Jessica Simpson recently provided an emotional update regarding her split from estranged husband Eric Johnson,
sharing her thoughts on their ongoing relationship and her journey toward healing.
In an interview with People magazine, the 44-year-old TV personality and designer revealed that,
despite the separation, Eric remains “very much a part of [her] life” and will continue to be in the future.
Simpson and Johnson, who have been living apart for several months, are both no longer wearing their wedding bands in public,
which signals the changing dynamics of their relationship.
Simpson opened up about the emotional impact of her life changes, remarking, “I’ve grown up so much. I can handle so much. Maybe I’m just meant to love a lot of people in my life.” Reflecting on the turbulence of her emotional journey, she admitted, “I don’t know why my heart gets tossed around but I’m one of the lucky ones. At least I have my children and I still have Eric.” Despite the painful circumstances, Simpson emphasized that their bond as co-parents and mutual respect for one another remains strong, even as they navigate the challenges of their separation.
The conversation with People comes just ahead of the release of Simpson’s highly anticipated “revenge album,” Nashville Canyon: Part 1, set to drop on March 21. As a preview, Simpson will release the single “Use My Heart Against Me” on February 21, which she described as a deeply personal and emotional song. The album, which includes five tracks, marks a return to music for Simpson, who last released an album in 2010. She explained that creating the music was a cathartic experience, with Nashville playing a pivotal role in her self-discovery. “Thank God I had Nashville, it was just a way of me owning myself and declaring it,” she shared.
Simpson also spoke about how she has evolved both personally and professionally. Living in a rented house near Nashville with her children, she said, “I am a woman now and I can do what I want and to have freedom in music – I think that’s what you’re going to feel in Nashville Canyon.” This album is set to be a raw exploration of her emotions, reflecting on her life experiences, particularly her struggles in her marriage. A source close to Simpson confirmed that the album would deeply explore the heartbreak she has faced, adding that it will be a “revenge” album full of personal reflections on the challenges she’s endured.
Jessica’s return to music is a significant moment in her career, and it comes after a long hiatus from the industry. The album is being described as intensely emotional, with themes similar to those of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill — raw, unapologetic, and full of wild emotion. Simpson has poured her heart into the project, using music as a form of self-expression to deal with the pain of her separation and the personal growth she has experienced. One insider shared that Simpson has called the album “the soundtrack to my soul,” further highlighting the deeply personal nature of the songs.
While Simpson continues to work through her emotions and her evolving relationship with Eric, she has made it clear that her children—Maxwell (12), Ace (11), and Birdie (5)—remain her top priority. In a statement regarding their separation earlier this year, she emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and putting their children first. Simpson and Johnson’s split has been widely discussed, with sources suggesting that Jessica’s dramatic weight loss, which saw her shed 100 pounds, played a role in the changes within their relationship. Her newfound confidence and transformation unleashed a new side of her personality, making her feel more youthful and liberated.
As Jessica Simpson moves forward with her personal and professional life, her fans can expect a powerful and emotional journey through her music. With her upcoming album and the raw honesty she is known for, Simpson is ready to share her side of the story, inviting listeners to experience her journey of self-empowerment and healing.
