Jessica Simpson was spotted sans wedding ring once again on Saturday, adding fuel to the rumors that her decade-long marriage to Eric Johnson might be on the rocks.
The 44-year-old pop icon seemed unbothered by the buzz as she treated their three kids—Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5—to a cozy family movie outing in Calabasas.
Clad in a vibrant orange coat, faded denim, and knee-high boots, Jessica exuded her signature bold style.
She accessorized with a massive leopard-print tote and a pair of oversized designer shades that doubled as a headband for her trademark blonde locks.
While the singer-turned-fashion-mogul looked the picture of calm, whispers of a split are growing louder.
The couple hasn’t been spotted together since Birdie’s kindergarten graduation back on June 7, and Jessica’s Instagram has been conspicuously Eric-free since their Easter celebration on April 9.

Jessica also raised eyebrows by failing to give Eric a birthday shout-out on his 45th birthday on September 10, further igniting rumors of a marital rift.
Adding fuel to the fire, the former NFL star has also been spotted without his wedding ring in recent outings.
The family movie outing comes on the heels of Jessica’s sister Ashlee Simpson addressing the swirling speculation for the first time.
When TMZ caught up with her in Beverly Hills on Monday—where she was dining with husband Evan Ross, 36—they asked point-blank: ‘Is it true? Do you know?’
Ashlee simply replied, ‘No.’
However, it remains unclear whether Ashlee was denying the rumors outright or admitting to being in the dark about the couple’s current status.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Jessica’s representatives for clarification.
Meanwhile, Jessica herself has fueled the chatter with a cryptic social media post on November 11 that appeared to throw shade at someone close to her.

‘Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,’ began the singer in her caption.
‘This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.’
Her quote raised eyebrows as followers tried to guess who made her put up with ‘everything I did not deserve.’
Reports of tension in the couple’s marriage have been circulating, with Life & Style claiming that Eric has grown weary of Jessica’s ‘crazy mood swings.’
‘Jessica feels like their marriage has lost its romance. Everyone’s wondering how long they can go on like this,’ the publication reported, citing an insider.
The outlet further alleged, ‘Eric has been doing his own thing for longer than anyone seems to know. He’s been very vocal about how difficult it is to live with someone so obsessed with surgery and so detached from reality most of the time.’
