Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Files for Divorce
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are separating after 2½-years of marriage.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the couple said via a spokesperson. “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”
TMZ reports that the divorce documents were filed in L.A. Superior Court, with Simpson citing “irreconcilable differences” and seeking spousal support.
The court papers say the couple’s date of separation is to be determined and Simpson is seeking primary physical custody of their 2-year-old son, Bronx, with visitation for Wentz.
She is also seeking to go back to her maiden name of Simpson and drop “Wentz.”
