Ashlee Simpson Shuts Down Jessica Simpson Marriage Speculation with One Word

Jessica and husband Eric Johnson have been married since 2014 and share three children: Maxwell "Maxi" Drew, 12, Ace Knute, 11, and Birdie Mae, 5

Ashlee Simpson Ross seems to think Jessica Simpson's marriage is intact.

During an outing to the restaurant Mr. Chow in Los Angeles on Nov. 11, TMZ asked the "Pieces of Me" singer, 40, to address rumors her 44-year-old sister's marriage to former NFL player Eric Johnson is on the rocks — and she responded with a simple, direct answer.

"Ashlee, fans are speculating that Jessica might be looking to get a divorce from her recent Instagram post," said reporters in a video shared by the outlet. "Do you know anything about it? Is it true? Do you know?"

"No," she bluntly told TMZ while walking with her husband, Evan Ross.

TMZ's questions for Ashlee came hours after her sister teased her "comeback" to music with a cryptic Instagram post featuring photos of herself in a recording studio.

"Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic," she captioned the images.

"This comeback is personal," added Jessica, "It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve."

Earlier this month, the "With You" singer celebrated seven years of sobriety in a touching Instagram post. "7yrs ago today I walked myself into the light of being alcohol free," she wrote.

In September, Gunpowder & Sky announced a documentary about Jessica is in the works, and she told fans the series will be "entirely real, raw and more personal than anything I have done before."

She added in a press release at the time, "In releasing my memoir, Open Book, I was moved to learn just how much people saw themselves in my story. I am ready to share a lot that has happened in my life since that book was published, including an artistic journey and return to music inspired by pain and betrayal as well as beauty and forgiveness."

"I am looking forward to reconnecting and sharing my heart with all those who might need it in the hope that we can inspire each other and move forward on our parallel journeys," continued Jessica.
