Ashlee Simpson stuck at home while Pete Wentz parties

90303NC1

New parents Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are having trouble in their marriage – at least if Page Six is to be believed. The couple used to be a permanent fixture on the party scene, but since little Bronx Mowgli came into the world they’ve had to tone it down. Well, half of them has. Ashlee’s been stuck at home while Pete is still partying as much as ever. And not surprisingly, that’s created some resentment and friction within the marriage.

PARTY animals-turned-parents Ashlee Simpson (above) and Pete Wentz are having trouble with their new domestic lifestyle. An insider told Page Six, “Ashlee and Pete are on the rocks. He is going out all the time and she’s stuck at home. It’s just not working.”

A rep for Simpson, who’s currently spending some alone time with her hubby in Australia without baby Bronx Mowgli, said, “This is not true. Everything is fine in their world.”

Thank goodness celebs employ high-priced reps who do nothing but deny, deny, deny. That’s money well spent. At this point, I feel most of them could fire their PR flacks and the rest of us can just assume their response to anything less than the most flatting story is either “No comment,” or some variation of “We’re as happy as can be.” Oh wait, unless they’re breaking up, in which case it’s, “We plan to remain the best of friends.”

Since Bronx was born I hardly ever see pictures of Ashlee out and about compared to Pete. How could that not create some ill will? She’s only 24, and Pete has admitted Bronx was a “happy accident.” Ashlee clearly wasn’t planning on being a mother at this point in her life, and she’s still fairly young. I’m guessing she’d like to go out and party once in a while too. Pete’s 29. He should be better able to prioritize. What really ought to happen is they should both stay home most of the time. Their child needs to be number one in their lives. But at the very least, Pete should offer to stay home and let Ashlee have a break as often as he does.

Here’s Ashlee, Pete, and Bronx Mowgli the last time they were photographed out together, on March 3rd. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.

    Pete has to go out and promote himself, keep his name out there so he can make the $$$! I’m sure Ashlee knows this.

  2. Tassi says:

    Who in their right mind leaves a newborn home while they jet off to Australia?
    I could not imagine being away from my baby (a newborn no less) overnight to travel to another country. That is simply not cool (to quote Jennifer Aniston).

    a marriage where the “guy” wears more make up and hair product than the female
    is doomed to fail
    just saying

  4. J says:

    If true, is anyone surprised at this ?

  5. Hieronymus Grex says:

    Who would want to watch their husband frolic with all those naked guys anyway?

  6. j. ferber says:

    At 24, Ashley is only “fairly” young? My God, so that must make me “extremely” old. I think Ashley is “very” young.

  7. Dani says:

    Wait, wait, wait! Pete is 29 years old! WTF. WHAT? I was sure he was not even 23. Welp, for a guy who drinks his own pee, has a haircut like a 16-year-old Hot Topic shopper, and probably still wears ridiculously looking makeup, I have to say– Way to go Pete! You’re one fine speciman.

  8. andrew says:

    for me it’s a fake. I quote HEB, he has to promote himself and nothing more.

    “Pete’s 29. He should be better able to prioritize” Jaybird, 29 is 16 in man years.

  10. sauvage says:

    Thanks, Tassi.

    And I agree with Dani, for a 29-year old his styling is quite ridiculous (nobody mention Marilyn Manson, please!).

  11. Dingles says:

    That d-bag is pushing 30??? Holy crap, that makes the fact that he wears girl jeans and eyeliner even more pathetic. Everyone who dresses like that looks stupid, but after age 16 it just looks really, really stupid.

  12. Ryo says:

    Pete lost any chance at all at gaining my respect when he named his son Bronx Mowgli. I always knew he was a bit of a douche, but that just clinched it for me. How can I take anything he says seriously when I see how seriously he takes the naming of his child?

  13. the original kate says:

    if partying with pete consists of watching him get shitfaced and then drink his own pee, i think i’d opt to stay home, too, if i were her.

  14. heima says:

    “[…] and Pete has admitted Bronx was a “happy accident.”
    Is this the reason why he call his child this stupid way? In spite?
    No one in the world should be entitled to give name like that to a child (except Rudyard Kipling of course).

    They’re well off. They can hire a babysitter or nanny and both go out whenever they want. Husband and wife will have fun, have a better marriage as a result, be more contented parents, and they will have created a job in a difficult economy. Yeay. Happy end all round!

  16. TinaWithPom says:

    Holy frick, Pete Wentz is 29?! I have two sons who act more mature and who are a bit younger than this girl-jeans-a-wearing, mascara-daubing, urine-guzzling man-child.

    My next question is whether Pete Wentz represents a severe case of extended adolescence or emotional retardation.

    Wow, this was an eye-opener. Wonderful choice for a husband, Ashlee.

    As an aside, this is one of the reasons I’m against shotgun weddings.

  17. Jill says:

    I was thinking the same thing, Tassi– really? on another continent from your little baby? yeah, parents need some time away, but that seems crazy to me. maybe once they are a little older, but this is just a baby. i have a friend who is going to be away from her one-year-old for four days on a trip and she is already nervous about how much she’ll miss her!

  18. Jacqueline says:

    Who says Ashley has to stay home, surely its her choice!!

    if the UK press is too be believed she is up the duff again
