Jessica Simpson’s Husband ‘Gave Up Drinking The Second’ She Did After Scary Parenting Moment
Jessica Simpson has been spilling MAJOR tea in excerpts from her forthcoming memoir about her addiction to “drinking and pills,” past relationship with Nick Lachey, and more juiciness we just can’t get enough of.
In a snippet from Open Book published in People, the 39-year-old explained how her husband Eric Johnson made the decision to stop drinking with her in November 2017 after her rock bottom parenting moment.
As we previously shared, the Public Affair songstress recalled being so intoxicated she “zoned out,” and was unable to help dress her daughter Maxwell and son Ace in their Halloween costumes:
“I was terrified of letting them see me in that shape. I am ashamed to say that I don’t know who got them into their costumes that night.”
It was after this incident she knew she had to get sober for the sake of her kids. Luckily, she had a partner in sobriety to keep her accountable:
“Eric gave up drinking the second I did. He said, ‘I’ll do it with you, babe.’ It was like no biggie and he hasn’t gone back or looked back. It’s just the way he is. He’s a very selfless and loving person who is the most incredible father on the planet.”
So sweet!
The mother of three also recalled what it was like falling in love with the former NFL player. The pair met in 2010 when a mutual friend invited him to a party at Jess’ home, and the two had an instant connection:
“We connected on all levels. We both were ready for the real deal.”
Since abstaining from alcohol, the two have experienced plenty of joyous moments. Miz Simpson recalled a sweet memory at an August 2018 concert when she performed with her friend Willie Nelson at his Orange County Fair show at the Pacific Amphitheater.
Not only was it the first time her son and daughter had seen her perform, but it was full circle considering Mr. Nelson was the inspiration for her Halloween costume just before she chose to stop drinking. She wrote:
“I was so grateful to be in that moment.”
Following the concert, there was even more cause for celebration:
“Eric hugged me, placing his hand on my stomach… We had a secret, one that had come as a happy surprise to us. We were about to be a family of five.”
Things have really turned around for Jess, and we couldn’t be happier!
