More than ten years after the 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 remembered her chance meeting in May 2010 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 in love with slippers” that day.
Johnson proposed to Simpson in November 2010 after six months of dating, but it wasn’t until four years later that the couple walked down the aisle.
The couple, who were both previously married – to Simpson Nick Lachey and Johnson on 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 again, welcoming daughter Birdie in March 2019.
The following year, Simpson released her autobiography, Open bookin February 2020, describing how Johnson has continued to support her journey.
“In terms of my marriage to Eric, I’ve never felt more myself or freer,” Simpson shared exclusively Us weekly while promoting the bestseller. “Eric and I have a real mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he likes most about me are my flaws. I am very confident in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!
