HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Singer Ashlee Simpson is reportedly pregnant, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
It would be the first child for the 23-year-old Simpson and her beau, 28-year-old Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, who has denied the tabloid’s claims.
“There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood,” he wrote to MTV News Monday. “This is all news to me. I can’t wait for the story about how I’m really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover … I mean really, this is crazy … I mean we’re engaged, that’s true, and happy about it.”
The couple, who have been dating since 2006, announced their engagement last Wednesday.
When asked about the pregancy reports, a rep for the couple added to MTV News, “We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple. Beyond that there is nothing to add.”
