Joe’s family is super religious (his dad is a former ordained minister from an Assemblies of God church) and a friend of the family’s tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively Denise isn’t Ashley’s biggest fan.
“Normally he’s the one calling the shots, but now Ashley’s the one leading the relationship,” our insider says. “She’s edgier and older than Joe’s other girlfriends and his mom isn’t thrilled about the situation.”
Joe, 21, has always been the ladies’ man out of his brothers, but until now, he’s only dated seemingly innocent girls, like Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and Camilla Belle. Unlike those ladies, Ashley, 23, isn’t as much of a goody two shoes (see: her sex store extravaganza).
Our source adds, “They’ve instilled really moral believes in their boys, and Joe has always been the one to push the envelope a little bit. Denise knows her boys are heartthrobs, but she’s kind of nervous of the way Ashley has Joe wrapped around her finger.”
According to our source, although she has trepidations about the new union, ultimately Denise wants the world for her boys and will do just about anything to ensure their happiness — even if it means accepting Ashley.
“She’s trying to give Ashley a shot,” the insider explains, adding, “But things are a little strained.”
Joe and Ashley have most recently been with each other in Baton Rouge, Louis., where she’ll be filming the final installments of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn until the spring.
