(Cover) - EN Showbiz - The young man who allegedly had an affair with Jessica Simpson's father Joe "loves to boast about" their tryst.

Reports surfaced recently claiming Joe, a former Baptist minister known for managing the careers of daughters Jessica and Ashlee, was having an affair with a 21-year-old male aspiring model named Bryce Chandler Hill.

Joe's estranged wife of over 34 years Tina just filed divorce papers in Texas stating "irreconcilable differences" as the cause of their split.

Apparently Bryce may also be an issue.

"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," a source told Radar Online.

"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.

"TJ introduced Bryce to the Simpsons and that's how he met Joe.

"Bryce claims he's been dating Joe for roughly a year and absolutely loves to boast about it because he loves being the centre of attention."

Bryce is said to be using Joe for his connections, nothing more.

"Bryce is desperate to become famous, he's done lots of modeling shoots and wants to become an actor," the insider explained.

"When he met Joe, he knew what a good job he had done in managing Jessica and Ashlee's careers and wanted a piece of the pie himself.

"But the sad thing is, he mocks and laughs at Joe behind his back. He doesn't care for him in the same way Joe does about him." (C) Cover Media
