Why Jessica Simpson went for a glamorous makeover amid reports of divorce with Eric Johnson

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jessica Simpson recently gave her 6.3 million followers a glimpse of her new look which appears to be a result of the emotional turmoil she's experiencing amid her marriage struggles with Eric Johnson.

This comes amid ongoing reports that Simpson has separated from her husband of ten years.

In her post, the star stunned in a black jacket over a beige silk top and skirt, paired with a fishnet bodysuit and black heeled cowboy boots. She accentuated her features with false lashes and a glossy pink lip, capturing attention with her bold, yet elegant style.

Jessica Simpson's new look makes her 'feel good'

Sources shared with DailyMail that Jessica Simpson appears to be emotionally affected by her relationship struggles. One source revealed, “Jessica is hurting because her relationship with Eric is in a stage where it is a complete drama and emotion filled rollercoaster.”

The source explained that her new look serves as a way to boost her mood amid the turmoil, saying, “She doesn't know if it is going up or down from one minute to another. And one way to make her feel good is by changing her look with clothes, makeup etc. It takes her out of the seriousness of life and drowns out the business and difficulties of being a mom.”

The insider also noted that people are beginning to question the state of Simpson’s relationship, with some suggesting it might be a midlife crisis. “But she is looking at it as she's still got it and wants to flaunt it,” the source said.

The source further explained how Simpson is focusing on her own well-being, “If it leads her back to Eric in a more loving relationship, great, if she separates from him, she'll be ready because she'll be in a good place within herself. That is what she is working towards, to be OK with herself and then everything else will fall into place. She's always working on herself.”

Insiders report that Eric Johnson is not 'focusing on how' Jessica Simpson looks

When it comes to how Jessica Simpson's reportedly estranged husband, Eric Johnson, has reacted to her new look, a source explained, “Eric is not focusing on how she looks, he's focusing on getting her back and to be in love again. They have fallen in and out of love over the last few years, and he is trying to figure out how to get his family back in order.”

The source continued, “It starts with communication, and he hasn't done that well of late. And to tell the truth, she hasn't either. If they figure that out, then all will be well. The next few months should be very interesting, it will be a gamechanger.”

Another insider noted that Simpson’s transformation reflects her desire to feel good about herself without relying on her husband’s approval.

The insider shared, “Jessica says her marriage has been a rollercoaster for years and she does take accountability for the parts where she knows she messed up. Jess’s recent glow-up has given her a new outlook on life though and she feels he doesn’t truly appreciate the beauty that she is.”

The source added, “She isn’t really present in the marriage anymore and she says that neither of them seems to care. He was there for her every step of the way, working alongside her for many of her ventures.”

The singer married the former NFL tight end in 2014. The couple shares three children: 12-year-old Maxwell, 11-year-old Ace, and 5-year-old Birdie Mae.

Jessica and Eric marked their 10th wedding anniversary last summer, but rumors have surfaced that they’ve been living separate lives for nearly a year. The speculation grew as photos surfaced of Simpson without her wedding ring.
