Jessica Simpson seen without her wedding ring at Los Angeles airport amid Eric Johnson divorce rumors

Jessica Simpson was spotted at Los Angeles LAX airport looking happy as she took a selfie with a friend.

The Dukes of Hazzard star, 44, was noticeably not wearing her wedding ring amid rumors of a split from her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson.

Jessica wore a black coat with a shearling collar, multi-colored pants and black platform boots.

Her brunette friend laughed as newlyweds Nick and Jessica’s reality star took the photo.

Jessica, who recently celebrated seven years of sobriety, sparked split rumors after not wearing her engagement ring, not posting a photo of Eric on her very active social media accounts since April and not publicly pay tribute to him on his birthday.

Now a source has sensationally claimed: “It’s pretty much over. It’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce,” according to In touch.

Simpson and Johnson were last seen together in public in June, when they attended Birdie’s kindergarten graduation together.

The singer wasn’t wearing her wedding ring on this occasion – or when she was spotted out and about in Los Angeles earlier this month.

The couple share daughters Max, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11.

Simpson did not publicly wish Johnson happy birthday on his 45th birthday on September 15, although she did write a heartfelt tribute to him on Instagram after he turned 44 last year.

Instead, last month, on Johnson’s 45th birthday, Simpson cryptically reposted a clip of Pastor Timothy Timberlake giving a speech on forgiveness.

“Forgiveness doesn’t change the person who hurt you. Are you listening to me? Forgiveness does not change that person. Forgiveness changes you,” he said.

“Guess what forgiveness doesn’t do? Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. One of the craziest theories is that we forgive and forget. You don’t forget, but you have the opportunity to forgive whenever you remember.

In contrast, after Johnson’s birthday in 2023, Simpson posted: “Eric turned 44 on September 15th and his family gave him every cell of love we have to celebrate his life. My heart is so taken by this man that I could hardly call him mine… We love you.

However, in recent months, Johnson has been absent from Simpson’s Instagram page, where she has been seen multiple times posing without her engagement ring.

In early September, shortly before Johnson’s birthday, Simpson released a back-to-school album with her kids — and her left fourth finger was bare again.

Last year, Simpson moved to Nashville part-time to work on new music, after not releasing an album since 2010’s Happy Christmas.

Although her husband and children were able to spend the summer of 2023 with her in Nashville, they ultimately returned to Los Angeles because of school, while Simpson split her time between the two cities.
