How Jessica Simpson Got Her Confidence Back After Eric Johnson Split

Jessica Simpson is on top of the world. Six months after announcing her separation from husband Eric Johnson, the singer “has a new sense of confidence and is coming back into her own,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She’s doing well since the split,” the insider says. “She’s a different person since she’s been out of the relationship.” The 10-year marriage was “holding her down,” according to the source, who says Simpson, 45, “wasn’t happy for a long time” due to “trust and communication issues” that “just got bigger.” Eric Johnson and Jessica Simpson Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for J
