LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Jessica Simpson is coping with her recent split from Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, but according to a source close to the Simpson family, her loved ones are worried about the singer.

”[Her parents] encourage her to go out and have a good time, like she did this week,” a Simpson family friend told People.

But noted that while she’s out in public public, “she feels she’s being judged by the world and opts to hide out at home.”

The family’s attention has reportedly turned from younger sister Ashlee to Jessica now.

“The family used to have such faith in [Jessica] and they worried about Ashlee,” the family friend claimed. “Now they are fully confident in Ashlee’s choices and they worry most of their days about Jessica. It seems she just can’t catch a break.”

The family friend went on to say, “the family feels bad for Jessica. They worry for her a lot.”

Tony reportedly broke up with Jessica the night before her 29th birthday. Jessica was previously married to Nick Lachey and also dated John Mayer.
