Jeremy Renner is not ‘down with’ what Jessica Simpson has been doing, says ‘source’
Jessica Simpson has been flirting with Jeremy Renner on social media after her separation from her husband, Eric Johnson. She shares three children with Johnson, but the separation has reportedly pushed her into loneliness and in search of a new connection. RadarOnline’s exclusive report revealed that Simpson has been reaching out to Renner through social media.
The source revealed, “She’s throwing so many olive branches and hints, and Jeremy hasn’t bit on any of them.” They continued, “She’s enjoyed the playful online banter, but her friends think she’s reading too much into it.” RadarOnline also suggested that Simpson has become notably present on Renner’s Instagram. She engages with the actor’s post and seemingly hopes to rekindle their romance.
As per the source, “In her mind, she thinks he’s the perfect guy to rebound with and can get something serious going with him.” However, according to the source, “He’s clearly not down with it. You’d think she’d get the hint, but she isn’t.” They explained that Simpson has been “sliding into his DMs and dangling the opportunity” since she was hinting she was “aching to reunite with Jeremy.”
Simpson’s friends are “begging her to quit acting so desperate,” according to one of her companions. So far, the “I Wanna Love You Forever” singer has left supportive and flirtatious comments on Renner’s posts. The actor has responded with likes and polite acknowledgments, leaving a comment on Simpson’s album release, writing, “Congrats, Jess!!!”
As per the Daily Mail, Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner had a brief fling in 2010. They were spotted together at Renner’s “The Hurt Locker” film party, but Renner denied all rumors. RadarOnline’s source briefed, “He’s polite enough and means well, he’s not interested in reigniting that fire and people can’t understand why she won’t let it go.” Hence, according to the sources, any potential union between the two stars is wishful thinking as of now.
