However, it was then reported that they have decided to stay “amicable” for the sake of their three kids, and are even residing together.

Now, Star Magazine has reported the songbird has been struggling to let go of her former hubby.

Reportedly, this has led insiders to describe their dynamic as "complicated" environment for Johnson since she has been sending him mixed messages.

“It’s like she’s playing with his heart,” a source tipped.

Even though Simpson has been quite vocal about her chapter, insiders suggested that Johnson has been staying in the family home for reasons beyond just co-parenting.

“She’s very loud about wanting to date other men, but she’s still super co-dependent on Eric,” the source continued.
