Are Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson heading for a split?
According to an insider, the longtime couple has been struggling behind the scenes for quite a long time as rumors continue to swirl about a possible divorce.
According to insiders, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have been 'butting heads' for a long time.
"Jessica and Eric have been butting heads and living separate lives for an extremely long time,” a source spilled about Simpson, 44, and Johnson, 45. "They have a ton of unresolved issues in the marriage that have been simmering for years and now seem to be reaching a boiling point."
Per the insider, the "With You" singer wants the former football player to step up and be a better partner to her. "Jessica clearly wants Eric to get his act together," the source explained. “But she won’t stick around in limbo forever.”
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson married in July 2014.
"It’s pretty much over between her and Eric; it’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce," the insider continued. "They tried couples counseling, which worked for a while, but then things went back to the way they were. They don’t spend nearly as much time together as they used to, and they’ve just grown apart."
Simpson, who married Johnson in July 2014, sparked concern recently when she shared a cryptic Instagram post about her upcoming music. “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” she captioned a slew of photos. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
