Simpson, 28, was previously married to rocker Pete Wentz, with whom she has a son, Bronx, 4. After her 2011 divorce, she began dating "Boardwalk Empire" actor Vincent Piazza, but they split last year.
The two were first spotted as a couple in July, but it already seemed serious, because they went out twice in 24 hours, including a late night at Teddy's, the club at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel.
Later that month they attended a party celebrating the Jessica Simpson Collection's fall line together; the singer is the face of the campaign. (Jessica Simpson, 33, who welcomed a son, Ace, last month, was the creative director.)
"Ashlee was there for work, so she was mingling with the guests," a fellow partygoer told ABC News at the time. But "Evan was supportive and stayed by her side. They're a very cute couple!"
Throughout the bash, they held hands and "were affectionate," but mostly stayed low-key with their PDA. "It was cute," the source added.
