Jessica Simpson and her estranged husband Eric Johnson have been spotted traveling together to Las Vegas.
In photos published by multiple outlets including TMZ and Page Six on Friday, August 29, the previous couple were photographed boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank to Las Vegas.
Photos showed Simpson and Johnson, each 45, sitting in the identical row throughout the flight with a middle seat left empty between them. Their kids didn’t seem like traveling with their parents for the trip. (Simpson and Johnson share Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6.)
Once they touched down in Sin City, the pair remained tight-lipped on their current relationship status when asked by a TMZ reporter but indicated they were on the town to see the Newlywed alum’s sister Ashlee perform. Ashlee is as a consequence of take the stage at Voltaire on the Venetian Resort on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30.
The trip comes lower than a 12 months after Simpson announced her separation from Johnson after 10 years of marriage.
“Eric and I even have been living individually, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson told Us Weekly in an announcement on January 13. “Our youngsters come first, and we’re specializing in what’s best for them. We’re grateful for all the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy immediately as we work through this as a family.”
A source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that Simpson had been having fun with “a brand new sense of confidence and is coming back into her own” following the break-up.
“She’s doing well for the reason that split,” the insider previously told Us. “She’s a unique person since she’s been out of the connection.”
Based on the source, Simpson’s 10-year marriage had been “holding her down,” and he or she “wasn’t comfortable for a very long time” as a consequence of “trust and communication issues” that “just got larger.”
In February 2025, Simpson confirmed to People she and Johnson were on good terms despite going their separate ways.
“I don’t know why my heart gets tossed around, but I’m certainly one of the lucky ones,” she told the outlet. “At the least I even have my children and I still have Eric. He’s still very much an element of my life and can all the time be.”
Simpson and Johnson met in May 2010 and the previous NFL player popped the query just six months later. The pair tied the knot in July 2014 in front of family and friends in Montecito, California.
