nickfan 25 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 We're told Pete agrees with Ashlee -- no third parties were involved. According to one connected source, "After Bronx was born Ashlee made a conscious decision to get out of the business, but Pete's heart was in music so he kept touring and that became a big issue in their relationship." A conflict has already emerged, because sources tell TMZ Pete wants joint legal and physical custody of Bronx. In Ashlee's divorce papers, she's asking for primary physical custody.

nickfan 25 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 http://www.usmagazine.com/healthylifestyle...-trouble-201192 Ashlee and Pete's Shocking Split: Early Signs of Trouble Credit: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Wednesday – February 09, 2011 – 3:58pm Comments (3) » Wedded bliss didn't last very long for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz. Although the couple's Wednesday divorce announcement came as a shock to many, insiders saw trouble brewing way back in June 2009 -- when Ashlee, 26, and Pete, 31, were married for a mere 13 months, and prone to explosive blowouts often punctuated by alcohol. PHOTOS: Look back on Ashlee and Pete's romance At issue? Balancing their professional and romantic lives with the pressures of parenting an infant son, Bronx, then 7 months. At the time, the duo fought "constantly," and singer-actress Ashlee was "seriously considering leaving him," one insider said. PHOTOS: Heartbreaking Hollywood splits Things boiled over at a June 1 party -- where a visibly drunk Ashlee got into a nasty public spat with Michelle Trachtenberg, Pete's ex girlfriend. Simpson-Wentz was "reverting to drinking and going out, because she is sick and tired of her life," another pal said. The alcohol was "an outlet for her unhappiness, and Pete is getting fed up." After hanging out in the same social circles for years, the couple got romantic in late 2006 -- and raced to the altar in May 2008, when she was 3-months pregnant. PHOTOS: Stars who wed too young "Ashlee loved Bronx but jumped into marriage and having a baby too quickly," one pal told Us. "They feel they got trapped in a situation they were too young for." In Wednesday's statement released by their spokesperson, the couple said: "We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority." http://www.usmagazine.com/healthylifestyle...-trouble-201192 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElleDriver 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Pal: Why Pete Wentz "Couldn't Trust" Ashlee Simpson When the going gets tough, the tough go partying -- at least Ashlee Simpson does. Although their Feb. 9 divorce announcement took many by surprise, pals close to Simpson and husband Pete Wentz tell the new Us Weekly that the spouses of nearly three years "have been talking about splitting up forever." Simpson, 26, had coped in part with the impending split by having some late, late-night fun. "Ashlee has been out late partying for the past few months," says one insider. Specifically, the singer-actress -- and mom to son Bronx, 2 -- hangs with a crew of pro skateboarders in San Clemente, Calif., and returns home at sunrise. "She would lose track of time," the insider says. Fall Out Boy rocker Wentz, 31, "started getting burnt out" by those antics, another source says. On the road with his band, he "would constantly check in on Ashlee, and he'd have his friends call the house and her cell to make sure she said she was where she said she was going to be," an insider explains.

nickfan 25 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 Exclusive: Newly Single Ashlee Simpson Goes House-hunting Credit: MOE/Fame Pictures Friday – February 18, 2011 – 5:30pm Comments (0) » First item on Ashlee Simpson's post-divorce checklist: find a new pad. A source tells UsMagazine.com the singer-actress, 26, has been crashing at her parents' place since she filed for divorce from Pete Wentz February 9 (the Fall Out Boy rocker, 31, has been staying at their $4.5 million Beverly Hills home) and on Wednesday she seemed determined to change that. PHOTOS: Look back on Ashlee and Pete's romance Simpson spent the morning house-hunting with a real estate broker in the Beverly Hills area, a second insider says. "They drove by a few houses in the $3 to 4 million range," the source tells Us. "Ashlee didn't get out of the car and was quiet and subdued. At one point, she was going to get out of the car but when she saw photographers she decided to stay in the car and then went home." PHOTOS: Check out these celebrity dream homes One criteria for Simpson's new spread is that it's suitable for her two-year-old son Bronx. "The homes were two-story traditional style homes in a family neighborhood," says the source. "One of the houses was just up from the street from Coldwater Park where she and Pete like to take Bronx to play." PHOTOS: More heartbreaking splits Another plus, adds the insider, "The homes were also very close to [sister] Jessica's house, which would be nice for her." http://www.usmagazine.com/healthylifestyle...hunting-2011182 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
