Simpson, 44, went to Instagram on Monday, December 16 to share a sultry photo of herself leaning back in a chair in a room full of recording equipment. “I can’t wait for you all to hear the soundtrack of my soul 💿,” she told her 6 million followers in the caption.
Simpson wore a white satin top and skirt with a black jacket in the photo, teaming the look with black fishnet stockings that covered her waist. On her feet: black platform cowboy boots that made her look like a goth country singer. Simpson also flaunted a black statement necklace, a golden tan and kept her blonde hair long and styled on top. As for her face, she sported dramatic black eye makeup and a pink glossy lip.
It was Simpson’s first post on social media since November, when she posted a series of smoldering shots and revealed that he is making new music again after a long hiatus.
“Interviews in my music room in Nashville where I unleashed my unique magic,” she wrote on Monday, November 11. “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I didn’t deserve 🎶 🎼 🤍🖤.”
Simpson, who has had hits like “I Wanna Love You Forever” and “I Think I’m In Love With You,” last released an album in 2010. with Merry Christmas. Since last year, she has started talking about reclaiming her pop star past.
“Now I do this as a mother, as a wife. Last time I was a wife, but this is a very different marriage,” she said commotion during an interview in 2023. “And they’ve never seen me do that.”
In April, Simpson uploaded a photo from a recording studio through X and seemingly hinted at her next venture. her sister Ashlee Simpsonconfirmed exclusively for Us Weekly that Jessica was “in the studio.”
Ashley, who teased that she’ll be releasing new music soon, said us in June, “So look how we both come. … There is more to come and you will hear from Jess soon.”
Since his last album, Simpson has focused on her family — which includes son Ace, 11, and daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, who she shares with Johnson.
A source confirmed ex us in November that Simpson and Johnson, 45, were “they live separately now” after they were spotted without their wedding rings.
A second insider revealed that the couple planned to spend the holidays as a family although they are not under the same roof.
“Jessica and Eric plan to be all together for the holidays with the kids,” the source said us at that time. “It’s all about the kids and the family. They don’t hate each other.”
Simpson and the former NFL player began dating in 2010. after his divorce from Nick Lachey and Carey D’Angelo. Johnson proposed to Simpson within six months, and they married in July 2014.
A third insider noted on us that Simpson and Johnson are “trying to work out a breakup without disrupting their children’s lives as much as possible.”
“They’re both really committed to the kids’ well-being and trying to figure out what’s best for them,” the source added.
Although neither Simpson nor Johnson have addressed their marital status, a fourth insider said us that the singer is “heartbroken” and it wasn’t an “easy decision” to make.
Simpson, who was previously married to Lachey, 51, from 2002 to 2006, has previously been open about her partnership with Johnson.
“In terms of my marriage to Eric, I’ve never felt more alone or freer,” Simpson exclusively speaking us in February 2020. “Eric and I have a real mind, body (and) soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am certainly in this marriage and in this life with Eric by my side with free will!”
