Jessica Simpson Reunites With Ex-Eric Johnson? Know What Had Led To Their 'Painful' Divorce

In Hollywood, divorces often make more headlines and reunions are rarer. That is why whenever there is a rumour about celebrity reconciliation in showbiz, it always captures the attention of fans. Whether it was Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's reunion in 2021 or any other high-profile couple who have found their way back to each other, stories of love rekindled bring a sense of hope. And now a new pair to fuel this kind of chatter is Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband, Eric Johnson. Here's what had led to the end of their decade-old marriage. 

Has Jessica Simpson reunited with ex-husband, Eric Johnson? 

On August 29, 2025, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson were spotted together at her sister, Ashlee Simpson's, Las Vegas concert. Immediately, the joint appearance sparked rumours that the two may be giving their relationship another chance. The duo tried to keep a low profile at Voltaire nightclub inside The Venetian as they joined their family and friends for the opening night of Ashlee's residency. However, there was no display of public affection. Yet, fans noticed they were seated in the same group.

At one point, a TikTok video even showed them separating slightly once Ashlee took the stage as they tried not to attract attention to themselves. For those unaware, the joint outing comes just hours after the pair was seen boarding a flight together out of Burbank, California. According to video footage by TMZ, Jessica Simpson and Johnson were spotted on the runway with other passengers as they moved towards their flight. Although they kept an empty seat between them, the sight of them travelling together was enough to raise eyebrows.

Why did Jessica Simpson separate from Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage? 

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson's reunion rumours come months after she confirmed their separation in January 2025, after 10 years of marriage. In a statement at the time, she described the split as a 'painful situation' where they were focused on co-parenting. Later, a new report from Page Six suggested that trust issues, career differences, financial strains, and increasing tension had created a difference between them. The singer had herself hinted at struggles during a March 2025 concert, telling fans she had asked 'very personal questions' at home that turned her world 'upside down.'

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson had a fairytale love story 

Despite the separation, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson's relationship had once been one of Hollywood's more admired love stories. They met in May 2010 through a mutual friend, and within six months, they were engaged. Four years later, on July 5, 2014, they tied the knot in a romantic California ceremony. In the next 10 years, they welcomed three children, daughters, Maxwell Drew and Birdie Mae, and a son, Ace Knute. She used to often describe him as her 'biggest cheerleader' and soulmate. Their partnership had overcome personal challenges, career shifts, and they often grabbed the spotlight before their separation.

Whether Jessica Simpson has reunited with Eric Johnson or not, their joint appearance suggests that the duo are trying to maintain a cordial bond, something that fans admire.
