While the couple attempted to maintain the relationship for the sake of their children, who are still young. The eldest of them is Maxwell, who is 13, followed by Ace, who is 12, and then finally Birdie, who is 6. Jessica Simpson eventually realized that she was the one who was "holding the marriage together." The source claimed:

“It was an emotional roller-coaster.”

It was a painful period for Jessica Simpson, as she was living separately and was going through all of that.
