Jessica Simpson is shedding light on where things stand with her estranged husband Eric Johnson amid their divorce and swirling cheating rumors.
The pair announced their split in January after nearly 11 years of marriage and three children together, and Simpson has since hinted at infidelity on Johnson’s part in her fiery comeback track Leave.
In early April, the I Wanna Love You Forever singer, 44, and the former NFL star, 45, were spotted reuniting with their daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11 — along with what looked like Eric’s parents — signaling the two are working to co-parent despite the drama.
Now, a source reveals that Jessica and Eric are on surprisingly good terms.
‘They are getting along well and everyone seems to be very happy,’ the insider shared with USWeekly on Thursday.
‘They talk and see each other all the time and have decided that no matter what happens, they will get along for the kids.’

Despite the fact that neither has filed official divorce papers yet, the source made one thing clear: ‘Right now there is no talk of getting back together.’
But they didn’t shut the door entirely, teasing, ‘With Jessica and Eric, you never know.’
‘They love each other and will always be supportive of one another,’ the insider added. ‘

‘For now, Jessica and Eric will be at a lot of holidays and birthdays together and just navigating their new truth.’
Simpson — who once famously called Eric her ‘Sєxual shaman’ — came back swinging with Leave, a track dripping with breakup venom.
The lyrics pull no punches:‘What we had was magic / Now you’ve made it tragic / Giving her what you gave to me / Now the well that you drank from is empty.’
She digs even deeper, singing: ‘Your weakness made me lonely / Unholy matrimony / Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees? / She’s everything but me.’
And she lands the final blow: ‘I want you to leave / I don’t even wanna breathe the air you breathe / I am stronger on my own / So hold on / I’m letting you go.’

Last month, Jessica opened up onstage at the Luck Reunion about confronting Eric just before things fell apart, saying her world ‘turned upside down’ after she followed her gut and asked ‘some very personal questions on the home front.’
These days, Simpson is embracing her single status, telling fans she’s a ‘very single lady.’
While their split may feel sudden to the public, whispers of trouble began as early as November 2024 when Jessica teased her new music on Instagram, writing, ‘This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve..’
Simpson was previously married to 98 Degrees frontman Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006, a relationship immortalized on their reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.
