Jessica Simpson knew in her heart she had to leave Eric Johnson.
As Perezcious readers know, the singer confirmed she and the former football player are going their separate ways following months of rumors. Although Jessica did not say why their decade-long marriage is over, sources spilled the tea and claimed the pair had been experiencing problems in their relationship for quite some time. They had “trust issues” — possibly due to Eric’s alleged solo drinking and partying ways, during which he got a little too flirty while not wearing his wedding ring. Yikes.

Jessica did say they were “navigating a painful situation.” Could it have been that Eric cheated while out by himself, and that is the “painful situation” she’s talking about? Hmm. No word yet. But whatever marriage troubles the former couple experienced behind the scenes took such a toll on her health that the former reality star realized she needed to be done. Their differences just became way too much to handle! A source told People on Wednesday:
“Their marital issues have felt suffocating for a while. She needs to move on for her own well-being.”
So sad…
Thankfully, Jessica seems to be in a better place now. Of course, as another insider previously pointed out, she has “good days and bad days” but she has been “handling the separation well, all things considered.” What helps is that Jessica has an outlet to vent about everything going on in the breakup — music! An album reportedly is even on the way soon, too! Amazing! Good for her!
It sounds like Jess is finally able to breathe again. Reactions? Drop ’em in the comments!
