Jessica Simpson Opens Up About The State Of Her Sobriety Today

In her bestselling memoir, Open Book, which was released in February of last year, Simpson discussed the moment she hit rock bottom after celebrating Halloween 2017 with a party at her and Johnson's Los Angeles home. As she remembered, she told her friends after the bash, "I need to stop. Something's got to stop. And if it's the alcohol that's doing this, and making things worse, then I quit."

After Simpson made the decision to give up alcohol that same year, Johnson, the father of her three kids, Birdie Mae, 2, and Maxwell Drew, 8½, as well as 7½-year-old son Ace Knute, followed suit. "Eric gave up drinking the second I did," she previously told PEOPLE magazine. "He said, 'I'll do it with you, babe.' It was like no biggie and he hasn't gone back or looked back."

"It's just the way he is. He's a very selfless and loving person who is the most incredible father on the planet," she added.
