Papa Joe is going solo.
Joe Simpson - who, for a while, seemed
as ubiquitous as his daughter Jessica - is divorcing his wife since
1978, Tina. The couple are parents to Ashlee as well as Jessica.
"It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved," a rep for the Simpsons tells People. "Any other related allegations are completely false. The family appreciates your respect for their privacy at this time."
