At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards held on September 7 in New York, Ashlee Simpson shared a heartfelt revelation with E! News. Despite being married to Evan Ross for over a decade, he had never witnessed her perform live until their 11th wedding anniversary on August 30. During her ‘I Am Me’ show in Las Vegas, Evan was in the audience, marking a significant moment in their relationship.

Simpson expressed her joy, stating, “It was so cool because Evan’s never seen me play a show. We’ve played shows together, but he’s never actually seen me in action.” She added that his reaction was deeply touching: “He was like, ‘Wow, you’re so good.’ I was really touched. It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.”

This intimate moment not only highlighted their enduring love but also showcased Simpson’s return to the stage after a hiatus. Her Las Vegas residency has been a personal and professional milestone, reconnecting her with fans and family alike.

Additionally, Simpson’s reunion with her sister, Jessica Simpson, at the VMAs added to the evening’s emotional resonance. The sisters presented together during the ceremony, sparking discussions about potential future collaborations. Ashlee hinted at the possibility, saying, “I definitely think that could be in the works, for sure. That’s something I think we’d love to do.”
