Why Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Are Separating After 10 Years of Marriage

Another beloved celebrity couple bites the dust. After 10 years of marriage, Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson have announced that they are separating. Now, a source is sharing what led to their split. According to Page Six, the couple has been experiencing "trust issues" in their marriage.

“Jess and Eric had trust issues,” the insider said. “They were no longer on the same page, and it drove a wedge between them.”

The fashion mogul confirmed the news to People on Tuesday with a statement that revealed that the two had been living separately, while still prioritizing their children.

"Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage," Simpson told the outlet. "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."

Back in November, a source told People that Simpson had been splitting her time between Los Angeles and Nashville to work on new music. "She's working on music and splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville. Eric spends all of his time in L.A., where the kids go to school," the source said at the time. "Jess and Eric very much live separate lives."

Johnson was seen without his ring in November, according to the outlet. Simpson was spotted without hers in December, per Page Six.

Simpson and Johnson first met and began dating in 2010 before getting engaged in November later that year. The two officially tied the knot in 2014 and share three kids together, daughters Maxwell Drew and Birdie Mae and son Ace Knut.
