Fifteen years after they were rumored to be an item, Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner are turning heads again—this time with some playful Instagram interactions.
Back in 2010, the two were spotted getting flirty at an Oscars party celebrating The Hurt Locker, with reports claiming they exchanged numbers before going their separate ways. At the time, Jeremy shut down the rumors, saying, “Her hairstylist [Ken Paves] did my mom’s hair, so we were talking about that, and then all of a sudden we’re dating!”
Fast forward to 2025, and the two are once again making headlines—this time for their friendly (and slightly cheeky) Instagram comments.
It all started when Jeremy posted a shirtless workout video two weeks ago, and Jessica dropped a fire emoji in the comments. Then, on March 21, Jessica took to Instagram to celebrate the release of her new album Nashville Canyon Part 1, writing, “#NashvilleCanyon is the result of learning to hear my heart again, free from industry expectations…” Jeremy showed his support, leaving a congratulatory comment on her post.
The fun continued when Jeremy shared another workout video on March 23, this time featuring his mom. “Training with my mom is [the] coolest thing ever,” he wrote. Jessica’s response? “I love this oh my…Mama is STRONG…I need to go do sit ups now 🤣”
While the exchange is nothing more than friendly fun, it’s definitely a full-circle moment for fans who remember their rumored flirtation. With Jessica newly single following her split from Eric Johnson and Jeremy keeping his dating life private, it’s no wonder people are speculating. For now, though, it looks like it’s all just nostalgic banter between old friends.
