Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz+ Baby

Yep. It's True

Newlyweds Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz say they are expecting a baby.


"While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child," read a statement Wednesday on Wentz's blog. "This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

Simpson-Wentz, 23, and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz, 28, exchanged vows earlier this month at Simpson's parents' Los Angeles-area home.
