Simpson explained that the moment allowed them to start texting each other. “It was kind of like she was my first love, man. Absolutely,” he said. “We were together for, on and off, about two years, but we started hanging out and a couple weeks later, she came on tour with me, and we again, it was a similar thing in that we bonded through her family, she came from a very, very interesting family.”
