Jessica Simpson Spills the Tea: "I'm Ready" to Start Dating Again After Decade-Long Marriage Ends!

Get ready for some juicy gossip, folks! Jessica Simpson is officially back on the market and ready to mingle after calling it quits with her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson. The pop star, now 45, revealed she's feeling "very into" getting back out there and finding love again in a candid chat with thescholarlynote.com.

It all started when Jessica announced her separation from Eric in January, citing that they were "navigating a painful situation" in their marriage. The couple shares three kids together - Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5 - and have been co-parenting since then. But now, it seems like Jess is ready to move on and focus on her own happiness.

In the exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Jessica dished about what she's looking for in a partner. When asked if she was interested in dating, she replied, "I'd totally jump on that! Yes, I'm single - very into like, very... I'm ready!"

So, what does Jessica want in her next love interest? According to the pop star, she's not looking for someone with a specific look or characteristics. Instead, she wants someone who exudes confidence without being egotistical.

"I just like for somebody to be individually, who they are," Jessica explained. "And exude confidence without the ego. It's hard to find, but I feel like it's out there."

Reports of tension in the couple's marriage have been circulating, with Life & Style claiming that Eric has grown weary of Jessica's 'crazy mood swings'; they are seen in 2016

Jessica's love life has been a hot topic of discussion over the years. She was previously married to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006, and their relationship was documented on reality TV show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. She also had a highly publicized romance with singer John Mayer in 2006.

But now, it seems like Jess is ready to put her past romances behind her and focus on finding true love again. When asked if she's open to being set up by thescholarlynote.com, she replied, "I'd totally jump on that!"

The question remains: who will be the lucky guy to capture Jessica Simpson's heart next? Only time will tell!
