<p id=”par-1_48″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jessica-simpson/?swcfpc=1″>Jessica Simpson</a> has gone beyond “<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jessica-simpsons-doing-ok-co-parenting-eric-johnson-amid-split.html/”>doing OK</a>” amid her split from Eric Johnson. She’s reportedly focused on herself and her kids, rather than “worry[ing]” about her estranged husband. The 44-year-old is even said to be “happy and healthy” as she embarks on a new chapter of her life. </p>

<p id=”par-2_35″>Although Simpson’s in the process of officially splitting from her husband of 10 years she’s “happy and healthy,” a source told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/inside-jessica-simpsons-life-after-eric-johnson-split/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a>. The singer-turned-fashion CEO isn’t concerning herself with what her estranged husband’s doing. </p>
<p id=”par-3_47″>“She isn’t going to worry about [what he is doing] and is doing her thing too,” the source said. “She has her own mind, money, and family support for whatever happens.” (Simpson’s built a multi-million dollar fortune thanks to the success of her Jessica Simpson Collection brand.) </p>
<p id=”par-4_49″>Put simply Johnson, whom Simpson met in 2010, “is not what she needs.” However, the 45-year-old former pro athlete is a “great dad” to his and Simpson’s three children: Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5. “She has the best kids and they are healthy and love is there.” </p>
<p id=”par-5_26″>This comes after reports Simpson was “heartbroken” by the breakdown of her and Johnson’s marriage. “[It was] not an easy decision for her,” the insider said.</p>

<p id=”par-6_40″>Things between Simpson and Johnson had reportedly been “over” for some time leading up to their split. “It’s definitely over,” a source told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/jessica-simpsons-inner-circle-wondering-whats-wrong-with-her-excl/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch</a> in November 2024. “Jessica is still adjusting to her new reality and stretching her wings.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_32″>“The spark is just gone,” they added. “Couples counseling worked for a while. But then things went back to the way they were and they grew apart. She’s ready to start fresh.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_54″>Changes in the “Irresistible” singer’s life, namely giving up alcohol, led her to reevaluate the marriage. “Eric was always supportive of her as she faced her addiction issues, getting sober changed a lot of her priorities,” the source continued. “She reevaluated every aspect of her life and thought about what truly brings her happiness.”</p>
