More than a decade after meeting in 2010, Jessica Simpson and former NFL player Eric Johnson are still head over heels for each other.
In fact, it was love at first sight for Simpson, who recalled her chance May 2010 meeting with Johnson in an Instagram post in May 2020, writing, “He knocked on my dreamy cottage door (sigh), I let him in and never let him leave.” She noted that she “fell head over slippers in love” on that day.
Johnson proposed to Simpson in November 2010 after six months of dating, but it wasn’t until four years later that the pair walked down the aisle.
The couple, both of whom were married before — Simpson to Nick Lachey and Johnson to Keri D’Angelo — welcomed daughter Maxwell and son Ace before saying “I do” in July 2014.
Five years later, Johnson and Simpson expanded their family once more, welcoming daughter Birdie in March 2019.
The following year, Simpson released her autobiography, Open Book, in February 2020, and detailed how Johnson has continued to support her journey.
“In terms of my marriage to Eric, I have never felt more myself or more free,” Simpson exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting the best-seller. “Eric and I have a true mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am most certainly in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!”
