<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Singer </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jessica-simpson"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jessica Simpson</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> announced she’s </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/divorce"><span style="font-weight: 400;">divorcing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> her husband of ten years, former </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NFL player</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Eric Johnson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 44-year-old singer and Johnson, 45, share three children, daughters Maxwell &#8220;Maxi&#8221; Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, 5, and son Ace Knute, 11.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,&#8221; Simpson said in a statement to </span><a href="https://people.com/jessica-simpson-and-husband-eric-johnson-split-8773988"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outlet noted that Johnson was seen without his wedding ring in November. Around the same time, Simpson posted photos of herself in a recording studio, which sparked rumors due to the caption she posted on Instagram.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,&#8221; the singer wrote at the time. &#8220;This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simpson was previously married to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey from 2002 until 2005. She met Johnson in 2010 and was engaged within six months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simpson said in August 2023 that she had thought herself unloveable before Johnson came along. &#8220;I don&#8217;t find it hard to love anybody, but I have always thought that I was hard to love, that I was too much for people, or my schedule was too demanding,&#8221; she </span><a href="https://people.com/jessica-simpson-hard-to-love-until-she-met-eric-johnson-who-embraces-her-career-exclusive-7963512"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> People at the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;He knows my heart and understands my heart more than anyone I&#8217;ve ever met in my life,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I knew the instant we met that I could see my future in his eyes and with a lot of people, I hope for a future in their eyes, but with Eric, I saw it.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The singer also discussed how the couple tried to keep the romance alive even during the stress of raising children, explaining how she believed he was &#8220;such a good dad and a good man.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jessica-simpson-responds-to-claims-her-weight-loss-due-to-ozempic"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jessica Simpson</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> hit back at a claim she’s started drinking after she wrote a post on social media celebrating her son’s birthday following nearly six years of sobriety.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday, the 44-year-old singer posted a picture on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-SjQtROrOn/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of her son on his 11th birthday and wrote, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m gonna be a braggin’ Mom for a moment and just say that I have the kindest, most handsome 11yr old son on the planet.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Fun fact: we both find lucky pennies randomly every other week and use them to WIN my scratchers together,” she added. “Mama loves you Ace Knute Johnson- OH SO VERY MUCH!!!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the comments, someone responded in all caps, “Stop Drinking.” Simpson saw the comment and made it clear nothing could be further from the truth, </span><a href="https://people.com/jessica-simpson-addresses-claim-drinking-alcohol-again-8690839"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reported.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I haven’t wanted or touched alcohol since October 2017 and it has been the best decision I’ve made for myself and for my family,” Simpson wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Thank you for your concern, but you have me very misunderstood,” she added. “Sending love your way.”</span></p>

</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The person who made the comment apologized and backtracked for what they said, the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jessica-simpson-says-shes-on-a-budget-now-after-her-credit-card-got-denied-at-taco-bell"><span style="font-weight: 400;">superstar singer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has been very open about her personal struggles with everything from weight loss to sobriety, as noted in her 2020 memoir “</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Open-Book-Jessica-Simpson/dp/0062899961"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Book</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In November 2021, the “Sweetest Sin” hitmaker celebrated her four years of sobriety with an image she posted on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVvfEL1rRIV/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=f814889f-2e06-477d-827f-ef99d31b4438"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the day she said she would allow herself “to take back” her &#8220;light.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This person in the early morning of Nov 1, 2017 is an unrecognizable version of myself,” she captioned the post of the candid image. “I had so much self discovery to unlock and explore. I knew in this very moment I would allow myself to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Personally, to do this I needed to stop drinking alcohol because it kept my mind and heart circling in the same direction and quite honestly I was exhausted,” she added. “I wanted to feel the pain so I could carry it like a badge of honor. I wanted to live as a leader does and break cycles to advance forward- never looking back with regret and remorse over any choice I have made and would make for the rest of my time here within this beautiful world.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I can’t believe it has been 4yrs!” Simpson continued. “It feels like maybe 2. I think that is a good thing. Ha. There is so much stigma around the word alcoholism or the label of an alcoholic. The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self sabotage. The drinking wasn’t the issue. I was.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She concluded her post, noting that she didn’t “respect my own power” nor “love&#8221; herself, but said she now does. “I am wildly honest and comfortably open. I am free.”</span></p>
