The "With You" singer opened up about Johnson's willingness to embrace her career throughout their marriage.
"I don't find it hard to love anybody, but I have always thought that I was hard to love, that I was too much for people, or my schedule was too demanding," she shared with People in 2023. "He knows my heart and understands my heart more than anyone I've ever met in my life."

"Eric turned 44 on Sept 15 and his family gave him all the love cells we have to celebrate his life. My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my own…. We love youuuu," she wrote in 2023.
