Earlier this week, Jessica Simpson shocked her fans by confirming to PEOPLE that she and her husband, Eric Johnson, were getting a divorce.
They had been married for 10 years and share three kids together: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie Mae, 5.
Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.
Sources say even though the split is still fresh, they’ve already worked together to create a schedule that works for the both of them as they navigate co-parenting.
They have already figured out a new schedule for the kids. They’re both great parents. The kids will always come first. They are co-parenting. Jess is doing okay. She’s grateful for her kids.
Sounds like they’re making the best out of a terrible situation. We don’t know the details surrounding the split, but sometimes people just grow apart. After 10 years together, maybe they just weren’t on the same page anymore.
At least, we hope it’s something like that, and not infidelity.
