Ashlee Simpson Dating Evan Ross, Modeling Sister Jessica's Fashions
Ashlee Simpson not only hosted her sister Jessica's Fall 2013 Campaign on Tuesday, but also seemingly confirmed her relationship with Evan Ross.
The pair was spotted at the fashion event in New York City, marking their first public outing together amidst months of speculation.
Ross, 24, is the son of legendary singer Diana Ross, and first was spotted with Simpson in late June. He and the 28-year-old singer appeared at ease with one another while posing for pictures during the Jessica Simpson fashion event.

It comes as no surprise that Simpson attended the Fall 2013 fashion event since she became the face of the fashion line this year, proving she has modeling skills on top of singing and acting.
"I have a pretty cool sister with an amazing sense of style, and I was honored to get to do the shoot," Simpson, told People.com. "We keep it in the family. Jessica's a fun one to work with."
Also attending Tuesday's event was Tina Simpson, Ashlee and Jessica's mother.
Meanwhile, a source close to Simpson and Ross said that the couple's romance grew from friendship that started on the "club scene."
"Evan and Ashlee have been friends for a really long time, probably 10 years," an insider at Us Weekly said. "They know each other from the club scene and have tons of mutual friends."
"It helps that they were friends first, they have a long bond," said the source added. "They already know each other really well."
Simpson is the mother of 4-year-old son Bronx, whom she shares with ex-husband and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz.
Despite the end of their marriage, Simpson and Wentz have been able to put aside their differences in order to be there for Bronx.
"I feel like we both realize that we're parents and we're in it for our kid," said Wentz during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live."
"That's made it really easy," the musician added.
Just last month, Simpson became an aunt for the second time after her older sister welcomed a son, Ace Knute. Jessica and her fiancé Eric Johnson are also parents to 1-year-old daughter Maxwell Drew.
