The root cause of Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s fractured marriage has been revealed. The couple was on a strong 10-year run until months back when Johnson was noticeably absent from his wife’s Instagram. The rumors were further intensified when the fashion designer was spotted without her wedding ring earlier this month.
Per sources, Simpson’s erratic behavior has pushed Johnson away, causing him to distance himself “for more than a year.” The former football player and the Blonde Ambition actress are reportedly living apart amid their “rocky patch,” and he is adjusting fine to the space. The informant explained to Life&Style:
“Eric has been doing his own thing for longer than anyone seems to know. He’s been very vocal about how difficult it is to live with someone so obsessed with surgery and so detached from reality most of the time.”
Another bone of contention is Simpson’s “crazy mood swings,” added the source. “Eric’s been dealing with a lot of Jessica’s baggage for a long time. She’ll be yelling for joy one minute, then start crying and hide out in her bedroom for a day.” Although the couple is trying to work things out for the sake of their children, it is unlikely they will survive this. “it’s just a matter of time. Eric is at his breaking point,” the source concluded.

The report comes just a day after Simpson hinted at her marriage troubles with an Instagram post. On Monday, she uploaded a black-and-white image of her in a skimpy silk dress with knee-high boots and a jacket. Her blonde tresses were styled into a center part as she accessorized with huge sunglasses and a simple necklace. “Live for what you’ve been told is impossible …preferably in kick ass @jessicasimpsonstyle boots ✨,” she captioned the post that advertised her fashion brand.
Fans immediately bombarded the comments, throwing questions at Simpson about the state of her marriage. “Is she single?” wondered one follower, while another wrote, “Where’s Eric?” A third comment read, “Give it up and spend more time with husband… not liking you.”
