Jessica and Thomas didn’t meet by chance, and the connection that formed between them was anything but random. What brought them together was pure chance, as they were introduced to each other by mutual friends.

There is definitely a spark between them, and the chemistry, according to reports, is palpable and unmistakable. However, despite it all, the new couple is taking it slow and not rushing headfirst into something serious from the getgo.

For now, Jessica is keeping her new relationship and family life separate from each other. Her new partner has yet to meet her children, a decision that she has made deliberately and consciously.

This decision comes from the fact that Jessica has her hands full with coparenting responsibilities that she shares with Eric Johnson, her ex. They have three kids together and remain the focus for both of them. 

The Split Happened in 2025

You don’t move on easily after separating from your partner of 10 years, and that is true for Jessica and her ex as well. The transition was emotionally taxing, and perhaps that is why she is taking it slow with her new partner right now.

They Still Maintain a Friendly Relationship

Despite separating from her ex, Jessica is still intent on maintaining a healthy relationship with him for the sake of her family. She is dealing with all of her coparenting responsibilities and prioritizing keeping things amicable for their children’s stability. 

They Have Been Living Together Post-Split

Jessica Simpson’s love story has more to do with just finding a new relationship; it is about refusing to give in to despair after heartbreak and shows resilience and resolve to grow and rediscover happiness despite it all.
