When asked about the potential of stepping into the role of a "stage dad" should his son pursue a music career, Ross remained playful, noting he is uncertain but committed to being present for his children. "We’ll see," he remarked. "I don’t know about being a stage dad, but I’ll be there."

Amid their conversation, Ross also mentioned his eldest stepson, Bronx, 17, whom Ashlee Simpson shares with her ex-husband, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. He shared that the children enjoy listening to music, offering candid opinions on their parents’ work. "They just judge us and see whether we’re good or not," he joked.

The Ross family recently made headlines during their appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 on June 10, 2024, where they sported casual looks and posed together on the red carpet.

In an earlier interview, Ashlee Simpson expressed pride in being considered "cool parents." While attending Coachella, she mentioned bringing Bronx along with a friend and teased that her husband is "probably cooler than me."
