Fiancee Ashlee Simpson reportedly pregnant

Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz and his fiancée Ashlee Simpson are to become parents, it is being reported.

The bassist and his singer girlfriend just announced their engagement last week and now Usmagazine.com is reporting that Simpson is pregnant with their first child.

Simpson, the sister of reality star/singer Jessica Simpson, has been dating Wentz since 2006 and as previously reported she posted a blog confirming their engagement on April 10.

“Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us." - Ashlee and Pete

The usmagazine.com report says a source confirmed the pregnancy, but so far has no official comment from either Simpson or Wentz’ camps.
