Rumor has it that Jessica Simpson is on the verge of divorce.
Late last winter, reports said that Jessica Simpson was determined to fix your marriage. There were signs that she and her husband Eric Johnson were having problems.
The signs have not disappeared. Not permanently.
Amid the latest marital warning signs, a new report says Jessica Simpson has essentially ended her marriage.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s marriage could be on its last leg… if it still has any left
Recently, Jessica Simpson was once again without her wedding ring. Additionally, last month, she publicly ignored her husband Eric Johnson’s birthday instead of posting the usual tribute.
According to a new report from In touch weekly, Jessica Simpson snubs are not coincidence. Their 10-year marriage is about to fall apart.
“It’s pretty much over,” an inside source said of the state of their marriage. “It’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce.”
On July 5, 2014, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson got married. The two had been dating for years, having welcomed daughter Maxwell Drew in 2012 and son Ace Knute in 2013.

In the past, including in 2023, Jessica Simpson has honored Eric Johnson on his birthday, September 15th.
What did Jessica Simpson post instead?
Jessica Simpson didn’t take a day off from social media for husband Eric Johnson’s birthday in September. Instead she took it to her Instagram Story to share a video clip in which a preacher spoke about the value of forgiveness, something valued within Christianity.
Sometimes people – even public figures – don’t publicly acknowledge a birthday. Celebrities often know that people might wonder why. There may be a deliberate choice to celebrate the person in real life rather than performing on social media.
But for Jessica Simpson to ignore Eric Johnson’s birthday and post a vague video about forgiveness… that felt, to many, like a message. And he wasn’t alone.
Other main question is that Jessica Simpson has been ringless for some time. As far as the public knows, she last wore her wedding ring in January 2024. (She was filming a promotional video for Chicken of the Sea tuna; you have to appreciate someone who can laugh at her most famous and humiliating moment. )
As we previously reported, sources claimed that “the ring comes off” when Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are fighting. It’s not out of pettiness or emotional blackmail – but she feels like she’s living a lie if she uses it when things go wrong.
Jessica didn’t mention Eric in her Valentine’s Day 2024 post. And he hasn’t appeared on her Instagram since April, and that was a photo of him holding Birdie during a family photo.
How does Eric Johnson feel about all of this?
On October 18 report put Life and Stylean inside source claimed that “Eric is fed up with her crazy mood swings. And Jessica feels like their marriage has lost its romance. Everyone is wondering how long they can go on like this.”
The source stated, “Eric has been doing his own thing for longer than anyone seems to know.” The source also added that he had been keeping his distance from Jessica “for over a year.”
Although it’s obviously a shame that two people who once loved each other can’t get along. That being said, if they’re unhappy in their marriage and can’t fix it, there’s no need to torture themselves — or each other. How long until they really give up?
