Ashlee Simpson’s Early Life and Career
Ashlee Simpson was born on October 3rd, 1984, in Waco, Texas. She moved to Los Angeles in 1999, alongside her family, as her father Joe Simpson focused on her older sister Jessica’s pop career. Simpson started her career as a TV commercial actress and backup dancer for her sister’s concerts. Later, she pursued a higher-profile music career of her own while continuing to work as a TV commercial actress.
Ashlee Simpson’s Career Highlights
Ashlee Simpson started her career with minor acting roles in TV shows and movies like Malcolm in the Middle and The Hot Chick. She gained popularity as a series regular in 7th Heaven, but her interest in music led her to release her first song “Christmas Past, Present, and Future” in 2002. Her breakthrough in the music industry came with her debut album Autobiography, released in 2004, which positioned her as an edgier alternative to her sister Jessica by incorporating a rock-influenced sound.
However, her fame took a hit in 2004 when she lip-synched on an episode of Saturday Night Live. The incident got a significant amount of media attention and mockery, and her next single “Shadow” failed to match the commercial success of her previous releases. She released her second album I Am Me in 2005, which sold well but failed to match the success of its predecessor. Her third album Bittersweet World, released in 2008, marked a stylistic departure from her previous efforts and continued her commercial decline.
Ashlee Simpson returned to TV with a regular role on the CW’s Melrose Place revival in 2009 and appeared as a guest judge on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 17 in 2011. After some time out of the spotlight, she returned to reality TV in 2018 with her husband Evan Ross and released a single together entitled “I Do.”
Ashlee Simpson’s Success on the Musical Stage
Ashlee Simpson found success on the musical stage, starting in 2009 when she played Roxie Hart in the Broadway and London productions of the musical Chicago.

In April 2020, the couple announced Simpson’s second pregnancy on Instagram.
Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross’ Homes
