Ashlee Simpson: Jessica Is Doing Great, Not Dwelling On Split

Star magazine caught up with Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend/bandmate Ray Brady in Texas, on their way to the airport, on Saturday (November 26). Asked about how her sister Jessica Simpson is doing in wake of the announcement she’s splitting up with husband Nick Lachey. “Jessica’s doing great,” Ashlee said. “We all had a good Thanksgiving, all the family was together and we had a wonderful time. We didn’t even talk about Jessica’s breakup from Nick; it wasn’t something we wanted to dwell on. Jessica’s happy and she’s absolutely fine. The only thing that stressed Jessica out was our grandparents’ worry over all the attention she’s getting. Jessica spent most of the holidays trying to reassure them that she’s OK and that everything is good.”
