Singing sibs Ashlee and Jessica Simpson fear their parent’s twenty-nine year union may soon come to a screeching halt after Papa Joe Simpson left his wedding ring at home for a night out at the South by South West festival in Austin, Texas earlier this month. Rumors of a Simpson Family split have been further fuelled by reports that Joe and his wife, Tina Simpson, have not been seen in public together in several months.

A source tells the National Enquirer: “(They are) definitely living separate lives. “Joe spends less time at their home in Encino than ever before, and he just turned 50. Joe and Tina still reside in the same home, but there’s definitely trouble in the marriage, and much of it stems from Tina being upset that Joe is more involved in handling the careers of Jessica and Ashlee.”
