Jeremy Renner Likes Jessica Simpson's Post, Fans Take Notice
The "Hawkeye" actor responded by liking her comment, further fueling speculation about a possible rekindled connection.
Their recent interactions come more than a decade after the pair were first rumored to be dating in 2010 after being spotted together at a party for "The Hurt Locker."
At the time, Renner dismissed the rumors, saying they had only spoken briefly. Still, the history between them has fans watching their social media closely.
According to DailyMail, adding to the chatter, Renner returned the favor in March by showing his support for Simpson's new EP, "Nashville Canyon Part 1," congratulating her in the comments with a fire emoji and clapping hands.
Simpson, who recently separated from her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, has been open about moving forward and embracing new beginnings, especially in her music.
"I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free," she captioned her announcement post about the EP. "It's about surrendering, letting my voice be my main guide, and trusting the journey ahead."
Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson are raising three children together: 13-year-old Maxwell, 12-year-old Ace, and 6-year-old Birdie.
Their split, announced in January, came after what she called a "painful situation" in their marriage.
Meanwhile, Renner, who has a 12-year-old daughter with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, has had a low-key dating life in recent years.
