Jessica Simpson has left fans aflutter with her latest social media offering, with rumors beginning to swirl about not only her marriage to Eric Johnson but also a kind of throwback quality that sounds decidedly like her music days. Posting a few glossy snaps on Instagram to accompany a personal, reflective, and somewhat cryptic caption, some fans may assume she’s dropping some sort of divorce bombshell with her husband Eric Johnson, with whom she shares three sons. Simpson, in what was heard through his words, assumed the connotation of a journey of personal rediscovery that fans would love to see.
Underneath her Instagram post on Monday, the 44-year-old pop star-turned-designer wrote: “Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic.” She then added: “This is personal for me it’s like an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve ???? ???? ????????.” The glamorous series of photos of Simpson in the post, paired with the caption, immediately had fans buzzing with varied speculations regarding a possible breakup. Shortly, the Instagram comments of the star were full of messages from her followers, who couldn’t help but wonder if the words spelled the end to her marriage with Johnson.
Is Jessica essentially saying she’s single?” one fan bluntly asked. “I think her photos have been saying that for months,” another pointed out. Others noticed that she did not sport a wedding ring in most of her recent posts, thereby fueling even more guessing games. Yet another comment simply said: It’s National Singles Day, queen ????.
Simpson and Johnson have been married since 2014, and they have three kids, Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie. Earlier, Simpson had posted a solo that created rumors, but soon the paparazzi caught them up together in some event or family outings that drowned those rumors. This past week, however, the kind of few joint appearances on social media along with a reflective tone from Simpson’s latest post have again sparked fans about their relationship status.
Besides her marital gossip, Simpson’s so-called “comeback” talk is what started causing a lot of buzz about possibly going back to music. Even though her fans stayed with her all these years, she relegated her music career less into the mainstream and brought more to the fore her business ventures most successful of which was her fashion brand.
Simpson’s last major release was the album Do You Know, made available for sale in 2008. The album was an endeavor by Simpson to redefine herself as a country music artist, an effort that went sour and led to her losing the record label. Simpson recently stated in an interview that the business requirements around her previous music life were just too crushing since she was often not consulted on matters.
Reflecting on that period, she said, “It wasn’t my decision to have producers that cost a million dollars a track. I didn’t have control over those budgets. We were just yes-people. And in saying yes to everything, I lost it all.” Her words intimated frustrations she had faced within the music industry and that her return might be more genuine and controlled.
As much as Simpson has stayed away from music, she admits to being surprised and thankful about the still present interest from fans in an interview with Bustle in July 2023. “It boggles my mind that I’ve stayed relevant and that people are curious,” she said. “Because I have not entertained.”. I haven’t entertained at all,” she said in an interview. “I was using that time to figure out who I wanted to be for myself.” Those lines have underlined her dedication to staying true to herself, and the new Instagram post suggests she’s ready to put her newfound understanding into music.
While Simpson has not made anything regarding the break-up rumors, her fans are still torn apart; some wish that the cryptic post was purely related to her music come-back, while others consider it a dual statement regarding both her personal and professional life. “I think it’s her saying she has new music coming out!” another fan commented.
Simpson’s life journey had its fair share of ups and downs on professional and personal grounds. Simpson is also famously married to Nick Lachey, her co-star from a very early 2000s reality television show called Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. Fans were given an up-close look at their marriage but ultimately ended up getting divorced in 2006. Simpson seems to have found stability and happiness with Johnson, the former NFL player, and the couple often gives little peeks at family life to fans.
Whatever the rumors are, Simpson is frank about what she has been doing: this comeback is about getting back her voice and worth. Fans eagerly wait for her update on music with curious ears to know what Simpson has in store. The next chapter warned by the “With You” singer goes to the heart. Whether it is a new album a fresh turn in music or something else, her supporters are ready to cheer for her.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Jessica Simpson, but if this latest post on her is anything to go by, this star appears to be bent on making sure this comeback is one to remember—that both as an artist and as a person.
