Singer and actress Jessica Simpson and her husband, former NFL player Eric Johnson, have separated after 10 years of marriage.
“Eric and I are living apart and going through a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson, 44, told people in a press release Monday.
“Our children come first and we focus on what is best for them. We are grateful for all the love and support that has come our way, and appreciate privacy at this time as we work through this situation as a family.
The couple, who married in 2014 after four years of dating, share three children: Maxwell “Maxi” Drew, 12, Ace Knute, 11, and Birdie Mae, 5.
Simpson was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006. Johnson played for the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints.
