Jessica Simpson, who has struggled with alcohol addiction for many years, divorces husband after decade of marriage

American singer Jessica Simpson, who has struggled with alcohol addiction for many years, has announced divorce from her husband, professional football player Eric Johnson. The couple had been married for 10 years, but now faced a "painful situation" and decided to end their relationship.

The celebrity told People magazine about the dramatic changes in her personal life. The 44-year-old star admitted that she and her ex are now focusing all their attention on giving the best to their three children together.

"Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.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," the singer shared.

The former spouses first met in 2010 through a mutual friend. A spark immediately flashed between them, and six months later they got engaged. However, the stars were in no hurry to organize a wedding. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson decided to tie the knot only in July 2014. Even before the marriage, the celebrities welcomed two children: daughter Maxwell Drew and son Ace Knute. In 2019, their family grew by one more person, as the artist gave birth to their third heiress, Birdie Mae.

For many years of their relationship, the couple said only good things about each other, but the first suspicions that their love had cracked appeared in the fall of 2024. Then Eric Johnson was spotted in public without a wedding ring. Subsequently, an insider close to the celebrities noted that they were living separate lives.

However, despite the fact that there was not too much drama in Jessica Simpson's relationship, the singer still had to go through a difficult period. For a long time, she suffered from alcohol addiction, which significantly affected not only her appearance, but also her career, which she had to take a break from.

The artist admitted that although she always tried to be a successful, beautiful and talented woman for her fans, she always felt quite insecure inside. The star was too demanding of herself and did not respect her personal time and efforts, so she tried to drown her despair with alcohol. However, one day in 2017, the singer realized that it was time to stop poisoning her life and put an end to her addiction. She began a radical transformation, so she regained her fit shape and got younger by 10 years.
