A recent statement made by Jessica Simpson acknowledged that her weight loss of one hundred pounds has not only had a huge impact on her life, but it has also played a role in the dissolution of her marriage to Eric Johnson, which had lasted for ten years.
She said that she and Johnson have been living apart and are currently dealing with a difficult issue in their marriage since they separated.
Jessica made it clear that their children are their top priority, and that they are intent on doing what is most beneficial for them during this time. In addition, she conveyed her appreciation for the love and support that they have received, and she requested privacy as they work through this challenging time as a family, per Express US.
The metamorphosis that Jessica underwent left her feeling revitalized, as if she were "21 again," according to a source within the family.
The source added that Jessica began to crave a kind of freedom she had never experienced before. It was also noted that in the past, Jessica had relied on extreme diets and intense workouts to maintain her slim figure.
Jessica discussed her struggles with weight loss in the memoir that she published in the year 2020, called "Open Book". During the course of her life, she has had a total of three bouts of weight gain and loss, which amounts to a total of one hundred pounds.
More than that, she stated that when she was seventeen years old, she was given the directive by music producer Tommy Mottola to lose fifteen pounds, which ultimately led her to take diet pills.
Despite the fact that she had dropped weight in a more healthy manner in 2021, she denied the rumors that she had taken Ozempic. Rather than taking any kind of medication, she claimed that her weight loss was the consequence of her own self-control at the time.
According to MSN, to be fair to Jessica, Johnson had already distanced himself and had been "over it and over her for a while," making infidelity on his part a possibility. However, the source also noted that infidelity on Jessica's part couldn't be ruled out either.
The source also shared that Jessica had been working on new music for some time, but given the current situation, she felt it was the right moment to fully commit to it. The source explained that Jessica is always journaling, and some of her entries had evolved into songs about heartbreak and resilience. It was described as a very creative, though emotionally difficult, period for her.
