Jessica Simpson was spotted at the Los Angeles airport LAX looking happy while taking a selfie with a friend.
The Dukes of Hazzard star, 44, was very noticeably not wearing her wedding ring amid rumors of a split from her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson.
Jessica wore a black coat with a shearling collar with multi-colored pants and black platform boots.
Her brunette friend laughed as the Newlyweds Nick and Jessica reality TV star snapped the photo.
Jessica, who recently celebrated seven years of sobriety, sparked rumors of a split after not wearing her engagement ring, not posting a pic of Eric on her very active social media accounts since April and not publicly posting a birthday tribute to him.

Now a source has sensationally alleged: ‘It’s pretty much over. It’s only a matter of time before she files for divorce,’ according to In Touch.
Simpson and Johnson were last seen together in public this June, when they attended Birdie’s kindergarten graduation together.
The songstress was not wearing her wedding ring on that occasion – nor when she was seen out and about in Los Angeles earlier this month.
The couple share daughters Max, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11.
Simpson did not publicly wish Johnson a happy birthday on his 45th birthday September 15, though she had penned a glowing Instagram tribute to him after he turned 44 last year.
Instead, on Johnson’s 45th birthday last month, Simpson cryptically reposted a clip of Pastor Timothy Timberlake delivering a speech about forgiveness.
‘Forgiveness doesn’t change the person who hurt you. Are you listening to me? Forgiveness doesn’t change that person. Forgiveness changes you,’ he said.
‘Guess what forgiveness does not do? Forgiveness does not mean you forget. One of the most crazy theories is that you forgive and forget. You don’t forget, but you do have the opportunity to forgive every time you remember.’
By contrast, after Johnson’s birthday in 2023, Simpson posted: ‘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’.

However in more recent months Johnson has been absent from Simpson’s Instagram page, where she has been seen multiple times posing without her engagement ring.
Early this September, shortly before Johnson’s birthday, Simpson posted a back-to-school album with her children – and her left hand fourth finger was bare once again.
Last year, Simpson moved to Nashville part time in order to work on new music, after not releasing an album since the 2010 record Happy Christmas.
Although her husband and children were able to spend the summer of 2023 with her in Nashville, they eventually returned to Los Angeles because of school, while Simpson divided her time between the two cities.
