Jessica Simpson Shares Message About “Dear Friend” Jeremy Renner After Romance Rumors

Jessica Simpson is singing Jeremy Renner’s praises.

The “With You” singer—who first sparked romance rumors with the Hawkeye actor 15 years ago—gushed about his new book, just over a month after the two exchanged a few flirty comments on social media.

“I’m so deeply proud of my dear friend and perspective motivator, @jeremyrenner,” Jessica wrote on her Instagram Stories May 6, “for releasing his memoir, My Next Breath, with the world.”

“If the vulnerability and truth within his audiobook doesn’t make you cry,” she continued, “or inspire you to live your live to the fullest, you are not human!”

In March, the Dukes of Hazard actress—who announced her split from Eric Johnson in January after 10 years of marriage—commented a flame emoji under a video Jeremy posted of himself working out shirtless.

And if that wasn’t enough to get fans buzzing about a potential budding romance, Jeremy—who was most recently romantically linked to influencer Cassandra “CC” Mason—was not shy in congratulating his longtime friend on the release of her latest EP, Nashville Canyon, Part 1.
