Joe Simpson, 56, landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to a flurry of photographers who were all trying to snap a picture of him and his 21-year-old “client,” Jonathan Keith. Why all the commotion? Most of the fuss has to do with the recent photos of Joe taking pictures of a Speedo-clad Jonathan in Miami.
Joe divorced his wife Tina Simpson in April 2013 after 35 years of marriage, amidst rumors of him being gay. He has been fighting those rumors ever since, but on Feb. 18, when he landed at LAX with Jonathan by his side, the rumor mill started churning once again.
Joe took to Twitter the day he landed, denouncing the rumors and maintaining that his relationship with Jonathan is strictly professional:
More mis-information in the news. The guy in the pics is my modeling Client. He was in Miami taking agency meetings. That’s it!!

Joe has been Jonathan’s manager for the last five months, TMZ reports, and according to JT Entertainment, Jonathan seems to be just one of Joe’s clients, aside from his well-known daughters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson.
What do you think HollywoodLifers, is Joe telling the truth? Is he just keeping things professional? Leave us your thoughts in the comments.
