Jessica Simpson is assuring fans her family is safe and sound amid the deadly wildfires in L.A.

Jessica Simpson and her family evacuated their Hidden Hills mansion amid the deadly wildfires.
“We stayed as long as we could,” the mother-of-three penned alongside the photo, seemingly alluding the former NFL star might be with her despite reports the two are “living separately” amid marital woes.

Another insider noted the duo is “trying to figure out a separation without disrupting their kids’ lives as much as possible.”
During this time, the artist has leaned on an unexpected pal for advice.
It's unclear if the singer and Johnson were living in the same house when she evacuated.
“Jessica hasn’t made any decisions. She’s still researching her options and talking to her friends, especially the ones with kids that have been through a divorce,” another source said, noting Kim Kardashian — who finalized her divorce from ex Kanye West in 2022 — has been a resource for Simpson.
“Jessica has a lot of great women in her life who have circled around to be there and guide her, but Kim is very much front and center. She’s really stepped up to be there as someone to talk things through with,” they said of The Kardashians star.
Jessica Simpson is one of many celebrities forced to leave their homes amid the natural disaster..
“[Kim] has been brutally honest about how painful it was for her to separate her family, but at the end of the day, she does feel divorce was the right option, so she’s giving Jessica hope that if she does go down that path, there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. She’s not telling her what to do either way, but she has been a sounding board for her,” the insider spilled.
