Simpson, 40, continued, “You have been the greatest blessing in life that I could have ever dreamed of. I would not be me without you. Thank you for choosing me to be a mom, and YOUR mom.

“You are so calm, consistent, brilliant, loving, kind hearted, thoughtful, funny, mysterious, and incredibly awesome,” she added. “I thank God every day that I get to be your mom. You are a true gift to this universe and I’m so lucky you are my very grown, and cool baby.”

The former MTV personality concluded her post by calling herself the “luckiest” parent.

Simpson gushed on the “Broad Ideas” podcast in February about winning “the co-parenting lottery” with Wentz and Camper, 35.

“Pete’s a great guy, and Meagan is amazing,” she said at the time, going on to call Ross, 36, “the best bonus dad.”

The “Ashlee + Evan” co-stars married in 2014.
