This comes just a day after reports emerged suggesting that Simpson might be contemplating a divorce.

Johnson, who has been married to the pop star for over a decade, was photographed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, notably missing his wedding band. Unlike in previous appearances, Eric made no effort to conceal his left hand, which prominently displayed his bare ring finger as he handled what appeared to be important documents.

Historically, Eric has been consistent in wearing his wedding ring, making this latest development particularly noticeable. This change has coincided with rumors that Simpson's close friends have contacted divorce attorneys on her behalf, expressing her unhappiness within the marriage. Although these friends have attempted to arrange consultations with various lawyers, it remains unclear whether these actions were at Jessica's request or simply well-meaning interference.

Jessica herself has also drawn attention with a recent social media post that many fans interpreted as a veiled reference to her relationship issues. In the post, she stated, "This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve." This has further fueled speculation that a marital split could be on the horizon.

It seems Eric may be subtly signaling his stance on the matter by choosing to go ringless, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding situation.
