Jessica Simpson seemingly hints at split from Eric Johnson with cryptic post: “This comeback is personal”

Jessica Simpson hinted that there is trouble in paradise for her and her husband Eric Johnson by sharing a cryptic social media post amid divisive rumors.

While announcing her return to music, Jessica, 44, shared photos of herself at her Nashville home on Instagram on Monday, November 11. “Interviews in my music room in Nashville where I discovered my unique magic,” she captioned the snap. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for enduring everything I didn’t deserve.”

Shortly after Jessica uploaded the post, several fans rushed to the comments section, wondering if the caption alluded to a possible breakup between her and 45-year-old Eric. “Is this just saying she's single?” one person asked, while another chimed in: “Yeah, I called this a while ago. We love you. Stay strong.”

The “I Wanna Love You Forever” singer apparently alluded to her single status and speculated that she and Eric are on the verge of a breakup. The theories first began circulating when fans noticed that she was no longer wearing her wedding ring and Jessica also didn't post about his birthday on September 15 on social media.
