Simpson’s return to music comes after a seven-year journey of sobriety and a highly publicized 100-pound weight loss.

Her striking new look has kept her in the spotlight, with fans frequently discussing her bold fashion choices and a notable absence of her wedding ring in recent posts.

Last month, Simpson added to the intrigue by posting another studio photo captioned, “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

This cryptic message fueled speculation about her personal life, particularly her marriage to Eric Johnson, 45.

Jessica Simpson's marital struggles and split rumors

Speculation about Jessica Simpson’s marriage intensified after Eric Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring three days later.

Despite Simpson’s sister, Ashlee Simpson, attempting to shut down the rumors, sources revealed that the couple may be living separately.

An insider close to the family shared, “Jessica and Eric are living separately right now.”

Another tipster explained, “In years past, Jess always attended events at the school either solo or with Eric.”

“Recently, it’s just been Eric. As you can imagine, there’s been a lot of gossip among the parents,” the source added, according to Page Six.

Simpson, who tied the knot with the former San Francisco 49ers tight end in 2014, shares three children with Johnson, daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11.

Comparisons to other celebrities, including Kim Zolciak, Christina Hall, Ivanka Trump, Paris Hilton, and even the Kardashians, flooded the comments section.

"I thought this was Ivanka Trump at first," a user commented while another wrote, "I didn’t know there was a Jessica Kardashian."

“I see she's just like all the other celebrities. She's changed her looks so much she's not even recognizable anymore,” one user criticized, and someone remarked, “These ladies in Hollywood all look alike. I honestly can’t tell them apart. They’re pretty but they look the same.”

Others expressed confusion, with one saying, “That is not Jessica Simpson. No way,” and another agreeing, “Doesn’t even look like the same person anymore, nowhere close to.”
