As is common between fathers and daughters, one particular point of contention between Joe and Jessica is Jessica’s dating life. Joe does not picture his daughter with the fun-loving type of guys - like Dane Cook, Adam Levine and John Mayer - she’s been linked to since splitting with Nick Lachey. But Jessica doesn’t care what her dad thinks. A source for the Enquirer said, “[Jessica] recently told [Joe], 'Dad, I'm capable of making my own choices. If I need your opinion, I have all your numbers!'�?

Unsurprisingly, Papa Simpson was blown away by Jessica’s outburst. The insider said, "Joe was shocked. He just wants what all Dads want - for his kid to be happy. Joe is a worrier, and he doesn't want Jessica to settle for the first guy she's with. That's why they're clashing. But Jessica wants to have fun right now - and her dad just can't seem to stop meddling."
