The couple married in July 2014 after dating for about four years. They have three children together, and Simpson has said they are focusing on what is best for them.
Divorce and property
Reports said a divorce filing had been made. Later reports said the process had been paused, and that the couple were co-parenting. The family home in Hidden Hills, California, was listed for $17.9 million in January 2025, days before the separation was announced. It was later taken off the market, according to reports from 2025 and 2026.
