The man who is in the house is my father. (complex sentence)
The man in the house is my father. (Still a complex sentence?)
The Evening Show which is airing this month has a new host. (a complex sentence)
The Evening Show airing this month has a new host. (Still a complex sentence?)
What about appositives?
Her hair, which is long and golden, reflected the sunlight. (a complex sentence)
Her hair, long and golden, reflected the sunlight. (Still a complex sentence
