Jessica Simpson and former NFL player Eric Johnson have a long history together that started in 2010.
In fact, it was love at first sight for Simpson, who recalled her chance May 2010 meeting with Johnson in an Instagram post in May 2020, writing, “He knocked on my dreamy cottage door (sigh), I let him in and never let him leave.” She noted that she “fell head over slippers in love” on that day.
Johnson proposed to Simpson in November 2010 after six months of dating, but it wasn’t until four years later that the pair walked down the aisle.
The couple, both of whom were married before — Simpson to Nick Lachey and Johnson to Keri D’Angelo — welcomed daughter Maxwell and son Ace before saying “I do” in July 2014. They expanded their family once more, welcoming daughter Birdie in March 2019.
In January 2025, the spouses confirmed their split by announcing their separation after 10 years of marriage.
