“Fall Out Boy” Pete Wentz ready to start a family with Ashlee Simpson

Pete Wentz said he his ready to lay aside his party life and start a family. The “Fall Out Boy” bassist and Ashlee Simpson is rumored to be engaged. “I picture myself having a family now. Before, my dreams were about being in a huge band,” Wentz says. “Now, my dreams are of backyards and hanging out. It’s a progression for me, trying to figure out what’s normal.”

 

The couple reportedly got engaged in New Jersey at his Live Earth performance on July 7. Simpson and Wentz want to keep the rumored engagement under wraps for as long as possible.

 

In the past Wentz suffered from depression and battled a drug addiction problem. “I was taking prescription medication, I was a drugstore cowboy, mixing this with this, seeing what the combinations did,” Wentz admits. He adds that he didn’t even think he would be alive in two years.

 

“I thank God I got through it, and came out of the other side,” Wentz said.
