Ashlee Simpson praises her son Bronx Mowgli

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashlee Simpson says her son Bronx Mowgli is becoming a “smart, sweet and amazing” little boy. The former singer raises the 4½-year-old with ex husband Pete Wentz.

“He’s always funny,” she said.

“He keeps you on your toes and he’s got great stories and a great imagination. When I was doing Chicago, he said he was making his own play about ninjas.”

Bronx has also taken on the role of doting cousin to Ashlee’s sister, Jessica Simpson’s children, Maxwell Drew, 14 months, and Ace Knute, 4 weeks.

“Oh he loves it. He’ll get it soon. Right now, he’s like ‘OK, Maxwell, come hang out with me! Let’s go to your play room,’ ” she explains. “We are always all together. We’re a close family.”
