AceShowbiz - Amidst growing chatter among parents at the exclusive Los Angeles school that her children attend, Jessica Simpson has been notably absent from recent school events. According to a PageSix source, Jessica's husband Eric Johnson has been attending solo, fueling rumors that the couple may have separated.

Simpson, 44, has added to the speculation by posting a cryptic message on Instagram, teasing her return to music and hinting at personal struggles. "This comeback is personal...an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve," she wrote.

The "With You" singer has also been seen without her wedding ring for months, posting Instagram photos without it regularly. Simpson and Johnson, who have three children together, have been married since 2014.

Despite younger sister Ashlee Simpson's recent denial of the couple's split rumors, two sources close to Jessica Simpson revealed she has reportedly contacted Los Angeles-based divorce attorneys, claiming she is unhappy in her marriage.

Neither Johnson nor Simpson's representative has responded to requests for comment. Nevertheless, Simpson's social media activity and the gossip among parents at her children's school have kept the rumors swirling.

Simpson's absence from school events, cryptic social media posts, and lack of a wedding ring have fueled speculation about a potential split between her and Johnson. As the rumors continue to circulate, only time will tell whether the couple will address the situation or if the whispers of separation will become a reality.
