Ashlee Simpson addressed rumors that her sister Jessica Simpson’s marriage is in trouble — with one simple word.

Ashlee, 40, was walking with her husband, Evan Ross, in Beverly Hills on Monday, November 11, when TMZ asked her to weigh in on speculation that Jessica, 44, has split from husband Eric Johnson.

Ashlee avoided the outlet’s questions at first and kept walking, but replied after being asked directly whether it was “true” that Jessica is getting a divorce.

“No,” Ashlee replied before walking off hand in hand with Ross, 36.

TMZ pegged the speculation about Jessica’s relationship to her most recent Instagram post.

“Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic. This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve 🎶 🎼 🤍🖤,” Jessica captioned a series of pH๏τos of herself dressed in black knee-high leather boots and a matching furry jacket over a white dress.

While some think Jessica was referring to Johnson with her “everything I did not deserve” comment, the actress previously opened up about several hardships in her life in her 2020 best-selling memoir, Open Book, including her previous dependence on alcohol, body image issues and her marriage to Nick Lachey.

Jessica wrote in Open Book that even before she and Lachey, 51, tied the knot in 2002, she began to notice that her “childishness, which seemed so cute and sweet when I was first with him, [seemed] to annoy him.” The exes split in 2005 and finalized their divorce the following year.
