Jessica Simpson's Husband, Eric Johnson, Was Married When They Met

When football pro Eric Johnson began courting Jessica Simpson, he was going through a permanent separation from his now ex-wife, Keri D'Angelo. Years before Simpson came into the picture, the two wed on May 14, 2005. However, by October 2009, Johnson and D'Angelo's union began to unravel, sending the couple to divorce court by January 2010. The paperwork was finalized in October of that year. They did not have children, which left one less point of debate when completing their split.

Just one month after the ink dried on the documents, Johnson popped the question to Simpson. As the shoe designer went back and forth about an official wedding date, the two began growing their family, with the birth of their daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1, 2012. A little over a year later, their second child and only son, Ace Knute, came into the world on June 30, 2013. The couple took a break from having children to finally say "I do" in a Montecito, California ceremony on Saturday, July 5, 2014, surrounded by their loved ones. After almost five years of being married, the pair welcomed their last child, another baby girl they named Birdie Mae, on March 19, 2019.
