Though Joe definitely had a say in Jessica’s marriage to Nick Lachey, 21-year-old Ashlee has told her dad to "butt out" of her relationship with her 20-year-old bandmate, Braxton Olita. Ashlee and Braxton have been dating since the fall of 2005 and are apparently "pre-engaged." "There's no date or ring yet, but there's a deep commitment," an insider told the Enquirer.

Since Joe was rumored to have contributed to Jessica and Nick’s split, Ashlee’s not taking any chances with Braxton. A source said, "When Joe suggested his younger daughter play the field, she held up her hand and told him to back off. Now that she and Braxton are talking marriage, she's giving her father advance warning that his advice is one wedding present she can live without."
