Any Hope For Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Getting Back Together? They Do 'Have Love' For Each Other Still!

OK, so, this latest love (or... no-love) update on Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson is equal parts mature, mysterious, and... mildly heartbreaking. One year after their split, the former couple is still very much entwined in each other’s lives . But before anyone starts manifesting a fairytale reunion, slow your roll. Despite some recent chatter claiming these two might be inching their way back to Coupleville , a source is shutting that down hard. HARD .

Here’s what an insider told Us Weekly on Tuesday about any possible reconciliation hopes between the duo: “They’re not considering getting back together, but they have love and respect for each other.” Welp! That sentence alone says everything and nothing at the same time. Love? Yes. Respect? Absolutely. Rekindled romance with candlelit dinners and vows renewed? Noooope! Apparently, the energy here is about calm, stability, and keeping things drama-free for their three kids , Maxwell , Ace , and Birdie . Because when you’ve been together for a decade and built a family, you don’t just torch it all. To that end, the insider noted: “They are in no rush to file for divorce. [They are] focusing on their kids right now and will always put them first.” Well, that’s refreshing! As Perezcious readers will recall, Jessica announced back in January that they were living separately while navigating what she described as a painful situation. It was vague, sad, and very Jessica-coded in that emotional honesty she’s always had. Since then, she’s been channeling those feelings into music, dropping Nashville Canyon and serving lyrics about broken promises and unholy matrimony that felt extremely unsubtle.

They attended Ashlee Simpson ’s Vegas residency kickoff, spent Thanksgiving together, and are even reportedly planning to celebrate Christmas as a family at mom Tina Simpson ’s house. Co-parenting FTW? A huge part of Jessica’s healing has been getting back on stage after 15 years away. That’s meant reconnecting with fans and reclaiming her voice - literally and figuratively. The source noted: “She loved performing these last couple months and being up close and personal with her fans. ... She loved that fans connected to her new songs and can’t wait for more performances in 2026.” As for her love life, Jessica has admitted she’s open to dating again, and even teased an interest in younger men ! But don’t get it twisted: both she and Eric are still single and living separately. So is there hope for a reunion? Never say never in Hollywood, U guys. But for now, this looks less like a comeback romance and more like two people choosing respect and healing over forcing a second chapter that might not be written in the stars. Which might be the healthiest plot twist of all! Thoughts, y’all? Drop ’em...
