"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.”

The sad update comes as other insiders claim that the couple's differing lifestyles drove them apart. "Jessica and Eric have been living separate lives and doing things on their own," a separate source claimed. "They are different people. Jessica is motivated and Eric isn't. They have different goals."

The Newlyweds alum and the former athlete have always been ones to gush over each other. "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!" she revealed in a 2020 interview.
