‘I Think We Are Done’

Before this, the pair welcomed their second child in January 2021. The baby, Ziggy Blu Ross, came six years after their first daughter, Jagger Ross. Simpson is also mom to 13-year-old Bronx Wentz, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Pete Wentz.
As reported by Simpson, Ziggy is over a year old and has begun to say “jibby jabber and other cute things.”
“He says Ross and Jagger,” Simpson added.
While everyone was happy about the birth of Ziggy, older sister Jagger didn’t take kindly to the news that the baby was a boy.
“Well, she loves the baby but when she found out it was a boy, at first, she was super, super mad,” Evan recalled on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show.” “She was furious. We did a gender reveal with the whole family on Zoom and I could see her like, on my side and it was like, she broke down, she was like [bends over], ‘It’s a boy.’ [She] was like, so upset.”

“This is from Emily from Wisconsin,” the host began. “She writes, ‘We are new parents and exhausted! We feel like there is no more room for romance. What can we do to not lose the spark?'”
“That’s a good question,” Simpson. “I feel like we are constantly on right now, right?”
She continued, “Because there’s like 5, 12 and a baby and you’re changing diapers all day and whatnot, but I think for us, I mean you are really good at it too, you are like, ‘It’s the middle of the day, baby’s asleep. You know try to get in.'”
Her husband also added that the romance didn’t always have to be at night. “Whenever you know? Find the time.”
