She and Eric, 45, announced their split in January after nearly 11 years of marriage and three children together, and Simpson has since hinted at infidelity on Johnson's part in her fiery comeback track Leave. In early April, the I Wanna Love You Forever singer and the former NFL star were spotted reuniting with their daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11 — along with what looked like Eric's parents — signaling the two are working to co-parent despite the drama.

The lyrics pull no punches: 'What we had was magic / Now you've made it tragic / Giving her what you gave to me / Now the well that you drank from is empty.' She digs even deeper, singing: 'Your weakness made me lonely / Unholy matrimony / Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees? / She's everything but me.' And she lands the final blow: 'I want you to leave / I don't even wanna breathe the air you breathe / I am stronger on my own / So hold on / I'm letting you go.' In April, Jessica opened up onstage at the Luck Reunion about confronting Eric just before things fell apart, saying her world ' turned upside down' after she followed her gut and asked 'some very personal questions on the home front.' These days, Simpson is embracing her single status, telling fans she's a 'very single lady.' While their split may feel sudden to the public, whispers of trouble began as early as November 2024 when Jessica teased her new music on Instagram, writing, 'This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve..' Simpson was previously married to 98 Degrees frontman Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006, a relationship immortalized on their reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

Stop Fighting Remote Work—Start Designing It Better
Eric Johnson is the CEO of SurveyMonkey , a global leader in online surveys and forms, built for business and loved by users. getty Wherever you land on the great return-to-office debate, one thing's clear: we're asking the wrong question. The question isn't where people work—it's how they work best. The companies willing to move past the binary argument of office versus remote and instead focus on outcomes are the ones shaping the future of work. Getting there starts with listening. It takes data, curiosity and a commitment to designing a workplace that balances flexibility with connection, because both matter. People want freedom over how they work. They also want to feel part of something bigger. Simple? Maybe. Easy? Definitely not. In today's world, multiple things can be true at once. What I know for sure is that the future of work won't be won by picking a side. It'll be built by leaders willing to design something better. Here are some things we're getting right—and wrong—about where work happens. The remote-versus-office debate is keeping us from designing something better. If you only read the headlines, you'd think return-to-office is a battle: executives demanding control on one side, employees demanding flexibility on the other. But framing it as a fight misses the bigger opportunity. Most leaders and employees want the same thing: strong results, meaningful work and a workplace that doesn't burn people out. For executives, that means alignment and bold innovation. For employees, it means trust, flexibility and fewer barriers to doing great work. The challenge isn't choosing a side—it's designing a system that brings the best of both worlds together. That system won't look the same everywhere, and that's exactly the point. Data tells us there's no one-size-fits-all approach to connection. More than one-third (35%) of hybrid and remote workers say that socializing with coworkers is what they miss most, according to a SurveyMonkey study. At the same time, Gallup reports that one in five employees felt lonely a lot. But loneliness isn't always about being alone. Harvard Business Review found that remote work can actually deepen relationships by giving coworkers a window into each other's real lives in a way the office never did. We've all been on video calls where a coworker's pet jumps up on the desk or someone's kid pops up with a question. These unfiltered moments help people see one another more clearly. Many employees also report that remote work helps improve productivity and enhances their quality of life. This is especially true for working parents, people with disabilities and employees from historically marginalized groups. The key for leaders is recognizing that connection looks different for everyone—and that means putting real thought (and real systems) in place to support it. Maybe it's creating intentional moments for teams to come together in person. Maybe it's designing better rituals for distributed teams to stay close. Either way, connection doesn't happen by accident. It never has. There's a hidden cost to fully remote work. One of the less visible costs of remote work is the decline in what is called osmosis learning. This gap is most pronounced for Gen-Z and early-career employees who have never worked in an office. They miss the casual hallway conversations, in-between meeting banter, elevator chit-chat and nonverbal cues that typically help people decode company culture. These employees also miss more spontaneous learning opportunities. Some of the most valuable learning moments in my career happened when I was pulled into a client meeting I had no business being in. I wasn't much more than a seat filler in most of those meetings but listening to what transpired and how my bosses interacted with clients was invaluable. These impromptu moments are key to career development. They provide insights that help shape professional growth and are hard to replicate in a fully remote setting. The good news is that with intentionality and creativity, leaders can bring these valuable learning opportunities into hybrid or remote environments. With some creativity, leaders can design learning opportunities through mentorship programs, shadowing or open-invite problem-solving. A smarter approach to hybrid work is possible. The best hybrid work models don't force an 'either/or' choice. They build toward 'both/and,' finding ways to strike a balance between remote flexibility and in-person connection. Having experimented with different ways to make hybrid work for our diverse team at SurveyMonkey, here's how to preserve the benefits of both environments through small but strategic changes: • Employees who live near an office hub work in-office one day per week, or more if needed. This allows for meaningful in-person connections without creating unnecessary pressure. • Employees who are fully remote and live further away from a hub participate in offsites—work-related events outside of the in-person office environment—to stay connected to the team and company culture, even at a distance. • 'Collisions'—like strategy circles—offer structured, inclusive spaces for remote and in-office employees to connect individual work to the company's priorities. • Small, thoughtful changes like no-meeting Fridays and :05 start times help ease remote meeting fatigue and protect space for deep, uninterrupted work. These adjustments, large and small, send a clear message: Employee well-being and productivity matter more than rigid policies about when and where work happens. When we listen first, we can design thoughtfully. It's tempting to assume we know what's best for our teams, but the most effective policies aren't based on gut instincts—they're grounded in insight. By listening to employees, we gain the insights needed to make informed decisions. That doesn't mean one survey and done. It means building real feedback loops—so we can keep adapting as needs evolve. The companies that succeed won't be the ones with the strictest rules. They'll be the ones with the clearest signals: we trust you, we care about outcomes and we're listening.

Jessica Simpson wows in sparkling see-through dress at birthday bash: ‘Fancy dive into 45'
Jessica Simpson turned heads in a completely see-through, sparkling dress to celebrate her 45th birthday with a bang. In photos shared on Saturday, the fashion designer modelled a sheer dress with a sparkling silver overlay at a lavish birthday soiree at legendary Hollywood hotspot Chateau Marmont. The mum of three layered the jaw-dropping look over a pair of dark briefs and accessorised with silver platform heels and a sparkling choker. In several snaps, she wore a black satin tuxedo-style coat over the shimmering ensemble. Mum Tina Ann, 65, posed alongside her daughter for a celebratory snap in an animal-print cocktail dress, and Jessica playfully showed off a two-tiered cake topped with a party hat in another pic. In yet another, she posed alongside her all-girl gang of guests. The Dukes of Hazzard actress styled her iconic blond locks in loose waves and opted for a smoky eye and glossy lip at the birthday bash on Thursday. 'Fancy dive into 45,' the pop star captioned the pics. 'Guurllll 45 never looked so good,' wrote a fan, while another exclaimed, 'Your Mum looks gorgeous too!' A third quipped, 'forty fine,' while a fourth gushed, 'you are BODY GOALS and that hair wow.' The Take My Breath Away singer, who split from Eric Johnson after ten years of marriage back in January, previously took to the platform to mark her milestone birthday in a leather bodysuit and animal-print coat. In a video clip, the singer teased her upcoming single Fade while enjoying a bowl of cherries and writing 'fade' in red lipstick on a bathtub wall. 'To start off my 45th year'round the sun, Imma gonna bright side the journey of life by choosin' to be the HAPPY part of my BIRTHDAY,' she captioned the seductive footage on Thursday. 'I've been patiently waitin' for y'all to get a dose of #FADE from the upcomin' journey through #NashvilleCanyon, Part 2.' The hitmaker, who famously shed almost 100 pounds (45kg) a few years ago, also showed off her svelte figure in a red bikini while celebrating the Fourth of July last weekend.

"To start off my 45th year'round the sun, Imma gonna bright side the journey of life by choosin' to be the HAPPY part of my BIRTHDAY," she wrote in the caption. Five years ago, Simpson opened up about her fears around turning 40. "I freaked out two months before I turned 40, not knowing that that age would even mean anything to me, but then it's like, oh but 41, 42," she said to SiriusXM. "I've never calculated my age until now." She added that she was, "accepting it slowly." Earlier this year, Simpson and her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, announced their split. As she later told People, the break-up took her by surprise. "I got thrown a real twist of fate in the middle of making this record," she said. "My heart was completely broken. I had to continue to focus on the music." She added, "Thank God, I had Nashville." The former couple share three children, Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5. Read the original article on InStyle
