When Eric Johnson reached the age of 45 on September 15, his wife Jessica Simpson did not post a message on social media to celebrate his birthday. This is despite the fact that 45 is a significant age. Rather than that, Jessica, who is 44 years old, uploaded a video to her Instagram Stories that featured a pastor discussing forgiveness.
"Forgiveness does not change the person who hurt you...Forgiveness changes you," the speaker stated. In addition, the pastor emphasized that forgetting is not synonymous with forgiving.
Despite the fact that it is possible that the tape was just something that the singer found important or that it was meant at someone else who had offended her, the timing of her online reshare on Eric's birthday has caused the inner circle of the couple to be afraid that their marriage, which has been going strong for ten years, is on the verge of dissolving.
A source pointed out that “Jessica and Eric have had a great deal of highs and lows in their relationship.” Due to the fact that Jess has not been seen wearing her wedding band or posting anything on social media with Eric for the past year, there is currently speculation that they are taking a break from their relationship. It would appear that their marriage is on the verge of dissolution, E! News suggested.
Indeed, many with knowledge of the situation are concerned that even Jessica's recent posts about their three children, Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5, going back to school could be an indication of potential problems.
"In one, she shared the quote, 'Once you become a parent, life isn't about you: Your child comes first, always," an anonymous insider told Life & Style Magazine. "It might have been a digat Eric, since he's been absent from all of her photos."
When it comes to the couple's marriage, her profession has been one of the most significant obstacles. At the beginning of 2023, "Jessica relocated to Nashville to work on new music while Eric mostly stayed in LA with the kids," the undisclosed informant shared.
Jessica believed that she wasn't asking for anything, while Eric felt that he had been abandoned, and neither of them could see things from the other's perspective.
"Two your prior, Jessica also finalize and a deal to buy back her namcake brand, which put them under a lot of financial strain as she emptied her stock portfolio and used their house as collateral for a loan," the tipster said.
It had been years since Jessica had experienced such a high level of financial insecurity, and Eric and Tina, Jessica's mother, felt the need to exert some type of influence on Jess over her spending habits, Glamour reported.
"She was spending way above their means," the mole said. In addition, Jessica had contributed financial support to Eric's business initiative, which was a mind-body wellness content portal called Legendary Disciplines. This did not assist the situation.
The tattler claimed, "The project kind of fell apart," which created another area of friction in the situation.
At the end of the day, however. There's a possibility that the two are simply going in opposite directions. "Jessica is gearing up for a comeback and filming a docuseries chronicling her return to music," according to the spy. "But Eric is private and not sure he wants to be a part of something as public as that."
Business Times has reached out to Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson for comments.
