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

Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety Amid Divorce

Jessica Simpson marks eight years of sobriety while going through the end of her 11-year marriage with Eric Johnson. On November 1, the singer and fashion icon, 45, shared a reflective post on Instagram about her journey to sobriety.

“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.”

She explained how this decision helped her fully embrace her life's purpose. Simpson explained that alcohol dulled her intuition, blocked her dreams, and fueled her fears of becoming complacent.

“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”

Simpson now lives her life driven by faith, writing:

“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.”

She has shared that sobriety transformed her creativity as well. In an interview with The Cut earlier this year, shortly after filing for divorce, she said:

“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.”

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