Joe Simpson Boyfriend Andre Soriano? Jessica Simpson's Dad Reportedly Dating 'Styled To Rock' Star

Joe Simpson has been targeted by more gay rumors, claiming he is currently involved in Styled To Rock contestant Andre Soriano.

Earlier this month, the reported pair were spotted at an event where Soriano was photographed on the lap of Simpson, but according to Soriano, there is no romance blooming between them.

“Joe is like my uncle, my Uncle Joe! We are such great friends,” Soriano revealed to In Touch Weekly on March 20. “I have no idea why people would think that I am dating him.”

In the photos from the Naluda Magazine event in early March, Simpson and Soriano were seen in multiple poses together including Soriano on Simpson's lap and his hands on his chest.

“I can see how [the pictures] would be interpreted that way,” an onlooker dished. “Honestly the whole thing was blown out of proportion because Andre was all over everyone at the party—guys, girls, whoever.”

Apparently, Soriano was out of control during the bash and now feels bad for the way things have been interpreted by the media.

“I feel bad though [about the photos]. He is the best human being,” Soriano gushed. “We are doing work together.”

Simpson was married to his wife Tina for 34 years splitting in Oct. 2012. At the time their divorce was finalized in April 2013, the family called the split “amicable.” Following the split, rumors began to surface that Simpson, who was sporting a more flamboyant look, was gay.
