Joe Simpson, Tina Simpson's Divorce Finalized

Joe And Tina Simpson Officially Divorced

According to People, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's parents' divorce has been finalized after Tina filed court documents in September 2012. The 53-year-old cited "discord or conflict of personalities" for the split.

Joe -- sometimes referred to as "Papa Joe" -- and Tina tied the knot in Texas in 1978.

After the couple called it quits, rumors started spreading that Joe, 55, had come out as gay to his family. Still, a rep for the Simpsons said, "It's an amicable split and there is no third party involved. Any other related allegations are completely false."

Joe, a former pastor, is the longtime manager to singer-turned-designer Jessica, 32, and singer and actress Ashlee, 28.
