Is newly single Ashlee Simpson already moving on?A month after filing for divorce from rocker Pete Wentz, Simpson was photographed at an L.A. mall with another musician, Craig Owens of the band D.R.U.G.S.
But a source close to the singer/actress says reports of a budding romance with Owens, 26, – who is signed to Wentz's Decaydance Records – are just not true.
"Craig is a longtime friend and was comforting Ashlee during this difficult time," the Simpson source tells PEOPLE. "She's not moving on. There's no race for a new relationship. They're friends."
Recent reports that Simpson, 26, and Wentz, 31, are gearing up for a custody battle are also untrue, according to the source. "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."
So what does Wentz think of all this?
Says a source close to the rocker: "The only thing on Pete's mind right now is spending as much time with Bronx as he can before goes out on the road next week."
