AceShowbiz - Jessica Simpson took to Instagram on Thursday, December 26, sharing two stunning portraits that have reignited rumors about the state of her marriage to Eric Johnson (II). In the photos, Simpson is captured in a sleeveless black halter gown, her left hand raised prominently, exposing the absence of her wedding bands.

This has raised concerns as Simpson has been repeatedly spotted without her rings in both public appearances and social media posts. Speculation has mounted that the couple may have split after months of reports of friction in their relationship.

Sources close to the couple have alleged that Eric has grown weary of Jessica's "crazy mood swings" and that she feels their marriage has lost its spark. Eric, who has been absent from Simpson's social media feed since April, is said to find it difficult to cope with her obsession with surgery and alleged detachment from reality.

In October, Simpson shared a cryptic Instagram post that appeared to hint at her frustrations in her love life. "This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve," she wrote.

Rumors of a separation have also been fueled by the couple's lack of public appearances together. Since their daughter Birdie's kindergarten graduation in June, they have not been seen in public as a couple.

Despite these reports, Simpson and Johnson have not publicly addressed the rumors of their split. However, their actions and social media presence continue to fuel speculation that their marriage may be facing serious challenges.
