This community is to gossip about Jimmi Simpson, a 48-year-old Emmy-nominated actor. He is currently dating a 20-something nepo baby named Kyra Gardner best known for working alongside her father on Chucky-related projects. Everything is alleged.
A few times in this subreddit, the topic of the murky timeline between Jimmi/Kyra/Sophia comes up. We don’t know definitively that Jimmi cheated on Sophia with Kyra Gardner but the timeline is suspicious (in my opinion). We are all internet randos speculating here, except Jimmi Simpson and Kyra Gardner who are probably lurking.
2018/2019 - Jimmi Simpson and Sophia Del Pizzo meet and get engaged.
There isn’t much to talk about here, although someone on Datalounge did point out that they had been dating for around five months before getting engaged.
Jimmi himself mentioned that he wanted to get married because it would “feel good” which… seems impulsive. At some point during this time Sophia and Jimmi adopt/rescue a pair of cats, one named M’liege and the other named Princess Bubblegum (Peebs for short).
They marry shortly after this.
Early 2020 - The Panini - Initially during the panini we globally went through, Jimmi and Sophia Del Pizzo were together. Sophia filmed some Youtube videos from California and they did stuff like shop for local produce together.
September(?)-December of 2020 - Kyra Gardner gets a job as an assistant director for BTS footage(?) in the movie Studio 666 alongside her father, Tony Gardner. Jimmi is also cast in the movie. This photo is allegedly taken during this time period. He and Kyra are snuggled together and look very couple-y.
Jimmi lists his date of separation as November 2020 which coincides with when Studio 666 resumed shooting and when that photo was most likely taken.
Note: Studio 666 was not a good movie (56% on Rotten Tomatoes).
Sophia travels back to the UK to visit her ailing father (no screenshots, Sophia deleted her twitter, sorry) and also to film season 1 of Whitstable Pearl. I don’t think she thought that this would be a permanent move, since she appears to have left her cat (her shared cat?) Peebs in California.
Note: I just now started writing this post and realized that I did not keep screenshots of everything but I followed Sophia on Twitter at around this time and there was a tweet from November of 2020 that was like "this is the worst day of my life." There were also tweets from October of 2020 that mention that Jimmi would be in the UK later that year. I think she was genuinely blindsided (but once again no screenshots so my memory might be faulty). I have tried to think of a circumstance where leaving your wife while her father is dying for a nepo baby you met at work would be moral and honestly it is grimy even if it was an open marriage situation (my opinion/speculation, of course).
February 2021 - Marco Del Pizzo, Sophia’s father, passes away (RIP). Jimmi leaves this comment on the memorial page. Kind of wierdly cold, imho. "You have the love of so many" (but not me).
I think Jimmi blocked Kyra Gardner some time in March of 2023(? - I speculate!!) so all of her likes on his posts from this time period are gone.
July 2021 - Jimmi files for divorce from Sophia and lists November as his separation date. This filing comes just five months after Sophia's father died.
2022 - January 2023 - Kyra Gardner starts marking her territory by leaving lovey dovey comments on his photos. She also posts the photo from 2020 on Instagram - years after it was originally taken.
Jimmi and Sophia's divorce is finalized.
