Star magazine is reporting that Ashlee Simpson, wife of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and mother to their 6-month old only begotten son Brownx Mowgli, is pregs again with the couple’s second child. Claiming that she is only “a few weeks along”, the tabloid maintains that Ashlee is trying to keep the news “private” for a couple of months. Ashlee made a red carpet appearance at a T-Mobile Sidekick party here in LA this week and she was lookin’ anything but pregs in her figure hugging little black dress. So … is she or isn’t she?
Ashlee Simpson is pregnant with another baby, Star Magazine reports, adding that its source says the singer is “just a few weeks along” and is “beyond thrilled” with the upcoming addition to her and husband Pete Wentz’s family. Though so, she opts to keep the news private “for at least two more months” before sharing it with the press. In related news, another tabloid reports Ashlee hopes the baby she is carrying will make her and Pete closer than ever as their hectic schedules have made them strained. “… She loves Pete and wants to hang on to him. She believes this second baby will really clinch the deal,” the tabloid reportedly writes. Unlike Ashlee, Pete is said not yet ready to father a second child. “He loves Ash and Bronx,” claims the tabloid when referring to how the Fall Out Boy bassist feels toward Ashlee and their baby boy. “But he also loves his freedom. He thinks a second kid could change things for the worse. He doesn’t want to be tied down and stuck at home all the time” No official confirmation nor denial has been made by Ashlee and Pete concerning Star Magazine’s report of her second pregnancy. The accuracy of the tabloid’s claim on the celebrity couple’s rocky marriage is also not yet addressed. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were longtime lovers before they made their union official in a wedding ceremony held in May 2008. They welcomed the arrival of son Bronx Mowgli Wentz in November the same year.
Star mag was smart to include the bit about her being only “a few weeks along” … clearly, they know she doesn’t look pregs but their report can be more easily believed if they make that qualifier clear. Who knows, they could be right … of course, depending on who their sources are. It should be noted that celebs usually issue their denials pretty soon after false reports start making the rounds … as of yet, neither Ashlee nor Pete has made a comment one way or the other. It wouldn’t really surprise me if the couple does, in fact, plan to have a second child but it seems much too soon for her to be birthin’ another baby. Whatever the case may be, first — Ashlee looks sensational, second — the couple seems very happy together. I guess we’ll know sooner or later if Ashl33n are expecting or not. My gut says no … what do y’all think?

I would say “maybe.” If she is, it’s far too soon to make any sort of announcement because anything can—and does—happen within the first trimester of pregnancy. The last thing anyone would want to do is announce news like this only to report back weeks later with a heart-breaking statement.
Most women don’t really make the big announcements of expecting a child until the first trimester is over. Most miscarriages happen in the first three months and though Ashlee is in good health and it probably won’t happen, I think it’s best to respect her privacy because if such a thing happens she will constantly be reminded. This goes for all expecting mothers, you just never know.
While I don’t think she is, I just gotta say, if Pete Wentz actually feels the way that article says, he’s an even bigger d-bag than I thought. You don’t want to be stuck at home all the time, but it’s okay if she is? Sounds like a pig.
she looks really skinny in that side shot, in an unhealthy kind of way.
I think she looks pretty amazing for ANYONE, much less someone with a 6 month old! I wouldn’t be surprised either way…birthing babies seems to be very IN these days. :)
Oh yes, cos having a second child is the way for two people with hectic schedules to “clinch the deal” – seriously wtf kind of reporting is that? I seriously doubt Ashlee is tricking Pete into knocking her up in hopes he’ll stick around, and in anycase, since when does having babies with someone mean happily-ever-after?
If she is pregnant, she’ll announce it after the first trimester, and it’s probably either a planned “lets have a second baby” pregancy or a “opps forgot the condom” happy surprise – at least that’s honest rather than reporting drama for the sake of a story.
i’ve toured with them selling merch and i can say that he has been on tour for the past couple of weeks and i don’t recall ashlee showing up to any of the dates. let me also clarify that despite what tabloids say, pete is a terrific, kind-spirited person. it always surprises me to hear people call him out on being a douchebag when they’ve never even met the guy. from a kid who went from being a fan to a member of their crew, i can tell you that he’s probably one of the most nicest people i know.
umm…..if THAT looks pregs, than I must look about 4 months along now…
….Her chin looks so pointy in that 2nd picture…it freaks me out..
She looks so thin! But a pregnant belly doesn’t really start to show until the 5th or 6th month.
No way she is yet… I was quite bloated when I realized I was pregnant with #2 – one shows much earlier with #2 because the ab muscles are already lax.
