"Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family," she concluded.

Speculation surrounding the pair has been rife, as Jessica hadn't posted about Eric since his birthday in 2023. Indeed, they've both been spotted without their wedding rings in recent months.

Back in November, Jessica posted on Instagram that she would be returning to music, writing, "This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve." A few days later, a source told People that they were living "separate lives."
