Joe Simpson(New Look)Facing Divorce After Outed as Gay

Following his recent split from wife Tina, Jessica Simpson’s father Joe is now facing allegations his marriage of 34 years crumbled after he came out as gay.

And the 54-year-old appears to be hoping for a fresh start with the help of a bold new look.

Joe was seen stepping out in Los Angeles on Friday sporting a new haircut and a bright and cheery ensemble.

He showed off blonder, shorter locks as he grabbed a cup of coffee, while dressed in a lemon yellow knitted jumper along with matching trainers and black trousers.

Reports that Joe came out as gay were followed by new claims that an aspiring male model has allegedly been having an affair with Joe.

Joe has reportedly been dating Bryce Chandler Hill, who at 21 is 33 years his junior, on and off for about a year.

A source allegedly told Radar Online that Bryce and Joe were introduced by a mutual friend, who is close to Joe’s famous daughters Jessica and Ashlee.

The insider reportedly told the website: ‘Joe Simpson being outed by the National Enquirer was no surprise to the gay community in Hollywood, Bryce has been bragging about hooking up with Joe for a while now.

‘Bryce is close to TJ Espinoza, who in turn is good friends with both Jessica and Ashlee and worked for Britney Spears as a back-up dancer.’

The source added: ‘TJ introduced Bryce to the Simpsons – and that’s how he met Joe.’

Bryce appeared to be denying the allegations when he posted on his Twitter page on Friday: 'Yes, I've read the story....it's simply NOT TRUE.'

The insider claims that Jessica is allegedly coming to terms with the news that her father, who also acts as her manager, is gay, but was apparently blindsided by the revelation.

The source said: ‘Jessica had absolutely no clue that her father was gay, not even the slightest inkling. She thinks she has very good gaydar, especially since a lot of her friends are gay, but she did not see this coming at all.

‘It was a complete shock to the system, she feels terribly for her mom who was left reeling by the announcement and her sister Ashlee has also taken the news quite badly.’

The website reports that Jessica is doing her best to get her head around the shock but is having ‘difficulty’.
