8. Ashlee and Jessica Simpson
These two former pop stars might live similar lives now — Ashlee is married to the artsy Evan Ross (could you imagine having Diana Ross as your mother-in-law?) and Jessica Simpson is married to NFL star Eric Johnson — but when Jessica was in her prime, Ashlee was known as Jessica’s little sister. And while she tried to come out with her own punk-rock sound, it didn’t seem to work. Ashlee even released a song called “Shadow” in 2004 and opened up about what it was like for her to consistently be compared to her older sister. I think Beyonce‘s younger sister, Solange, can relate to this. Now, Ashlee has certainly come into her own and really isn’t thought of as the younger sister of Jessica Simpson anymore (especially since Ashlee’s music career proved more successful than Jessica’s), but their feud was said to have hit a high point when their father and mother split. Their father was diagnosed with prostate cancer shortly after. This seems to have been a good time for them to stop their feud and come together as a family.
7. Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears
While Britney Spears was the big sister millions of teen girls wished they had, she was said to be feuding with her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears. This was for many of the same reasons that sparked Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s reported feud. Jamie Lynn Spears was definitely living in Britney’s shadow when she first hit the scene, but just like Ashlee, she was able to make a name for herself and even starred in a popular Nickelodeon series Zoey 101. Jamie Lynn definitely separated herself from Britney when it was revealed Jamie would be a teenage mother. Still, life hit both of them hard and Britney had her own meltdown nearly ten years ago, including the pivotal moment when she shaved her head. But now that they are both older, it’s safe to say they have grown closer over time. They’ve been spotted together on many occasions recently, including a recent family trip to Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Florida with their children.
