Jessica Simpson marks 8 years sober amid divorce: 'Silenced my intuition'

Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety Amid Divorce

Jessica Simpson is marking eight years sober while going through the end of her 11-year marriage with Eric Johnson. On November 1, the 45-year-old singer and fashion mogul shared a heartfelt reflection on her sobriety journey via Instagram.

“8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self-sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing,” Simpson wrote. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”

Simpson emphasized that her current life is guided by faith, expressing:

“Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith… I’m so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”

Her sobriety has also had a profound impact on her creativity. In an interview with The Cut earlier this year, shortly after filing for divorce, she shared:

“Every time I would write, I was a little afraid of myself… especially because I was drinking at the time. But once I gave up the alcohol, the fears just diminished. They went away.”

Simpson filed for divorce from Johnson in 2025 after 11 years of marriage.
