Jessica Simpson and her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, spent Thanksgiving as a family this year, marking a continued trend of togetherness despite their separation.
The former couple, who announced their split in January after ten years of marriage, put their focus on co-parenting their three children (Maxwell Drew, 13, Ace Knute, 12, and Birdie Mae, 6) during the holiday.
The decision to celebrate together highlights their commitment to a friendly and unified front for their kids.
Though the two made their separation public earlier this year, they have been together on multiple occasions, including for family milestones like their daughter Maxwell's sixth-grade graduation and even a trip to Las Vegas to support Jessica’s sister, Ashlee Simpson, at her residency kickoff.
Despite these reunions, sources close to the pair have made it clear that they are not reconciling romantically.
Jessica Simpson herself clarified her single status at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, telling reporters she was enjoying being "a very single lady."
The former NFL player, Eric Johnson, remains a highly involved and supportive father, and these friendly family gatherings are purely for the sake of their children.
Jessica Simpsonand Eric Johnson seem to manage their ongoing separation by prioritizing a peaceful and shared family environment, ensuring that the changes in their marriage do not affect the children's sense of stability and happiness, especially during major holidays.
