Jessica Simpson, newly single after 10 years with Eric Johnson, is back in the dating scene

Jessica Simpson is embracing a new chapter in her life following her split from former NFL player Eric Johnson. According to RadarOnline, the 43-year-old singer and business mogul is ready to explore romance again after quietly separating from Johnson longer ago than the public realises.

An insider close to Simpson revealed that the transition has been challenging, but she’s eager to move forward. “Jessica is a romantic at heart. She prefers being in a relationship,” the source explained. Despite the difficulties of parting ways after a decade, she is now focused on what lies ahead.

The couple, who share three children—Maxi, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5—officially announced their separation on January 14. However, sources suggest their relationship had been on the rocks for quite some time. “For Jessica, he is not what she needs. It’s just not working and hasn’t for a while,” a confidant told Us Weekly, adding that Simpson has found solace in her family and career as she rebuilds her life.

Alongside her personal reinvention, Simpson is also preparing for a major musical comeback. The singer, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, is reportedly diving back into her passion for music, setting the stage for a potential return to the spotlight.

Though navigating single life after a decade of marriage is daunting, Simpson remains resilient. “She isn’t going to worry about [what he is doing] and is doing her thing too,” the source continued. “She has her own mind, money, and family support for whatever happens.”

As she moves forward, fans are eager to see what’s next for the pop star—both in love and in music.
