Jessica Simpson has found love again, over a year after her marriage ended.
The 45-year-old singer - who announced in January 2025 that she had split from Eric Johnson after a decade of marriage - is said to be dating Thomas Eisenhood, who was previously a member of the now-defunct Stoop Kids band and now works as a roadie.
According to TMZ, the pair met through mutual friends and have been together for around three months, but are taking things slow and Thomas has yet to meet Jessica's children, Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and seven-year-old Birdie.
The couple spend time together when the Dukes of Hazzard star is visiting her second home in Nashville, and Jessica is "excited" about their romance.
A source told People magazine: "She's happy. She's in a great place, excited for her future."
Jessica and Eric are still on good terms.
The insider added: "She and Eric are committed to being the best possible parents they could be, having a harmonious relationship and supporting their kids."
The former couple are said to still be living together while they try to “figure out the best path forward” and sell their family home in Hidden Hills, which has been on and off the market since they split.
A source said: “He's been living there, but they're working on selling the house.
"The goal has been to keep everything as stable and as friendly for the kids as possible.
"They still have a great relationship. They're still co-parenting. The main goal is the kids, but they're moving toward next steps.”
Jessica recently admitted she never imagined being "single again as a mom of three".
She told People: "I feel like we get caught up in numbers.
"Like, 'Oh, at 45, would I think that I would be single again as a mom of three?' Absolutely not. That was not how I planned it. But it's just a part of what destiny holds for me."
Jessica revealed in July that she was ready to start dating again.
The singer was asked by Today show co-host Jenna Bush-Hager: "Are you interested in dating? Can I set you up with anybody?"
Jessica replied: “I'd totally jump on that. Yes I'm single - very into like, very … I'm ready!”
Jenna subsequently questioned: "What are you into so I can set my criteria?"
And Jessica then explained: "My type of person is one of a kind. I don't have a look, or anything.
"I just like for somebody to be individually, who they are. And exude confidence without the ego.
"It's hard to find but I feel like it's out there. I don't need somebody to be supportive of me all the time.
"I feel like the independence that I have right now, if I can have that and give it to someone else, that'd be cool."
