Amid Jessica Simpson’s announcement that her 10-year marriage to Eric Johnson is ending, Dailymail.com is taking a closer look at the warning signs that the couple exhibited over their final years of their marital union.
‘Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,’ the 44-year-old singer-actress told People in a statement Monday.
Simpson, who has more than 6.3 million Instagram followers and Johnson, a former NFL tight end, are parents to three children: daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, five.
Simpson said on Monday, ‘Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.’
Simpson and Johnson celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary this last summer.
They wed in July of 2014 after four years of dating. She had previously been wed to entertainer Nick Lachey, 51, while he had been married to Keri D’Angelo.
