Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are going through a difficult time in their relationship, according to recent reports revealing that the couple is living separately and trying to handle their separation as carefully as possible in order to minimize the impact on their three children.
The With You singer and the former football player married in 2014 and have three children: Maxwell (12), Ace (11), and Birdie (5). Although not officially confirmed as a breakup, the situation has sparked speculation after both were seen in public without their wedding rings on several occasions.
Simpson is heartbroken
According to sources close to the couple, the separation was not an easy decision for Jessica, who is reportedly "heartbroken" over the situation. While they are still in the process of working out the details of their separation, they are trying to minimize the impact on their children's lives.
One insider mentioned that the couple is focused on managing the situation in a way that doesn't disrupt the family routine, and both parties are committed to remaining good parents for their kids.
A key detail fueling separation rumors is their behavior at public events. Recently, Eric Johnson was seen without his wedding ring while taking a stroll in Los Angeles with his parents, drawing attention from the media.

On the other hand, Jessica has also been spotted without her ring in several photos on social media, something that didn't go unnoticed by her followers. Additionally, another report revealed that the couple no longer attends school events for their children together.
