Saying he's not a controlling father but just a manager that works seven days a week, 24/7, papa Joe Simpson says he hearts his new son-in-law Pete Wentz who got daughter Ashlee preggers and thinks pro athlete Tony Romo - who Jessica is try to land - is just a "good kid".
Joe just wants everyone to know he’s not the controlling father he’s made out to be: “The media says that I try to plan everything - If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me,” he tells Extra.
He adds that Jessica “... is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the QB, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”
Us magazine reports in the current issue that Joe asked Romo, 28, to let him help represent him. As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!
Joe tells Extra that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7."
Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete, adds, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”
