Jessica Simpson was the epitome of a relatable mother when she posted pictures of her family on Instagram on September 6 to commemorate the day that her children started attending school.
"I'm so very proud of y'all for individually shining your light so that in return others feel the glow," the pop star captioned with a carousel of fun shots of her with daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, and 11-year-old son Ace. "Y'all make your Mom beam with smiles and grace!"
Her husband of ten years, Eric Johnson, a former football professional, was conspicuously absent from the post that was celebrating the occasion. After being a regular on the social media account of the 44-year-old celebrity, Eric, who is now 45 years old, has not been seen on her page since September of last year. In July, the couple’s tenth wedding anniversary went unacknowledged publicly.
It has been reported by sources to Star Magazine that Jessica and Eric have experienced a difficult period in their relationship, and they have been living different lives as they deal with issues related to finances and her growing preoccupation with her appearance.
"Jessica hasn't been wearing her ring. and there are rumors they are on a break," an insider claimed. As friends of the couple assume that they are on the verge of being divorced, that break can turn out to be permanent. "Their marriage seems to be hanging on by a thread," the informant added.
A second tipster claimed that Jessica has developed an unhealthy fixation on her appearance.
"She doesn't leave the house without professional makeup and she always looks like she's recovering from some kind of cosmetic procedure," the mole said.
She had shed a total of one hundred pounds in 2019. In December of 2022, the singer known for her hit song "Irresistible" uploaded a video of her nonsurgical facelift treatment at a medical spa.
As she has become more and more preoccupied with herself, she has been effectively excluding Eric from her life.
"He's a relaxed, laid-back guy," the spy said. "Jessica still has an incredible amount of anxiety around her appearance and Eric isn't equipped to help her through those issues."
Both of them have grown cut off from the people who are closest to them.
"Friends are puzzled over their withdrawal from their social circle," the tattler shared, noting that on their calendar, the couple has been avoiding even the social commitments that are the least demanding there are." In addition, the source added that Jessica, who has been clean for seven years, has developed a "reclusive" personality and will spend "days on end" without leaving their residence.
In the past, Jessica frequently gushed over Eric, referring to him as her "sexual shaman" and her "soulmate." However, according to the insider, the two of them now appear to be completely disconnected from one another. "They seem like strangers who met on a dating app!"
