Ashlee Simpson gushed over her firstborn son Bronx on Instagram this Tuesday as he celebrated his 14th birthday.

The 38-year-old pop act, who shares Bronx with her first husband Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy fame, posted a heartwarming black-and-white selfie with her son.

‘BRONX happy birthday my grown boy,’ she wrote. ‘Can’t believe you are 14. You are the kindest, and coolest. I am so lucky to be your mom.’

The birthday boy was also heaped with praise by his music star aunt Jessica Simpson as she marked the occasion on Instagram.

‘Happy 14th Birthday BX!!! I love you SO very much,’ Jessica rhapsodized. ‘You are a gift to everyone who is lucky enough know you, love you and be loved by you.’

She added: ‘Being your Aunt…has been…WILL ALWAYS BE…one of the most precious blessings of my life! Thank you for being YOU!’

Jessica, who has three children with her second husband Eric Johnson, also spared warm words for her younger sister Ashlee, whom she called ‘my role model.’

Ashlee and Pete married in 2008 only to split up in 2011, whereupon they released a statement insisting: ‘We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority.’ 

For the past eight years she has been married to Diana Ross’ son Evan, with whom she shares her two younger children Jagger, seven, and Ziggy, two.

Meanwhile Pete has been involved with the model Meagan Camper since 2011 and has two children with her – Saint, eight, and Marvel, four.

A few years ago Ashlee lifted the curtain on her co-parenting equation with Pete, telling Us Weekly she ‘lucked out’ with how ‘wonderful’ he and Meagan are. 

Pete has also publicly called Ashlee a ‘great mom,’ sharing one co-parenting tip to Us Weekly: ‘I think it’s important to listen and to give people balance.’
