JESSICA Simpson is reportedly still living with ex Eric Johnson more than a year after their separation, according to a new report.
Sources claim the former couple has continued sharing their Hidden Hills, California, home while focusing on their three children, according to Radar Online.
Insiders say the living arrangement is meant to help ease the transition for their family, even as Simpson is said to be making it clear that she and Johnson have not reunited romantically. The pair separated after 10 years of marriage.
“Things are very complicated between them because they’re living together,” an insider said.
“Jessica insists it’s just for the kids – she said the change was too hard on them, so she agreed to this compromise while they slowly adjust.
The report also claims Johnson would be open to giving the relationship another chance, while people close to Simpson allegedly believe the situation has become emotionally complicated.
“It wouldn’t be a big deal except Eric would love to give the marriage another shot, so it does seem like she’s playing with his heart by doing this,” said the source.
Their home was reportedly listed for sale in January 2025 for $17.9 million and has since gone on and off the market.
Neither Simpson nor Johnson has publicly commented on the latest claims.
