Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have announced their spit after first tying the knot in 2014.

The singer, 44, and her former NFL player husband, 45, revealed that they are navigating a ‘painful situation’ in their marriage as they announced their split.

The couple has three children together and emphasised in their statement that they come first.

‘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.

Jessica’s statement to People concluded: ‘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.’

The couple first began dating 15 years ago after they met through a mutual friend in 2010.

Both John and Jessica had been previously married with Jessica famously marrying Nick Lachey from 2002 until 2006.

Eric was also previously married to stylist Keri Johnson whom he divorced in 2010.

They announced their engagement the same year they met after a whirlwind six-month romance.

In July 2014 they married at a ranch in Santa Barbara in front of 250 guests, with their eldest two children acting as ring bearer and flower girl.

They have three children: a daughter named Maxwell Drew Johnson, 12, a son named Ace Knute Johnson, 11, and another daughter named Birdie Mae Johnson, five.

The couple has been open about their marriage in the past. In 2022,  Jessica told People: ‘I feel like every moment with us, we’re growing as long as we’re communicating, and our love is only deepening.’

She added: ‘I feel like Eric and I learn from each other so much. I feel like we’re stronger than ever now, [more] than we were even at the beginning.’

In 2023, Jessica also shared family pictures and a sweet tribute to her husband as she praised him on his birthday.

‘Eric turned 44 on Sept 15 and his family gave him all the love cells we have to celebrate his life. My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my own….We love youuuu,’ read the caption.
