Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are divorcing after 2 1/2 years of marriage, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed on Wednesday.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the former couple said in a joint statement. “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”
As her lovelorn older sister prepares for a summer wedding, Ashlee filed the papers in Los Angeles Superior Court this morning, citing the ever-popular “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakdown of her short marriage. In the divorce filing, Ashlee is seeking primary physical custody and joint legal custody of the couple’s only child, son Bronx Mowgli Wentz, age 2. The 26-year-old “Pieces of Me” singer is also requesting the court grant her spousal and child support from Pete, 31. She wants her name be restored to Ashlee Nicole Simpson and is seeking to terminate Pete’s ability to receive spousal support.
The Wentzes began dating in 2006 and were wed by Ashlee’s minister dad in May 2008.
