A source close to Jessica Simpson, 44, and her estranged husband Eric Johnson, 45, has revealed the couple’s vacation plans.
On Friday, an insider opened up about the turmoil in the couple’s relationship, amid split rumors claiming they are focusing on their children and “don’t hate each other.”
And in good holiday spirit, they revealed that the singer and the former NFL player will present a united front and be together for the special season.
They told American weekly: ‘Jessica and Eric plan to all be together with the kids during the holidays. It’s all about the kids and the family. They don’t hate each other.’
Simpson and Johnson share daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11.
Earlier this month, the former NFL star was spotted in Los Angeles not only without his wife, but also missing his wedding ring, further fueling divorce rumors.

The couple started dating in May 2010 after meeting at a mutual friend’s house party, and just six months later the pair became engaged in a whirlwind romance.
The former San Francisco 49ers tight end and the actress welcomed their first child, Maxwell Drew, on May 1, 2012. On June 30, 2013, the lovebirds welcomed their son Ace Knute.
They said “I do” at a lavish San Ysidro Ranch wedding in Santa Barbara, California over Independence Day weekend in July 2014.
And on March 19, 2019, they welcomed their youngest child, daughter Birdie Mae.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Simpson and Johnson are “now living apart” and in the midst of “trying to figure out” their divorce.
Another insider revealed that they want to get over a breakup without “disrupting their children’s lives as much as possible.”
“They are both very committed to the well-being of the children and trying to figure out what is best for them,” the source continued.
And while the decision to end their 10-year marriage wasn’t an “easy decision,” another source claimed the mother-of-three was “heartbroken.”

“They’re both aware that things have to change if they want to make it work.”
“They’re stuck in a quiet period and are both trying to figure out what might have prompted them to bring it back and whether that’s more guidance or something else,” they concluded.
