Things are not going well for Jessica Simpson's family – first her parents split and then the bombshell news broke about her father Joe's gay sex scandal, and now Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend have broken up!

Jessica's younger sister and Vincent Piazza have called it quits after a year-and-a-half of dating, saying that they had problems for a while.

"Vincent has been working a lot, so he hasn't been able to spend as much time with Ashlee, which has caused some problems. It was a mutual agreement to split, but things have been bumpy for a little while, so perhaps they might reconcile," the NY Post reported.

Ashlee began dating the Boardwalk Empire star after divorcing her husband Pete Wentz, the father of her son Bronx.

"There was no bad blood and no third party involved. It was honestly just a long distance relationship and it became too hard to make it work," a source told Us Weekly.
