Jessica Simpson’s husband, Eric Johnson, slipped off his wedding ring amid reports that the couple is on the brink of divorce after 10 years.
In photos obtained by The Post, Johnson, 45, can be seen without the precious metal piece on his ring finger as rumors continue to swirl that his 10-year marriage to Simpson is over.
The former NFL star was photographed on a walk with his parents in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Wearing a dark hoodie with jeans, Johnson accessorized his laid-back look with a backward baseball cap and sunglasses — with his bare finger on display.
His decision not to wear his wedding ring is only fueling the divorce rumors, as a source told People that the pair have been living “separate lives.”
“She’s working on music and splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville. Eric spends all of his time in LA, where the kids go to school,” the insider told the outlet on Thursday. “Jess and Eric very much live separate lives.”
The Post has reached out to Simpson’s rep for comment.
Johnson isn’t the only one who’s been spotted without a ring lately.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Simpson hadn’t been sporting her diamond for several months.
“Hasn’t posted a pic of her husband in a year,” one person commented via Instagram on Sept. 23. Another social media user chimed in, “Where is the wedding ring ??? Ugh dang it. Another one bites the dust 😢”
A third person wrote, “She reminds me of a newly single girl in her latest posts 🤷🏻♀️.”
Page Six gave fans’ observations more weight when a source claimed that Simpson and Johnson quit attending their kids’ school events together in recent months.
The singer’s last Instagram feed post with her husband was on Sept. 19, 2023, for his 44th birthday.
“My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my own,” Simpson captioned the sweet family shot. “We love youuuu.”
Simpson and Johnson said “I do” on July 5, 2014. The pair share three children: daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 3, and son Ace, 11.
