Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson have separated after 10 years of marriage.

“Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson, 44, told People in a statement Monday.

Our top priority is our children, and we are concentrating on their well-being. We are thankful for the love and encouragement we have received and kindly request privacy as we navigate this situation together as a family.

The pair’s marriage had been subject to breakup rumors for months, after eagle-eyed fans noticed that the former NFL pro, 45, hadn’t made an appearance on Simpson’s Instagram since 2023.

What’s more, the singer’s fans noticed that she hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring since Jan. 2024, with Johnson following suit in recent months.

The pair, who tied the knot in 2014 after four years of dating, share three children: Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 12, Ace Knute, 11, and Birdie Mae, 5.

The family was last week forced to lee their luxe California home amid the raging Los Angeles wildfires.

The “Irresistible” singer took to social media night to share a photo of her plush backyard being overtaken by plumes of smoke, forcing her and her family to evacuate.

“We stayed as long as we could 🙏🏼,” she captioned the image, shared with her 6.3 million followers on her Instagram Story.

While it’s unclear if they’ve returned or whether their home is in tact, alarm bells about the pair’s marriage woes were raised after Johnson was noticeably absent from a family photo shoot posted to Instagram by Simpson in early September.

As the fashion designer celebrated their kids’ first day back to school, the former athlete was nowhere to be seen in the snaps, or the caption.

“Maxwell, Ace and Birdie y’all make your Mom beam with smiles and grace!” she captioned the post.

“Keep on showin’ up for yourselves with each step of the way through this new school year!” she continued. “I’m so very proud of y’all for individually shining your light so that in return others feel the glow.”

News of the pair’s decision to call it quits comes just months after it was reported that they were living “separate lives.”

In photos obtained by The Post in November, Johnson was seen without his wedding ring on numerous occasions.

“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,” a source told People at the time. “Jess and Eric very much live separate lives.”

The duo kickstarted their romance in May 2010 when Johnson was still married to his first wife, Keri D’Angelo.

He and D’Angelo eventually finalized their divorce in Oct. 2010, giving way for his romance with Simpson to flourish.

He went on to marry the pop star in July 2014 in Santa Barbara, Calif., at the San Ysidro Ranch.

Simpson was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006.

Prior to that, she was in a relationship with John Mayer and was romantically linked to Tony Romo, Billy Corgan, Adam Levine and Johnny Knoxville.
