Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s divorce was a long time coming, according to insiders. In Us Weekly’s latest cover story, a source exclusively reveals that the estranged couple were living separate lives for more than a year before officially announcing their split, adding, “There were trust issues caused by the breakdown of their marriage.” Another insider tells Us that Simpson and Johnson, who tied the knot in 2014, tried to make their relationship work through counseling, “but it didn’t get them anywhere, and Jessica wasn’t interested in doing it again.” Following months of speculation about their marital status, Simpson confirmed the duo’s split in a statement to Us on January 13, noting that she and Johnson were focusing on their three children while “navigating a painful situation” in their relationship.
