Jessica Simpson ‘taking things slow’ with Jeremy Renner as she fuels romance rumors with ‘Avengers’ star

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jessica Simpson is apparently wasting no time moving on. Just weeks after announcing the end of her 10-year marriage, she’s already sparking romance rumors with 'Avengers' star Jeremy Renner.

Simpson has apparently been dropping subtle hints about the new romance on social media, giving fans a "soft launch" of her budding relationship with Renner—a whopping 15 years after they were first linked.

Jessica Simpson 'hints' at Jeremy Renner romance

The newly single star recently "liked" and commented on two of Jeremy Renner’s latest workout videos, while the 'Mayor of Kingstown' star quickly returned the favor.

Renner, 54, posted a video of himself working out—both fully clothed and shirtless—on Instagram, writing about finding "inspiration everywhere, especially when I need it most."

Simpson, 44, wasted no time reacting, liking the post and dropping a 🔥 emoji.

And she didn’t stop there. When Renner shared a March 24 workout video featuring his mother, Simpson jumped into the comment section again. "I love this oh my...Mama is STRONG...I need to go do sit ups now," she remarked.

A source spilled to Radar Online: "There has always been a very strong connection between the two of them, and now Jessica is single, she is free to date anyone she wishes. She and Jeremy have met up a few times and are taking things slowly. The social media interaction is her way of giving the relationship a soft launch."

It’s not just Jessica doing all the liking. Renner has also been keeping tabs on her Instagram—giving his stamp of approval on her latest posts promoting her 'Nashville Canyon, Part 1' project.

Under Simpson’s March 21 post about the new music, Renner commented: "Congrats Jess !!! 👏👏👏🔥" He also liked a March 25 post about her song 'Blame Me.'

This isn’t the first time these two have sparked romance rumors. Way back in the day, sources claimed Simpson and Renner “were really flirting up a storm” at a swanky cocktail party celebrating Renner’s role in 'The Hurt Locker'. They even reportedly exchanged numbers that night.

Was Jessica Simpson dropping hints before split from Eric Johnson?

Jessica Simpson’s newfound romance comes after her emotional breakup with ex-NFL star Eric Johnson. She announced their split in January last year, bringing an end to their 10-year marriage.

The former couple shares three children—Maxwell Drew, 12, Ace Knute, 11, and Birdie Mae, 6—and Simpson was candid about how difficult the split was.

"Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage," she revealed at the time. "Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family," she added.

Before her breakup even went public, Simpson seemed to take a swipe at her ex while promoting her return to music. In an Instagram post, she wrote: "Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic. This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve."

Now that she’s officially single again, some insiders are worried that Simpson might slip back into her wild-child past.

Insiders said they were a little concerned she might get back to her past hard-partying days after ending her decade-long marriage with Eric, per Radar Online.
