Jessica Simpson is seeing someone new.

The singer and entrepreneur, 45, is dating musician Thomas Eisenhood, a source tells PEOPLE. Eisenhood currently lives in Nashville and was a member of the Stoop Kids band, which broke up in 2023 per its Instagram bio.

"She's happy. She's in a great place, excited for her future," the source exclusively tells PEOPLE.

TMZ was first to report on Simpson dating Eisenhood.

The romance comes over a year after Simpson and Eric Johnson, 46, announced their separation in January 2025. The exes were married for 10 years and share three children: daughters Maxwell Drew, 13, and Birdie Mae, 7, and son Ace Knute, 12.

The source adds that the exes are successfully co-parenting after their split.

"She and Eric are committed to being the best possible parents they could be, having a harmonious relationship and supporting their kids," the source says.

Earlier this month, a source told PEOPLE that Johnson and Simpson are still living together while they try to “figure out the best path forward” and sell their family home in Hidden Hills, Calif.

“He's been living there, but they're working on selling the house,” the source said. “The goal has been to keep everything as stable and as friendly for the kids as possible.”

The nearly $17 million home has been on and off the market since they announced their split, according to property records.

The insider added that Simpson and Johnson, who tied the knot in 2014, "still have a great relationship. They're still co-parenting. The main goal is the kids, but they're moving toward next steps.”

They addressed reports that Johnson was living in a home nearby and said, “He's not right now, but that is what the plan is."

As for Simpson, she's “focused on her kids," the source continued. "She's focused on her music right now, her career, getting back to work, and that's it."
