EXCLUSIVEJessica Simpson has ‘already recorded a heartbreak album’ about husband Eric Johnson amid split

Jessica Simpson has already recorded brand-new music in Nashville, Tennessee.

She moved to Nashville in 2023 to reconnect with her country music ‘roots.’

And the siren has many songs on the album that have to do with heartbreak as she penned them when her marriage to Eric Johnson was unraveling, DailyMail.com has learned.

‘It will be about her broken heart, so, yeah, I guess you can call it a revenge, a heartbreak album,’ a source told DailyMail.com after the star announced on Monday she is living separately from Eric.

‘When Jessica writes music, she pours her heart into it and has no filter, it’s very personal. So the album will really be about the struggles she has been through at home. It is super emotional and shares her side of the story.

‘She has been working on the album for years, there is a lot in there.’ 

In addition to working in Nashville, she has been recording at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles.

They have separated after 10 years of marriage she told People; seen in 2015 in Venice, California

The last time she posted a pH๏τo with Eric to her Instagram page was in September 2023 so it seems the marital strife has been lingering for a while.

Jessica and Eric have split after 10 years of marriage, it was reported on Monday.

‘Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,’ the singer, 44, shared in a statement with People, in regards to her marriage to the former NFL player, 45.

‘Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family,’ she added.

The pair share three children: daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, five. 

The Take My Breath Away hitmaker — who’s had a number of high-profile romances — and the retired тιԍнт end tied said ‘I do’ back in 2014, after four years of dating. 

The star was last pictured wearing her wedding ring in 2023. Recently, Simpson was spotted sans wedding ring once again in December, adding fuel to the rumors that her decade-long marriage to Johnson was on the rocks. 

The couple hasn’t been spotted together since Birdie’s kindergarten graduation back in June 7, and Jessica’s Instagram has been conspicuously Eric-free since their Easter celebration on April 9.

Jessica raised eyebrows by failing to give Eric a birthday shout-out on his 45th birthday on September 10, further igniting rumors of a marital rift.

Adding fuel to the fire, the former NFL star has also been spotted without his wedding ring in recent outings.

Jessica fueled the chatter with a cryptic social media post on November 11 that appeared to throw shade at someone close to her.

‘Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,’ began the singer in her caption. ‘This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.’

Her quote raised eyebrows as followers tried to guess who made her put up with ‘everything I did not deserve.’

Simpson has previously teased her new music. 

In December, she shared, ‘I’m feelin’ extra grateful today for excitin’ new opportunities and inspirin’ meetings regardin’ music and new entertainment endeavors.’

Simpson previously explained how the children she shares with husband Eric Johnson inspired her to return to performing.

‘I’m doing this as a mother now, as a wife. I was a wife last time, but this is a very different marriage,’ she told Bustle in July 2023. 

Simpson previously explained how her children Maxwell 'Maxi' Drew, 12, Ace Knute, 11, and 5-year-old Birdie Mae, whom she shares with Johnson, inspired her to return to performing

The Dukes of Hazzard actress noted that her kids have ‘never seen’ her perform live, explaining Maxwell saw her first concert with Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West.

‘I have my daughter taking a private plane with North West to go see Katy Perry in Vegas,’ said Simpson. ‘And inside I’m like: “She was supposed to see me first.”

‘Then I’m like: “This is not compeтιтive, Jessica. Let your daughter enjoy Katy Perry.” But there’s moments that make me want to do it – for them to see that color of me,’ she added.

After releasing her last album Happy Christmas in 2010, Simpson said, ‘It boggles my mind that I’ve stayed relevant and that people are curious, because I have not entertained. I have not entertained at all.’

In September, Simpson explained to People that she took time off from her career to focus on her family after marrying Johnson in 2014.

‘I was too nervous to go back to my career until I felt my kids were confident enough in school and in life,’ she said in September. ‘I wanted to be a mom first.’ 

After spending the summer working on new music in Nashville, Simpson said her kids are ‘very excited, and they know that I’m living my dream and that’s what I was born to do. 

‘To have them experience that with me is going to be really beautiful,’ said Simpson.

In August, Simpson opened up about her sobriety after an online troll told her to stop drinking. 

‘I haven’t wanted or touched alcohol since October 2017 and it has been the best decision I’ve made for myself and for my family,’ she wrote.

‘Thank you for your concern, but you have me very misunderstood,’ added Simpson. ‘Sending love your way.’
