Former NFL player Eric Johnson and singer Jessica Simpson have announced their separation after eight years of marriage. The couple, who have three children together, cited that their children are their priority and they are focusing on what is best for them.
Jessica Simpson made headlines in November when she revealed her plans to release new music, calling it a “comeback” and stating that it’s an apology to herself for tolerating difficult situations. The singer also shared a recent selfie, saying “Life is short. SMILE while you still have teeth.”
Eric Johnson, 45, played college football at Yale before being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2001. He spent eight seasons with the team and later played for the New Orleans Saints before retiring.
The separation comes after a 2023 interview where Simpson expressed her love for Johnson, stating that he understands her heart more than anyone else she’s met.
