Ashlee Simpson, Vincent Piazza split

Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend, “Boardwalk Empire” star Vincent Piazza, have split after nearly 1 1/2 years of dating, Page Six has exclusively learned. The singer and Piazza broke up over the Thanksgiving holiday, sources tell us, after his burgeoning career kept them apart. One source told us, “Vincent has been working a lot, so he hasn’t been able to spend as much time with Ashlee, which has caused some problems. It was a mutual agreement to split, but things have been bumpy for a little while, so perhaps they might reconcile.” Simpson began dating Piazza in June 2011, following her split with Pete Wentz, the father of her 3-year-old son, Bronx. Reps for both Simpson and Piazza didn’t get back to us last night. Meanwhile, it’s been a busy time for the Simpson family. Sister Jessica has been adjusting to motherhood while rapidly losing her baby weight, while parents Joe and Tina recently announced they were splitting after 24 years of marriage. After gay rumors concerning Joe surfaced, a Simpson rep said, “It is an amicable split, and there is no third party involved.”
