Jessica Simpson on Healing and Co-Parenting After Split from Eric Johnson
Jessica Simpson’s journey of self-discovery continues as she navigates life post-separation from her husband of ten years, Eric Johnson. In an exclusive chat with People Magazine, Simpson, who just debuted her first single, “Use My Heart Against Me,” from her upcoming EP *Nashville Canyon: Part 1*, is all about empowerment and healing through music, right off the heels of their separation announcement.
Despite the emotional upheaval, Jess insists that Eric is still an integral part of her life as they focus on co-parenting their three children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5. “He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be,” she shared, emphasizing a sense of family amid the changes. The duo has found a new groove in raising their kids, spending time together at their rental home in Franklin, Tennessee, while she works on her music in Nashville—her own form of therapy.
In this reflective phase, Simpson acknowledges the growth she’s experienced through the years. “I’ve grown up so much. I can handle so much,” she remarked, exploring themes of love and resilience. Let’s be real—Simpson has been through the wringer, evolving from a pop sensation to a seasoned woman who takes command of her musical and personal narrative. “At least I have my children and I still have Eric,” she said, underscoring her gratitude amid the heartache.
The upcoming collection features five soulful tracks, and her Nashville-inspired sound seems to encapsulate her fearless attitude. “Discovering this music is something I did on my own,” she explained, showcasing her embrace of freedom in her artistry. Simpson is not just making a statement through her songs; she’s also redefining herself for a new chapter.
As she transitions into this exciting new phase, fans can expect *Nashville Canyon* to drop on March 21, promising a more authentic Jessica, ready to reclaim her voice and narrative.
