Pete Wentz: Ashlee Simpson has brought balance to my life

Pete Wentz has said he can’t believe how much he has changed since marrying wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in May.

The couple dated for around 18 months before announcing their engagement in April this year then marrying in a private ceremony at her parent’s Beverly Hills home just three weeks later.

The Fall Out Boy star told the Sun: “It’s funny how things can change. My wife has brought a balance to my life that I could never have described to anyone.

“She’s the giant beam that I walk across and holds me up. But she’s also my safety net in case I fall.

“Being married has changed my life more than I could have imagined.”

Days after their wedding, the couple confirmed rumours that Ashlee was pregnant and they are set to welcome their first child next month.

Pete added that he’s “as ready as I can be” for fatherhood: “I’ve spoken to other dads, read the books and taken the classes with Ashlee. I’m as ready as I can be.

“I’m on standby at all times to go racing back if I need to. The band don’t have a plan in case she goes into labour. All I know is that I’m going to be in that labour room.”
