In January, two months after first sparking split rumors, Jessica Simpson announced that she and Eric Johnson had called it quits after 10 years of marriage. \u201cEric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,\u201d she told Us Weekly in [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Documents filed by the social media star in Harris County, Texas, indicated that there is no hope of reconciliation for the former couple and that they \u201cwill soon stop living together as husband and wife.\u201d Us<\/em> has reached out to both parties for comment.<\/p>\nVia his Instagram Story, Desmond offered his perspective on what led up to his marriage of nearly 12 years falling apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cKristy and I faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them,\u201d he explained. \u201cToward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate, and I had conversations with Kristy regarding this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Desmond acknowledged that he made \u201cchoices that I am not proud of\u201d while he was trying to work through his separation from Kristy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI took responsibility for those actions,\u201d he insisted. \u201cI shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce.
