AceShowbiz - Jessica Simpson, 44, was recently seen at Los Angeles International Airport sans her wedding ring, three months after celebrating her 10-year wedding anniversary with Eric Johnson, 45. The singer and fashion designer stepped out in a chic ensemble that included a plunging patterned slip, a leopard print coat, leather leggings, platform boots, chic shades, gold jewelry, and pink lipgloss, giving onlookers a glimpse of her ring-free finger.

The sighting has left many speculating about the state of Simpson's marriage. The couple, who wed in July 2014, share three children: daughters Maxwell Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, 5, as well as son Ace Knute, 11. Eric has been notably absent from several recent family events and Jessica's Instagram profile since April, as eagle-eyed fans have noted.

The speculation isn't new. Simpson's missing ring was already a talking point in June during a back-to-school photoshoot with her children and Birdie's kindergarten graduation. Recently, Jessica marked her kids' return to school with a series of Instagram posts showcasing their first-day outfits and expressing pride in their accomplishments, yet Eric was conspicuously absent from the snapshots.

Some fans, however, speculated that he might have been the one taking the photos, as a reflection of a man holding up a phone was noticed in a window behind Jessica and her children.

Additionally, sources have hinted at a possible "rocky patch" between the couple. Earlier this year, Radar Online reported that Jessica and Eric were "living separate lives," with Eric allegedly expressing difficulties in living with someone "so obsessed with surgery and so detached from reality." The source added that while Eric still loves Jessica, he does not want their children to grow up in a broken home.

Beyond her personal life, Simpson has also been in the spotlight for her dramatic weight loss journey. After giving birth to her three children, Jessica lost 100 pounds with the help of celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak by walking 14,000 steps a day and following a strict meal plan. She has openly acknowledged past struggles with weight and how it fueled her decision to launch The Jessica Simpson Collection, her own fashion line.

Although Jessica has not commented publicly on the state of her marriage, fans remain intrigued and hopeful for updates regarding the singer's personal and professional life.
