Jessica Simpson's son is getting seriously tall. In a new photo, the singer gave her fans a glimpse at her 12-year-old, Ace, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gave her a sweet kiss on the top of her head. And yes, he is almost a whole head taller than her already. Simpson wore a black minidress and knee-high socks along with a jacket, while Ace wore a basketball jersey.
"My 12yr old Ace is much taller than is Mama," she wrote above the black-and-white photo. She added the song "Stand By Me" sung by Ben E. King and added, "Fun fact... he was born to this tune."

It would appear that Ace has had quite the growth spurt this year. Simpson shared a JulyInstagrampost to mark his 12th birthday—and he was still shorter than his mother then.
"Happy 12th Birthday Ace!!! You are the sun. You are the moon. You are the wishes of every shooting star. You are the light. You are the way. You are the love that makes your Mamas heart glow!" Simpson wrote alongside photos of her son." There's absolutely nothing you can't do. You excel in every single thing without even tryin'. You're just that kid with a heart of gold that can do it ALL. Everything you do and all that you are makes me so very proud. I love you ACE the GREAT!"
