Jessica Simpson on the brink of filing for divorce from her husband Eric Johnson, split could be a messy legal battle over her $200 million fortune

Eric Johnson and Jessica Simpson's divorce could devolve into a complete skip fire as they quarrel over her $200 million. If the singer and entrepreneur divorces her husband of ten years, she could lose millions of dollars.

According to reports, Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson are about to file for divorce, and their split may turn into a contentious legal dispute over her alleged $200 million fortune.

Reports claim that although Jessica and Eric lead different lives, they share custody of their three kids. Six years after he declared his NFL retirement, the couple got married in 2014.


After playing for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers, he is reportedly worth about $10 million, as quoted in a report by The US Sun. Through her fashion business, brand deals, and music career, Jessica is believed to have accumulated a significant amount of wealth over the years.

Andrew Zashin, a founding partner at Zashin Law and a divorce lawyer with experience in high net worth splits, offered his thoughts on the case. He warned that if they don't have their priorities straight and hire competent counsel to avoid court and needless publicity, the situation could become a dumpster fire.

According to Andrew, a 'good' lawyer is not a gladiator but a creative problem solver who tries to find 'win-win' situations wherever possible and preserve the parties' wealth and even help to pass it along to future generations. Some cases simply blow up and turn into obscene circuses.

Jessica hinted at feeling wronged in a recent cryptic post while recording music in Tennessee. She posted a photo of herself in the studio, with the caption, "This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve."

Jessica and Eric have not been wearing their wedding bands for months, and have not denied reports they are no longer together.
