Jessica Simpson has opened up about dating after her dramatic split with husband Eric Johnson

EXCLUSIVE: Jessica Simpson Spills Tea on Dating After Eric Johnson Split - And It's a Wild Ride!

The 45-year-old pop sensation, who recently stunned fans with her unrecognizable new look, has opened up about her love life after her very public split from estranged husband Eric Johnson. In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Jessica dished on the challenges of dating in the modern era and whether she's ready to put herself back out there.

As we watched her arrive at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, it was clear that Jessica is still navigating the aftermath of her highly publicized divorce. But despite the drama surrounding their split - including allegations of infidelity on Eric's part - the blonde bombshell seemed focused and determined as she headed off to a concert in New York City.

The pair announced their split in January after nearly 11 years of marriage and three children together, and Simpson has since hinted at infidelity on Johnson¿s part in her fiery comeback track Leave; (seen in 2017)

So, are we seeing a single lady on the prowl? Not so fast! When asked if she was ready to jump back into the dating pool, Jessica gave us a glimpse into her thoughts. "It's a rough road in the dating world," she admitted. And while she hasn't ruled out the possibility of online dating just yet ("I mean I'm not getting on the apps yet"), she did reveal that she'd be open to being set up by a friend.

And what about Eric, you ask? Well, it seems that despite their messy divorce and lingering rumors of infidelity, the two are committed to co-parenting their three children - Maxwell, Birdie, and Ace. A source close to the situation revealed that Jessica and Eric are "on surprisingly good terms" and have even been spotted reuniting with their kids.

But don't get it twisted - Jessica is still processing her emotions after the split. In a fiery comeback track called "Leave," she pulls no punches in her lyrics, hinting at infidelity on Eric's part and vowing to move on from the heartache. "I want you to leave / I don't even wanna breathe the air you breathe / I am stronger on my own / So hold on / I'm letting you go."

As we reported earlier this year, Jessica and Eric announced their split in January after nearly 11 years of marriage. But despite the drama surrounding their breakup - including whispers of trouble as early as November 2024 - it seems that both parties are committed to putting their differences aside for the sake of their children.

And what about her love life? Well, it seems that Jessica is taking things one step at a time. When asked if she was actively trying to put herself back out there, she remained coy ("I would love for a friend to set me up. Are you kidding me?"), but did reveal that she's embracing her single status and loving every minute of it.

"I'm a very single lady," she proudly declared. And with her new music, new look, and newfound confidence, we can't help but wonder what the future holds for this pop powerhouse. One thing is certain - Jessica Simpson is back, and she's better than ever!
