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.
