Jessica Simpson Re-Lists Mansion for $17.9M After Divorce Announcement
Jessica Simpson Re-Lists Mansion for $17.9M After Divorce Announcement.
Jessica Simpson is preparing to embark on a new chapter in her life following the announcement of her divorce from Eric Johnson after 11 years of marriage. The couple's mansion in Hidden Hills has reportedly been listed for sale.
As per Zillow, the property was officially placed on the market on January 11, with the couple seeking a minimum price of $17.9 million for the expansive estate. Jessica and Eric have owned this residence since 2013, where they have raised their three children: daughters Max, 12, and Birdie, 5, along with their son Ace, 11.
This is not the first time Jessica and Eric have attempted to sell the estate; they initially listed it in 2024 for $22 million but took it off the market a year later due to a lack of buyers.
The home was relisted just three days prior to Jessica's confirmation to PEOPLE that she and Eric had been living apart for some time.
"Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage," she said in a statement. "Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."
Jessica gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s through her successful careers in acting and music. In the last ten years, she has shifted her focus to fashion design, contributing to her impressive net worth of $200 million. Eric, a former NFL player, is estimated to have a personal wealth of $10 million.
It remains uncertain whether Jessica and Eric have officially initiated divorce proceedings or if a prenuptial agreement exists. A report from 2011, prior to their marriage, indicated that Eric was reluctant to sign a prenup, despite Jessica's insistence. Jessica has voiced her regret over not securing a prenuptial agreement during her first marriage to Nick Lachey, which lasted from 2004 to 2006.
“I wish I would’ve signed a prenup,” Jessica said in 2020. “The funny thing is that Nick wanted me to sign a prenup but I was so offended. I’m like, ‘But we’re going to be together for the rest of our lives. We’re saying our vows to God and in front of all of our family and friends. This is never going to end,’ and we didn’t sign a prenup.”
The speed at which Jessica and Eric's home sells will impact the duration required to finalize their divorce.
Jessica Simpson's decision to relist her Hidden Hills mansion marks a significant step as she moves forward into a new chapter of her life. Despite the personal challenges, she remains focused on her children and her flourishing career.
