Jessica Simpson’s Cryptic Post Seemingly Alludes to Eric Johnson Split: ‘My Singular Magic’

Entering her single era? Fans of Jessica Simpson believe she may have hinted at a split from her husband, Eric Johnson, with her latest Instagram post.

The “Irresistible” singer, 44, took to the social media platform on Monday, November 11, to share photos of herself wearing a white dress with a black fuzzy coat and tall leather platform boots as she posed in a music studio in Nashville.

“Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” she captioned the cryptic post. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

Many fans in the comments speculated that the post was a hint about a split from Eric, 45. They pointed out that she seemingly stopped sharing photos of her husband on her Instagram and did not make a post for his birthday. Additionally, the singer has seemingly not worn her wedding ring in recent photos.

“Is this J Simp saying she’s single?” one user asked, while another replied, “I think her photos have been saying that for months.”

“Yep, called this a while ago. We love you. Stay strong,” a third fan commented.

Amid the rumors, Jessica’s sister, Ashlee Simpson, was asked if there was any known trouble in paradise for the Dukes of Hazzard star and the former pro Football player. TMZ caught up with the “Outta My Head” singer while she was out with husband Evan Ross at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Monday and asked, “Fans are speculating that Jessica might be looking to get a divorce from her recent Instagram post. Do you know anything about it? Is that true? Do you know?”

Ashlee, 40, simply replied, “No.” However, it’s unclear if she meant that the rumors were untrue or if she didn’t know anything about it.

Jessica and Eric tied the knot in July 2014 after four years of dating. The pair welcomed their first daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, in May 2012, followed by son Ace Knute Johnson in June 2013 and daughter Birdie Mae Johnson in March 2019.

A source exclusively told Life & Style on October 31 that Jessica had been spending weeks away from home at a time to record her upcoming album, which will be her first in 14 years. According to the insider, she has big plans for the future, but they might not include Eric.

“Lately, Jessica has been reevaluating her happiness, her marriage and her Business empire, and she is ready to start fresh,” the source said. “It’s pretty much over between her and Eric; it’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce.”

The insider added that Jessica and her husband did try to make things work. “He’s always been supportive and an amazing father,” the source continued. “They tried couples counseling, which worked for a while, but then things went back to the way they were. They don’t spend nearly as much time together as they used to, and they’ve just grown apart.”

While Jessica will “always be grateful” for the way Eric stood by her side as she overcame an alcohol addiction, the source said she has “changed a lot of her thinking and priorities” since she became sober in 2017.

“Jess and Eric have had to have some really difficult conversations, including about pulling the plug on their relationship,” the insider concluded.
