 Jessica Simpson is sort of single. Jessica is separated from her husband Eric Johnson, and there?s been a slow-moving estrangement for the better part of six months or so. She?s now living in Nashville, while Eric is seemingly still based in LA. Neither of them has gone scorched earth so far, but again, no one has filed for divorce and everything seems like it?s in limbo. Now, if you told me that Jessica was already acting like she was divorced, I would believe you. That?s absolutely her vibe, from what little we?ve seen of her new life in Nashville. I also wouldn?t be surprised if we eventually learned that Jessica or Eric (or both) cheated. Well, in any case, it looks like Jessica is trying to get Jeremy Renner?s attention. Jessica and Jeremy have known each other socially for years, but they?re both single-ish right now, so Jess is shooting her shot.
She?s single and ready to mingle. Jessica Simpson was caught leaving flirty comments on Jeremy Renner?s workout videos following her split from her husband, Eric Johnson. Earlier this month, netizens noticed that the ?With You? singer, 44, left a fire emoji underneath an Instagram video of the ?Hawkeye? star, 54, shirtless in a gym. While Renner didn?t reply to the praise, he notably ?liked? the comment.
Then, over the weekend, Simpson left another message below a clip of the actor exercising with his mother, Valerie Cearley. Renner, once again, ditched his shirt in the clip as he and his mom completed an ab circuit in a garage. ?I love this oh my?Mama is STRONG?I need to go do sit ups now ,? the ?Irresistible? singer wrote.
Simpson has ?liked? nearly all of Renner?s posts since late January ? the same month she confirmed her separation from Johnson, 45. The ?Avengers? star returned the love following the release of Simpson?s new EP, ?Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1.? After the fashion designer dropped the country project last week, Renner commented on her announcement, ?Congrats Jess !!! .?
The back-and-forth comes 15 years after the two first sparked romance rumors. Back in 2010, People reported that Renner and Simpson had been spotted ?flirting up a storm? at a cocktail party. ?Jeremy spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy,? a spy told the magazine at the time, also claiming the stars had exchanged numbers at the event. However, the ?Hurt Locker? actor later denied reports that they were dating.

I absolutely believe Jeremy hit on Jessica in 2010. Did she say anything about him in her memoir? I don?t think so, but imagine what would have happened if they had really tried something back then. As for this current thing? it reads like two people testing the waters. Well, Jessica is being pretty obvious about it she is, as I said, shooting her shot. Jeremy is more like? well, maybe, let?s see. The fact that Jessica is liking every one of his posts too! LOL.

 This week, Jessica Simpson announced her split from Eric Johnson, her husband of ten years and father of their three kids. Their separation was widely rumored throughout 2024, and it looked like both Jessica and Eric had removed their wedding rings towards the end of the year. I assumed there were several factors Jessica moved to Nashville to restart her music career, and there seemed to be significant money problems in recent years. So what was really going on? It sounds like someone cheated? At least that?s what Page Six?s sources are insinuating.
Jessica Simpson?s 10-year marriage to Eric Johnson was rocky long before their split, Page Six has exclusively learned.
?Jess and Eric had trust issues,? a source tells us. ?They were no longer on the same page, and it drove a wedge between them.?
Simpson, 44, announced her separation from Johnson, 45, on Monday, confirming reports that they have been living apart while navigating what she called ?a painful situation.?
?Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them,? she said in a statement, referencing the estranged couple?s daughters, Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, and son, Ace, 11. ?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.?
We hear Simpson and Johnson ? who are selling their $18 million marital home in Hidden Hills, Calif. ? decided to live separately last year ?as a trial of sorts? before officially calling it quits.
?Jess thought it would help if they spent some time apart,? our source shares, ?but it only made her realize she enjoyed her independence.?
We?re told Simpson, who recently celebrated seven years of sobriety, has ?good days and bad days,? but she is ?handling the separation well, all things considered.?
Reps for the ?With You? singer did not immediately respond to Page Six?s requests for comment. Simpson and Johnson first sparked breakup rumors in November 2024 after she cryptically wrote on Instagram that her plan to return to music was an ?apology to [herself] for putting up with everything [she] did not deserve.?
[From Page Six]
Trust issues? Putting up with sh-t she didn?t deserve? Did that man cheat on her?? The thing is, Jessica has been ?acting single? for the past year, which is fine because it turns out that she was in a trial separation. But I would love to know what came first and what started all of this. More housekeeping: it?s true that Jessica is selling their Hidden Hills, California home, she just slashed the price on it too. I assume Eric was living there while Jessica lived in Nashville. People Magazine also had an exclusive about how Eric and Jessica have worked out a ?new schedule? for the kids and there?s no drama between them as parents. We?ll see.

 Last week, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren soft-launched their divorce. I noted, at the time, that I was surprised that we hadn?t gotten more about the much-rumored split of the other Jessica, Jessica Simpson. In the last half of 2024, there were steady rumors about the state of Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson?s marriage. Money problems and location problems, allegedly Jessica moved to Nashville and she?s planning to relaunch her music career. Meanwhile, Eric is? not in Nashville, apparently. Well, now People Magazine is calling it. Jessica and Eric?s marriage is over.
Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson are taking time apart. The singer and actress, 44, and her former NFL player husband, 45, are separating after 10 years of marriage, Simpson tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage, Simpson said in a statement to PEOPLE. 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.
Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring in November, around the same time Simpson teased her comeback to music with a cryptic Instagram post that featured 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. It?s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.
A source told PEOPLE days later that that the With You singer and her husband very much live separate lives.
Simpson and Johnson married in July 2014 after four years of dating and share three children: daughters Maxwell Maxi Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, 5, and son Ace Knute, 11.
[From People]
I will always respect Eric and I hope Jessica feels the same way for supporting her through her sober journey and helping her deal with her drinking problem. I genuinely thought they were happy and settled, but Jessica has also been going through some things separate from her marriage. She?s in debt because of her clothing line (she and her mom bought back the rights to the full line) and she?s trying to relaunch her music career. It would not surprise me if Jessica is the one who decided she was done with the marriage.
Jessica posted this photo from Nashville late last year she?s really given herself an extreme makeover.

 There?s some evidence that Jessica Simpson?s marriage has been falling apart for a while. Everything seemed fine up until a year ago. Then, rather suddenly, Jessica?s whole demeanor changed, and she looked like she?d gotten some drastic cosmetic work. For months now, there have been stories here and there usually in TMZ about Jessica and Eric Johnson?s marriage and divorce lawyers. Jessica?s fans have noticed that Eric has been missing on her social media for more than a year as well. Now Jessica and Eric are both playing the rings-off game, and it?s gotten so noticeable that even People Magazine is raising the ?separate lives? alarm:
Jessica Simpsons husband Eric Johnson has been spotted without his ring as a source tells PEOPLE the pair has been spending time apart. Johnson, 45, was photographed walking in Los Angeles sans wedding band on Tuesday, Nov. 12 amid rumors of a rift in his marriage to Simpson, 44, whos preparing to release new music about 16 years after her last original studio album.
Shes 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 tells PEOPLE. Jess and Eric very much live separate lives.
Over the last several weeks, speculation about the state of their relationship grew after fans noticed Jessica hasnt been wearing her wedding ring for many months.
Hasn?t posted a pic of her husband in a year, one social media user wrote on Sept. 23. Another social media user added, She reminds me of a newly single girl in her latest posts
Jessicas last Instagram feed post with the former NFL player was from September 2023, when she wished him a happy 44th birthday.
[From People]
Yeah, I?m not sure why they?re dragging this out, other than the kids are still pretty young? Birdie is only 5 years old, Maxwell (the oldest) is 12. But Eric and Jessica are clearly separated and have been for a while. Maybe she?s so involved with relaunching her music career, she just hasn?t gotten around to filing for divorce. I wonder why Eric hasn?t filed though? I have a theory, actually: my guess is that they?re holding off on a divorce because Jessica?s finances are so chaotic right now. Jessica isn?t liquid at all she?s put everything into buying back her brand/clothing line. Eric is probably holding off on the divorce until he can get a financial settlement.

 Last year, Jessica Simpson gave an interview to Bustle which stressed me out. She was funny and real, as always, but she talked a lot about her business. She and her mom bought back Jessica?s eponymous fashion line, and they put their own money into it, to the point where Jessica was overextended and unable to pay for her lifestyle. She was also going back to country music, trying to settle down in Nashville, and recording another reality show about her life and musical comeback. Basically, it sounded like Jessica was being pulled in twenty directions and her professional life was the most chaotic it had ever been. In that interview, there was very little information about her marriage to Eric Johnson or their three kids. Then, in recent months, there?s been a steady stream of gossip muttering about how Jessica?s marriage is possibly on the rocks, and how Eric has basically disappeared from her social media. Now TMZ says that people close to Jessica have consulted divorce lawyers on her behalf?
Two people directly connected to Jessica Simpson have spoken with 2 divorce lawyers in the last 2 months specifically about Jessicas marriage to Eric Johnson TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ late last month someone close to Jessica went to a Los Angeles divorce attorney and said Jessica was unhappy in her marriage and wanted to arrange a meeting with the attorney and Simpson. We do not know if this was done at Jessicas behest, but were told the message to the lawyer was clear. Were also told up to this point Jessica has not made contact with the lawyer.
And, weve learned someone on Jessicas team made contact with another Los Angeles divorce lawyer regarding matters that were divorce-related. Again, so far were told there has been no follow-through.
Jessica and Eric have been married for 10 years and have 3 children. Jessica posted Monday, Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearth my singular magic. This comeback is personal, its an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve. Its unclear what JS was referring to, but people online were buzzing about her marriage.
[From TMZ]
I actually believe that their marriage is on the rocks and probably has been for some time. While Eric was by her side when she went into recovery and got sober, it felt like both her alcoholism and her sobriety put strains on the marriage. In the years since, she?s remained sober, but her professional life has become shambolic. Maybe Eric and Jessica have just outgrown each other, or maybe Jessica like so many women these days is trying to get out while the getting is good, i.e. before Donald Trump and the Republicans take away no-fault divorces.

 Over the summer, Jessica Simpson did a big exclusive with Bustle an editorial and an interview. I hadn?t seen new photos of her in a while and I was startled by how different she looked in those pics. She said, in the interview, that she?s not on Ozempic, but her face tells a different story. Well, Jessica stepped out this week in New York, and here are some photos of her appearance. She was honored at Footwear News? Annual Achievement Awards and she received the Icon Award for her successful footwear and clothing company.
I?m not sure how much I want to get into it or try to figure out what Jessica has done to herself. After her third child and after Jessica got sober, she steadily lost weight and that changed her face. But? yeah, I also think she?s gotten some work done and it?s not good quality work either. She was always so beautiful, but it?s actually on-brand for Jess that she sort of looks like a Real Housewife now.
Professionally, Jessica is seemingly in a good place, so at least there?s that. She and her mother have basically bought back full control of Jessica?s eponymous clothing line and brand, and Jessica is maybe/probably still in debt up to her eyeballs. It honestly feels pretty tenuous, so I hope everything works out in the end.

 Jessica Simpson?s whole appeal is that she?s truly a ?normal person.? She reminds everyone of someone they know, a wacky neighbor or a friend from high school or that girl with the bad picker and a good heart. Jessica is just like us. She farts in meetings, she dates sh-tty guys, she has trouble losing weight and she wears her heart on her sleeve. Now we can add something else to the list: Jessica?s credit cards get declined at Taco Bell. Just like us! The backstory is simple, which is that Jessica and her mom have bought the majority stake in Jessica?s billion-dollar shoe/fashion empire, which means Jessica doesn?t always have funds available for a Taco Bell run.
Jessica Simpson has been investing money in her brand ? and it?s resulted in an awkward moment or two.
?I am draining my bank account,? the ?Irresistible? singer, 41, said during her Tuesday, April 19, appearance on The Real. ?I have no working credit card. It?s OK. I will pay in cash. I went to Taco Bell the other day and my card got denied. I?m on a budget, ladies!?
The Open Book author explained that she?s currently working on expanding her clothing brand to include lines for boys and men, and when it comes to her business, she?s willing to go all in.
?With money, there?s just so much fear attached to it,? the Texas native said. ?And I?m the person that you get mad at at the blackjack table. I?ll put it all out there if it?s me that?s driving the show, because I believe in myself and I know what I can do. And I know that nothing will stop me, and if you try to stop me, I?ll try harder.?
[From Us Weekly]
It?s remarkable to think of how few women actually approach business this way. Like, even reading this story made me want to check my bank account online. I need to know I have money? in case of emergencies, in case I need to walk away (from what, I have no idea), in case I need an emergency fast food fix. That being said, it doesn?t sound like Jessica actually has her finances together if her card is being declined at Taco Bell? But whatever.
I?m including the full interview on The Real below. She also talked about how it took her three years to lose 100 pounds following her three pregnancies, and how she?s big into goal-setting and incremental progress.

 For years now, there?s been a lot of misinformation about Jessica Simpson?s business, her eponymous fashion and shoe line. I?ve seen comments on this very blog claiming that Jessica doesn?t own her business, that she just licensed her name out and other people do the work. That?s not the case. What is the case is that Sequential Brands Group owned a majority stake in Jessica?s brand, but she and her mother still owned 37.5% of the label. Considering Jessica was one of the first singer-celebrity-designers to have a big, successful mass-market label, Jessica has made A LOT of money from her brand, even without the majority stake in the company. And now? she and Tina are about to gain a majority stake, if not the whole company:
Jessica Simpson and her mother, Tina, are about to pull off the ultimate mother-daughter power move as they plot the next chapter for their billion-dollar brand, which has defied the odds and become one of fashion?s longest-running success stories.
For the past several months, Jessica and Tina, who currently own 37.5% of the brand they founded in 2005, have been negotiating with Sequential Brands Group Inc. to buy the remainder of the business. (The Simpsons declined to comment on whether the deal had been completed. Sequential bought the majority share from Camuto Group in 2015 but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August and has been rapidly selling off its portfolio.)
?It means the absolute world to me to be able to take over complete ownership of my brand,? Jessica told FN last week. ?After 16 years in business I feel ready to meet this next exciting phase with open arms. I know the sky is the limit when my mom, our incredible team and I lock into our customers completely.?
The watershed moment also brings a sense of pride to mom Tina, who said this has been the team?s main goal for some time. ?For all of our hard-working, talented, amazing licensing partners, to know Jessica is at the helm gives them strength and belief in the future. And for Jessica to regain control of her namesake brand, it allows her and I, alongside our amazing team, licensing and retail partners to build the legacy brand to carry on to her children and family,? she explained.
Currently, the Jessica Simpson women?s footwear line is licensed through Camuto Group as part of a long-term partnership, and will remain intact no matter who is the majority owner.
[From Footwear News]
I?m happy for her! I wonder if she and Tina have the money to buy it outright or if they?ve getting money from silent partners or investors. In any case, Jessica?s label is the most successful part of her portfolio, and in recent years, that?s where most of her efforts have gone too, towards designing and building the business. People make fun of Jessica?s line for not being high-class or high-fashion, but she makes cute, affordable things and I know there are a lot of people who quietly swear by the quality. Like, Jessica?s shoe line is supposed to be particularly good for the price range, and Jessica really cares about making cute, affordable, wearable things. She?s not trying to be high-fashion!

| Jessica Simpson threw out her scale: 'I have no idea how much I weigh' | Added 3 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

 Jessica Simpson is genuinely relatable for so many women. She has a history of dating douchebags. She has substance abuse issues. She grew up in a suffocating, ultra-conservative Christian family. But perhaps the most relatable thing about Jessica is her yo-yo dieting, her fluctuating weight, and people talking sh-t about her looks and her weight. Jessica is a short, curvy woman and she?s spent years learning the hard way that she can?t really fight her shape, and she can only be as healthy as possible. That?s not just about diet, exercise and abstaining from alcohol it?s also about being mentally healthy regarding body image and expectations. So she threw out her scale.
Jessica Simpson told Hoda Kotb on ?Today? that she has no idea what her current weight is, having banished a scale from her home some time ago.
?I threw it out,? Simpson, 40, told Kotb in a preview of the segment, which airs Thursday.
?You said it was, like, a Ouija board in church,? Kotb said, ?bye-bye.?
?I have no idea how much I weigh,? Simpson went on. ?Like, I just want to feel good and be able to zip my pants up. If I don?t, I have another size. I have every size. I?ve really tried my hardest to not let that define me,? she added.
Simpson revealed earlier this year that she weathered a bout with COVID-19, calling the past year ?especially intense.?
?We have all been handed challenges and fears in our lives that, at times, felt like too much to overcome,? she said. But the singer signed a big deal in December with Amazon for a mixed publishing and TV deal, based on her 2020 memoir, ?Open Book,? according to The Hollywood Reporter.
[From Page Six]
First of all, I?m here for a major Jessica Simpson comeback. I would actually love it if she did another reality show, this time as a 40-year-old mom of three, perhaps with a mix of her business and family life. They could even call it a ?docu-series? and make it fancy. As for the no-scale thing? I also refuse to weigh myself at this point. I?m not 17 years old anymore and I really don?t give a fk what the scale says at this point in my life. I?m a big believer in throwing away scales and just living your life. I?m glad Jess is there too.
