Simpson, 45, who has achieved significant success in her music and fashion career, is believed to be enjoying this fresh relationship. Eisenhood, previously a member of the Stoop Kids band which disbanded in 2023, has exchanged his Los Angeles life for one in Nashville. According to insiders, Simpson appears to be in a positive mindset, with sources stating, “She’s happy. She’s in a great place, excited for her future.”
The relationship comes on the heels of Simpson’s divorce from Johnson, 46, which was announced in January 2025. Together, the couple shares three children – daughters Maxwell Drew (13) and Birdie Mae (7), alongside their son Ace Knute (12). Following their split, the focus has remained firmly on co-parenting, with sources indicating that the pair are committed to providing a stable environment for their children.
Reports have emerged that, despite the separation, Simpson and Johnson are still residing together in their Hidden Hills, California home while they navigate the next steps in their lives. “He’s been living there, but they’re working on selling the house,” a source disclosed, mentioning the nearly $17 million property had been on and off the market since their split was made public. The duo aims to maintain as much stability as possible for their children during this transition.
While living arrangements are in flux, the main focus for Simpson and Johnson continues to be their roles as parents. Sources have indicated that they are engaging in successful co-parenting efforts, stating, “She and Eric are committed to being the best possible parents they could be, having a harmonious relationship and supporting their kids.”
Amid the personal changes, Simpson is also redirecting her attention toward her career. “She’s focused on her kids, her music right now, her career, getting back to work, and that’s it,” the insider noted, hinting at her intent to reconnect with her artistic pursuits.
In a prior statement addressing their separation, Simpson expressed the significance of their children in the situation. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them,” she told PEOPLE, adding her appreciation for the support received during such a challenging time. “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.”
As Simpson explores new beginnings with Eisenhood, both she and Johnson appear to be navigating this transitional period with mutual respect, keeping their children’s well-being as their utmost priority. As this new relationship develops, fans of the singer will undoubtedly be keen to follow her journey, both personally and professionally.
