Ashlee Simpson Parties With Ex Pete Wentz and His Girlfriend for Son Bronx's Birthday
November 21, 2012

Her parents may be in the middle of a bitter divorce, but Ashlee Simpson** is keeping the peace with her ex-husband, rocker Pete Wentz.

The "Bat for a Heart" singer, 28, made nice with her 33-year-old former love and his current girlfriend, 24-year-old model Meagan Camper, to celebrate their son Bronx's 4th birthday at the Coop, a play space for kids in Studio City, Calif.

"The party was great -- super fun," a source tells Us Weekly of the superhero-themed shindig, which was also attended by Simpson pal Nicole Richie. (Conspicuously absent from the festivities: Ashlee's sister Jessica and her family, fiance Eric Johnson and daughter Maxwell Drew.)

Simpson, who finalized her divorce from the Fall Out Boy bassist on Nov. 22, 2011, appeared to get along amicably with her ex and his love of 14 months.

Not so amicable? Her parents, Joe and Tina Simpson, who announced in late October that they were divorcing after 35 years of marriage.

"Joe arrived first and made sure to leave before Tina got there," a second source tells Us. "It was very clear they didn't want to be there at the same time and are not on good terms."

The eyewitness adds that although Joe seemed happy to see his daughter and grandson -- "he hugged them both" -- he kept mostly to himself at the party. When he left, he "was hiding as he walked down the street with a hooded sweatshirt on. He looked like he didn't want to be seen."

It always makes me happy to see divorced parents getting along and being genuinely friendly toward each other. It shows that it can be done and that the children are and should be the first priority. I have many friends who grew up w/ divorced parents and they had some of the most awful stories about their parents. Good for them.

It's nice to see them co parenting and getting along. Alot of times kids get used as pawns or are pushed to the side when parents divorce.

Glad everyone gets along; it's how things should be done. Kids need both parents; they definitely need them to behave maturely towards one another; it teaches the children valuable life lessons. Too bad that amicability is more of the exception than the rule with broken families. Good for them all! Wow, Bronx is a cutie pie.....looooooove his curly hair. :)

Maybe Jessica had other obligations! I don't go to my niece's and nephew's party's, it's rare! I just wish their father didn't seem to feel uncomfortable! That seems Really Sad! Ahslee's is being Wonderful! Excellent Example of how Co-Parents should be for the sake of the Child! There's Nothing Wrong With being Civil for A Few Hours! KUDOS, Ashlee! A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
