week when Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring during a casual outing with his parents. While the missing ring raised eyebrows, it’s not the first time the couple’s ringless appearances have sparked speculation about their relationship.

Back in February, another source told Life & Style that taking off their rings had become a recurring habit during disagreements. “When Jessica and Eric are fighting, the ring comes off,” the source explained, adding that Simpson justifies the gesture by saying, “It makes her feel like a fraud wearing her ring if they’re not getting along.”

The couple’s separation, if confirmed, marks the end of what was once seen as a loving partnership. Simpson has often spoken about her family in public, celebrating milestones and sharing heartfelt moments.

While neither Simpson nor Johnson has officially addressed the rumors, the reports suggest that despite their best efforts, they couldn’t rekindle the spark that initially brought them together. Fans of the couple now await an official statement as speculation continues to grow.
