The Hot Chick actress said she 'grew up dancing and theater and weird and entertaining,' as a child.

She would often do younger sister-type stuff to 'embarrass and annoy' Jessica when they were younger, but never felt she was in her shadow.

'I felt like my own person,' she stated, adding she never felt the 'need to be like' her sister, who signed with Columbia Records in 1997, aged seventeen.

Getting married, divorced, re-married and becoming mothers has also helped the two bond.

Ashlee is mom to Bronx, 13, whom she shares with her ex-husband Pete Wentz, 44.

She is now married to Evan Ross, 35, and they share two children, Jagger, eight, and Ziggy, three.

Jessica was married to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, from 2002-2006, and married former NFL player Eric Johnson, 44, in 2014.

They share three children, Maxwell, 11, Ace, 10 and Birdie, four.

'I think my sister's a really strong person and she, as well, has been through so much,' she said admiringly.

'I think there's a strength there, there's a comfort, there's something no one would understand but us, and I've been so lucky to have that.'

Ashlee credits their mother, Tina, 64, for seeing their differences and giving each what she needed.

'My mom really would pay attention and see me, like, if I needed something different or like she would make that time, you know...now that we're all parents we finally get like, the other side,' she said.
