Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner had a flirty exchange on social media over a decade after they were first rumored to be dating.
Reigniting romance rumors, the singer, now single, left flirty comments for the Oscar-nominated actor, 54, after viewing his thirst traps on Instagram.
Simpson, 44, recently announced the split between her and her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, in January and has since hinted that their separation was due to infidelity.
Back in March 2010, Simpson and Renner were rumored to be dating after they were spotted together at a party for his action-thriller The Hurt Locker.
At the time, it was reported that they exchanged numbers before going their separate ways.
Shortly afterwards, however, Renner denied the speculation and explained their connection.

‘#NashvilleCanyon is the result of learning to hear my heart again, free from industry expectations. It’s about surrendering, letting my voice be my main guide, and trusting the journey ahead. Always inviting God into the room where music creates itself, with a voice that communicates on a spiritual level of grace without fear and allowing the music to be my main voice.’
