A source has denied that Ashlee Simpson is in a new relationship, after pictures emerged of the singer with musician Craig Owens.

People reports that the pair were spotted together at a Los Angeles shopping centre, sparking rumours that the 26-year-old had started dating Owens - from band D.R.U.G.S. - since filing for divorce from Pete Wentz.

However, an insider told the magazine that Simpson is not romantically involved with anyone.

"Craig is a longtime friend and was comforting Ashlee during this difficult time," they explained.

"She's not moving on. There's no race for a new relationship. They're friends."

The source added: "Ashlee and Pete's split is amicable and they're working together to make this as positive a situation for [2-year-old son] Bronx as possible.

"Right now her attention is on Bronx and some new work projects she has coming up. That's it."
