Simpson first entered motherhood when she gave birth to her son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, on 20 November 2008. Bronx was born during her marriage to Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz, whom she wed in a whimsical Alice in Wonderland-themed ceremony earlier that same year. However, the couple’s marriage faced difficulties, leading to their divorce in February 2011 when Bronx was just two years old. Despite their split, both Simpson and Wentz have committed to being dedicated co-parents, ensuring Bronx’s welfare remains a top priority.
In 2014, Simpson found love again with actor Evan Ross, son of music legend Diana Ross. The couple tied the knot and expanded their family with the birth of their daughter, Jagger Snow Ross, on 30 July 2015, and later welcomed their son, Ziggy Blu Ross, on 29 October 2020. Their family dynamics, especially the blend between Simpson’s children with Wentz and those with Ross, have flourished, demonstrating a healthy environment for all involved.
Speaking on their unique family dynamic during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” in September 2018, both Simpson and Ross expressed admiration for Wentz and highlighted the importance of their cooperative co-parenting relationship. Ross noted, “My relationship with Pete has been amazing. He’s an amazing father.” This positive reinforcement reflects their commitment to nurturing a loving, supportive family for their three children.
Over the years, Simpson has balanced her entertainment career with motherhood, often choosing to prioritise her family life. In a recent interview, she recounted stepping away from the limelight to focus on her children. However, inspired by her daughter Jagger, she made a return to performing, even partaking in a Las Vegas residency in 2025. In a memorable moment, Simpson and Ross participated in the 14th season of “The Masked Singer,” showcasing their talents together, with both ultimately emerging victorious in the grand finale.
Bronx, now 17, has shown signs of his musical heritage, demonstrating creative flair and talent from a young age. Simpson revealed that he enjoyed music and often would dance and even write his own songs. As a big brother, Bronx reportedly takes his role seriously, developing a close bond with his younger siblings, particularly Jagger.
Upon celebrating Bronx’s recent birthday, Simpson took to social media to express her pride, stating, “Thank you for making me a mom! I can’t believe you’re 15.” These heartfelt tributes highlight the deep connection she shares with her children.
Jagger, now 10, has also begun forging her own path in the entertainment world. After her birth in 2015, Simpson reflected on how new each experience felt, despite it being her second pregnancy. By the age of six, Jagger was already picturing her future in the creative arts, declaring ambitions to become an artist and a movie star. The budding young talent has since modelled for high-profile fashion labels and even made her music debut on the soundtrack for “Minions: The Rise of Gru.”
Ziggy, the youngest of the trio at just five years old, has quickly won hearts with his charming personality. Simpson and Ross joyfully announced his birth on social media, describing the moment as a blissful addition to their family. Ziggy shares a birthday with his aunt, Tracee Ellis Ross, further intertwining their family bonds. His brother and sister have taken to the role of caretakers, with Jagger particularly fond of entertaining him.
Each of Simpson’s children has their own unique personality and talents, painting a picture of a thriving family full of love and support. The close-knit dynamics reveal how Simpson and Ross have blended their families seamlessly, ensuring that all siblings feel cherished and valued. Simpson’s journey as a mother continues to unfold, with each of her children paving exciting paths of their own, leaving an indelible mark on her life. As they grow, it’s clear that family remains at the forefront of Simpson’s priorities.
