<p id=”par-2_61″>Jeremy Renner and Jessica Simpson don’t seem to care who knows they are fans of each other. The duo, rumored to have had a flirtation back in 2010, have been commenting on Instagram posts. Simpson started the banter by commenting on one of Renner’s workout videos. He “liked” her emoji-centric comment. Renner didn’t let Simpson do all of the talking, though.</p>

<p id=”par-5_63″>While Simpson’s fans would like to see her find love again, Jeremy Renner might not be the suitor they are hoping for. While Renner’s acting career has been nothing but big wins, he hasn’t been as lucky in love. Several of his former flames and their families have spoken out against the <em>Hurt Locker</em> star. He’s made some pretty <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/notable-people/a-list-of-jeremy-renners-most-controversial-statements.html/”>controversial statements,</a> too. </p>

<p id=”par-6_74″>Renner was married just once for 11 months. His ex-wife, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jeremy-renner-will-his-ex-wifes-accusations-hurt-his-marvel-status.html/”>Sonni Pacheco</a>, accused the fame star of substance abuse and emotional abuse throughout their short-lived relationship.
