UPDATE: Jessica Simpson revealed that her ex-husband, Eric Johnson, joined her family for Thanksgiving celebrations, demonstrating their commitment to co-parenting following their split. In a conversation with TMZ, the 45-year-old singer confirmed Johnson’s attendance, stating, “Of course. That’s my kids’ father.” This family-first approach highlights their amicable relationship as they navigate post-divorce life.
The Thanksgiving gathering took place on November 28, 2023, with Simpson noting that “all their grandparents” were present. Simpson emphasized the importance of respect in co-parenting, sharing that “unconditional love’s important.” She told Us Weekly earlier this year, “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them.”
Despite their separation, Simpson and Johnson have been spotted together multiple times, including a recent flight from Burbank to Las Vegas in August. While their children were not on the trip, the couple was seen sitting together, further indicating their commitment to maintaining a positive relationship.
In February 2025, Simpson affirmed that she and Johnson remained on good terms, expressing gratitude for their children and the support they’ve received during this transition. “At least I have my children and I still have Eric. He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be,” she stated.
Simpson and Johnson first met in May 2010, becoming engaged just six months later. They were married in July 2014, in Montecito, California. Simpson recently shared her thoughts on dating post-separation, saying, “I think I’m into younger men at the moment.”
As she embarks on a new chapter in her life, Simpson also made headlines by reviving her music career, releasing new songs after a 15-year hiatus.
This Thanksgiving marks a significant moment for the family as they prioritize their children’s well-being while navigating their new normal. Stay tuned for more updates on Simpson and Johnson’s journey as they continue to redefine their relationship for the sake of their family.
