As OK! previously reported, people close to the "With You" singer, who shares Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11 and Birdie, 5, with Johnson, claimed one of her friends contacted a divorce lawyer in late October to discuss the couple's marriage.

Simpson also seemed to hint at something changing in her life in a recent social media update. “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” the blonde beauty penned while in the studio. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve. 🎶 🎼 🤍🖤”

Before Simpson and the tight end hit a bump in the road in their romance, the former reality star never shied away from gushing over her man. "In terms of my marriage to Eric, I have never felt more myself or more free," Simpson noted in a 2020 interview. "Eric and I have a true mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am most certainly in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!"

The pop star also always showed off their relationship on social media. "I fell head over slippers in love with this perfect man 10 YEARS ago today!" she penned in a touching tribute shared to social media. "By chance he knocked on my dreamy cottage door (sigh), I let him in and never let him leave. He is mine, I am his...forever."
