Jessica Simpson is preparing to release her new EP, ‘Nashville Canyon: Part 1’ She shared that she has been booze-free since 2017, and credits her sobriety with helping her reconnect with music. She said drinking ‘made my emotions quiet. Instead of addressing them, dealing with them and getting through it, I was just letting them be’. Jessica announced her separation from Eric Johnson, 44, her husband of a decade, in January. The couple have three children, Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5. She has also recently rediscovered her passion for music by returning to her Nashville roots, working with songwriters and drawing on her personal journals and poetry. Jessica said she struggled to assert herself within the music industry. ‘Remember the person that opened her mouth and sang ‘Amazing Grace’ for the first time. Remember that girl and remember that as a woman’, and to have freedom in music, that’s what you’re going to hear in ‘Nash Nashville Canyon’\”, she added.
