On November 11, 2024, Simpson posted a cryptic message on Instagram suggesting personal struggles, which she described as an apology to herself for enduring undeserved situations.

Reports suggest that someone close to Simpson reached out to a divorce attorney, indicating her unhappiness, although she has not initiated any legal proceedings herself.

As of now, it remains unclear if divorce proceedings will be initiated, and Simpson's representative has not provided further comments on the matter.

Sources indicate that the couple is leading 'separate lives,' with Simpson spending significant time in Nashville to focus on her music career, while Johnson remains in Los Angeles with their children.

She is reportedly doing well and is working on new music inspired by her heartbreak, describing the creative process as therapeutic and empowering.

Even amidst their separation, Simpson and Johnson plan to spend the holidays together as a family, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting.

Jessica's sister, Ashlee Simpson, has previously denied rumors of a potential divorce, reflecting the sensitivity surrounding the couple's situation.

Prior to their current struggles, Simpson praised Johnson for his support of her career and described their relationship as easy and romantic, despite the challenges of parenting.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson, who married in 2014 after four years of dating, are reportedly living separately while prioritizing their three children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5.

Despite the challenges, Simpson's recent posts promote positivity, and she has expressed excitement about her upcoming album, indicating that the separation is a serious matter for her.

In November 2024, Simpson hinted at a musical comeback, sharing her journey through social media and expressing a desire to reconnect with her artistic self.

Speculation about their relationship troubles arose when both were seen without their wedding rings in late 2023 and throughout 2024, alongside Simpson's social media hints.
