Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson spark reconciliation speculation with Vegas getaway

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson sparked reconciliation speculation after they were spotted catching a flight to Las Vegas together.

The estranged couple was seen boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank, Calif., to Vegas without their kids in tow Friday, reports TMZ.

Video shared by the outlet showed Simpson in a long red sweater dress as she followed Johnson to the runway where their plane was sitting.

Photos taken inside the aircraft revealed the two were sat in the same row on the flight. However, they did appear to keep their distance by leaving an open seat in the middle.

Once they touched down in Sin City, the pair remained tight-lipped on their current relationship status.

Simpson did reveal, however, that they jetted off to Vegas to support her sister, Ashlee, who’s kicking off her Vegas residency at the Venetian on Friday night.

A rep for Simpson did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “I Wanna Love You Forever” songstress, 45, announced her separation from Johnson, 45, in January after 10 years of marriage.

“Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson told People in a statement at the time.

“Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

At the time, a source told us the couple’s split was due to “trust issues.”

“They were no longer on the same page, and it drove a wedge between them,” the insider shared.

Simpson has not yet publicly disclosed the reason for their breakup. However, she hinted at forgiving her husband’s “mistakes” earlier this month in her interview with Parade.

“I choose love because if I chose to be resentful or if I chose to let the pain of it overwhelm me, I would fail,” Simpson told the outlet.

“And so I had to choose love and loving people through their mistakes. If I’m going to love through my mistakes, I have to love others through their mistakes.”
