Is Jessica Simpson’s marriage over as she secretly aspires to be like friend, Kim Kardashian? Jessica has built a clothing, shoe, and accessories empire. So, is she following Kim’s lead and moving on to mogul status? Keep reading for more details.
Is Jessica Simpson’s Marriage Over As She Aims To Be A Kardashian?
Jessica Simpson thought she had found the one in former football player, Eric Johnson. She had been married once before to performer, Nick Lachey. However, Jessica was building her brand, and working on an acting career whereas Nick was at somewhat of a standstill. Admittedly, there was stress in the marriage due to a power balance so they called it quits. She would go on to date John Mayer and Tony Romo but it was Eric who stole her heart. Together, they had three children and she started to find herself even more. Jessica got sober and wrote a memoir.
More so, she seemed at peace in her life while continuing to build her brand which includes luggage, accessories, bedding, and her signature shoes. That being said, Jessica is worth an estimated $200 million per Celebrity Net Worth. She has built this alongside her mother, Tina Simpson but she is also friends with fellow mogul, Kim Kardashian. Kim’s daughter, North West is close friends with Jessica’s eldest, Maxwell Drew so it is a very small world. So, does Jessica want to follow in Kim’s footsteps?
Kim is an independent single mother of four who left her marriage to Kanye West. There have long been rumors that Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are on the rocks with her ditching her wedding ring. According to Life & Style, she is ready to file for divorce. An insider had this to say about the songstress who is also set to release new music:
“Lately, Jessica has been reevaluating her happiness, her marriage and her business empire, and she is ready to start fresh. It’s pretty much over between her and Eric; it’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce.”
Though a divorce with three children can be scary, Jessica has Kim to look up to:
“She wants to grow her empire to the next level and has really been inspired by Kim Kardashian.”
Kim has been married four times, has four kids with Kanye, and still dominates everything she touches.
The Ultimate Downfall
So, what has caused Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson to fall apart? It is really two people who have changed especially after she got sober seven years ago. That gave her more clarity and made her reevaluate her thinking. However, they did whatever they could in an attempt to make it work:
“They tried couples counseling, which worked for a while, but then things went back to the way they were. They don’t spend nearly as much time together as they used to, and they’ve just grown apart.”
