Jessica Simpson steps out in Los Angeles this week in a busty dress amid rumors of her divorce from Eric Johnson. The mother of three has enjoyed an enduring relationship with her husband for ten years in the eyes of the public. However, things seemed to take a downward dive in the last few months, with the pair rarely stepping out together on date nights or joint public appearances. Sightings of the two without their wedding rings have also indicated possible marital squabbles.
Amid the divorce rumors running wild, Jessica Simpson recently stepped out in Los Angeles to attend the 16th birthday celebration of her nephew Bronx Wentz, turning heads in her revealing dress. The star graced the family bash alongside Bronx’s parents Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, and Ashlee’s current husband Van Ross. Jessica’s parents Joe Simpson and Tina Ann Drew as well as her three kids Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie joined the festivities at the Beverly Hills hot spot Mr. Chow.
While the outing turned out to be one grand family affair with the Simpsons going all out to celebrate the teenager, one notable member was missing from the fold… Jessica Simpson’s husband Eric Johnson. The circumstances surrounding his absence remain unclear. However, given the ongoing separation rumors plaguing the couple in recent times, his no-show at the family outing seemed like the ultimate confirmation of lingering divorce.

Interestingly, Jessica Simpson gave further pointers that seemed to validate the rumors of her divorce from Eric Johnson. The star, who graced the birthday outing in a plunging long dress that gave a generous view of her chest area ditched her wedding ring, making sure to flaunt her fingers enough to reveal the missing jewelry in several paparazzi snaps.
The birthday outing comes one week after the These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ crooner shared a cryptic post on her Instagram page, stirring the rumor mills. In her post, teasing a musical comeback, Jessica Simpson referenced her years of putting up with things she did not deserve. The caption, accompanying photos of her in a sexy white dress and fur coat read,
“Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic. This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
Fans immediately went wild with curiosity, quizzing the singer about the state of her marriage to Eric. Many interpreted her cryptic words as the official announcement that her marriage had hit the rocks. While Jessica and her husband have remained mum on the subject, sources confirmed they indeed had lingering marital issues. Insiders who spoke to TMZ claimed people from Jessica Simpson’s inner circle have gone as far as contacting divorce attorneys in Los Angeles, claiming the popstar wanted out of her “unhappy marriage.” With no direct confirmation from the pair, these reports remain mere rumors.
