Jessica Simpson is confidently navigating single life a year after separating from her estranged husband, Eric Johnson.
In a recent interview with TMZ, the singer playfully dismissed the idea of starring in “The Bachelorette,” stating, “I have options. I’m good.” She added that she doesn’t care about the potential ratings boost her appearance might bring to the show. When pressed about her dating preferences, Simpson avoided specifics but has previously shared details about her ideal partner.
Last July, she revealed on the “Today” show that she prioritizes finding “a very good kisser,” explaining, “Grab my face and pull me in!” She also emphasized seeking someone distinctive, noting, “I don’t have like, a look… I just like for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego.” Open to younger suitors, Simpson told Extra in October, “I feel like younger guys kinda like the confidence of an older woman,” adding, “I am having fun!”
Simpson and Johnson announced their separation in January 2025 after a decade of marriage. They share three children: daughters Maxwell, 13, and Birdie, 6, and son Ace, 12. Despite splitting, they spent Thanksgiving together with their kids, indicating an amicable co-parenting relationship. Sources previously cited trust issues and growing apart as reasons for their divorce, while Simpson’s song “Leave” hinted at infidelity.
Before Johnson, Simpson was married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006 and dated high-profile figures like John Mayer, Adam Levine, and Tony Romo. She remains optimistic about love, stating, “I have a lot to give.”
