Jessica Simpson’s Sister Ashlee Simpson Addresses Breakup Speculation

Ashlee Simpson is giving it all away.

And she isn’t mincing her words to do it. Because when it comes to the rumors that her sister Jessica Simpson has split from husband Eric Johnson, Ashlee was more than ready to set the record straight.

So when TMZ asked if there was any truth to the divorce rumors while she was on a walk with husband Evan Ross, Ashlee answered with a simple and succinct, “No.”

And she didn’t look back.

The clarification comes amid mounting speculation that Jessica and Eric—who tied the knot in 2014 and share daughters Maxwell, 12, Birdie, 5, and son Ace, 11—are calling are ending their marriage.

Not only has Jessica been seen out and about without her ring, but the accessory has also been conspicuously absent from many of her recent Instagram posts.

More conspicuously absent has been Eric. While the former NFL player is not on social media much himself, he’s often been featured on Jessica’s social accounts—until recently.
