In case you’re wondering, even daughter-in-law Ashlee Simpson gets a little nervous around Diana Ross sometimes. “It’s nerve-wracking at first playing music for anyone when it’s new but definitely her!” Simpson confessed on an episode of the “Jennifer Hudson Show” when asked about what it was like sharing her music with the iconic singer. “You’re like, ‘Oh please like it.’ Definitely butterflies,” she explained during her appearance. Still, the “Pieces of Me” singer was adamant that she had nothing but love for Ross. “She’s such a wonderful mother-in-law,” Simpson gushed.

As it turns out, there are plenty of perks to having Ross as a mother-in-law! “She’s very encouraging,” Simpson told host Jennifer Hudson. “She helped us on the album,” Simpson revealed, referring to her and her husband, Evan Ross’ 2018 EP aptly titled, “Ashlee + Evan.” In a separate interview for Rolling Stone, Evan told the publication that his mother not only did a song for them [“Whole Lot of Love”] but also came up with the melody. “She loves the way we sound together,” Evan said. And, when Evan and Simpson embarked on a whole new kind of project together, Diana was front and center for that one, too.
