Jessica and Eric share three children – daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 5.
Rumors have been swirling about Jessica and Eric‘s relationship since November, when he was spotted without his wedding ring. At the time, Jessica also posted a cryptic message on Instagram in which she hinted at a return to music. She said, “This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”
Sources had claimed that Jessica and Eric were living “separate lives” back then and it seems she has confirmed the rumors.
