Why Are Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Flying Together?
GettyFans are now wondering why Simpson and Johnson traveled together. According to TMZ, the ex-lovers jetted to Sin City to support Ashlee Simpson, who is kicking off her Vegas residency at the Venetian.
Simpson and Johnson announced their separation in January after a decade of marriage.
“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson confirmed to PEOPLE at the time. “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.”
Rumors of their split first made rounds online after Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring in November 2024. Around the same time, Simpson teased her music comeback on Instagram.
Simpson and Johnson met through a mutual friend in 2010 and got engaged after six months of dating. They tied the knot in July 2014 and share three children: Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 12, Birdie Mae, 5, and Ace Knute, 11.
