Warring ex-couple Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson reunite for daughter's graduation in LA
Jessica Simpson appeared downcast Wednesday night as she reunited with estranged husband Eric Johnson to celebrate their daughter Maxwell's graduation in Los Angeles.
Dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress, the 44-year-old pop star kept a serious expression while spotted outside a restaurant with the former NFL player, 45.
The two, who legally separated in January after a decade of marriage, seemed to be marking the milestone with a low-key family dinner.
Jessica stood with her arms crossed and managed only a faint smile as the couple's three children—Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 6—waited nearby outside the restaurant.
Despite the tension, Eric remained courteous, opening the restaurant door for Jessica as they arrived and left the venue.
The two rode in the same vehicle, though Jessica sat in the front passenger seat while Eric took the back, with a driver behind the wheel, per witnesses.
Simpson publicly announced their separation earlier this year, and in a song released in March, she appeared to hint at infidelity—sparking speculation that cheating may have played a role in the split.
Simpson — who once referred to Eric as her 'sexual shaman' — launched a musical comeback in March with her savage track Leave, which appears to insinuate Johnson stepped out on her.
The lyrics - which involve telling a lover to leave - include: 'What we had was magic/Now you've made it tragic/Giving her what you gave to me/Now the well that you drank from is empty.'
'Your weakness made me lonely/Unholy matrimony/Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?/She's everything but me.'
She then sings about the man thinking about the other woman while having sex with her, stating she'd 'rather die than let you be inside me with her on your mind.'
Around the same time, Jessica appeared to open up about the moment she confronted Eric just before their marriage officially crumbled.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark Swiftie fury after posing with 'MAGA' stars: 'Where is her self-respect?'
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have sparked a meltdown among her fanbase after they were seeing hanging out with the 'MAGA' co-hosts of 'Bussin' With The Boys'. The popular show is presented by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan and earlier this week they posted a picture alongside the power couple. 'Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS,' they captioned the picture on social media. But the viral image has caused fury among Swifties, one of whom asked: 'Where the f*** is her self-respect?' Donald Trump appeared on 'Bussin With The Boys' ahead of last year's election and the ex-NFL stars were even given a shoutout during his victory celebrations. Dana White namechecked the podcast for helping propel Trump to victory over Kamala Harris. Back in 2023, Compton and Lewan were also seen shaking hands with the president at a UFC event. Now, Swift's decision to be pictured with the co-hosts has prompted a furious reaction on social media. 'You are who you surround yourself with,' one Swiftie wrote, while another accused the singer of having 'zero self-respect.' 'When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with,' they said. 'Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are,' added another. Swift publicly endorsed Harris ahead of last year's election, while Trump has made clear his dislike for the singer. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' he wrote on social media last year before attacking her again in recent weeks. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"' the president wrote. Those comments have not been forgotten by her fans in the light of her picture with 'Bussin With The Boys'. 'The fact that she still associates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her…. where the f*** is her self-respect,' one asked. 'Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place... then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead,' another added. 'What a waste.' Swift and Kelce have been together in Nashville over recent days, with the Chiefs star been hosting his annual 'Tight End University'. The singer even performed during the event, sending fans wild with a rendition of 'Shake It Off'. San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, who hosts the event with Kelce, lifted the lid on her surprise cameo. 'Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice, and she was like, "I think it might be fun to go sing 'Shake It Off'". And we were like, "It'd be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please,"' he said. Speaking to Fox News Digital , Kittle added: 'She was fantastic. For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I've ever heard in my entire life. It was an incredible experience.'
