• Pete Wentz Quotes

  "Every woman, no matter who they are or what they do for a living, has the right to wait at least three months before sharing this very personal news. We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple. Being a boy I have no idea how to respond to such things and my first instinct was to protect her and the baby. It's insane that you can't let happy news brew in Hollywood. This wasn't about press or anything. It was about the health of the baby and trying to find a way to be happy with what should be the most happy time of our lives in the middle of a press blitz. I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend."MTV: Wentz Explains Why He Denied Simpson Is Pregnant: Exclusive (May 29, 2008)

  "We came up with the idea Bronx, we'd been throwing it back and forth a while ago." But as for Mowgli, he says, "The Jungle Book is something me and Ashlee bonded over. It's really cool."PerezHilton.com: Pete Talks Baby (November 25, 2008)

  "She's pretty much a saint. Right before she went into labor, I was pretty much like, 'Oh my god, I think I'm having a heart attack.' She took care of me and made sure I was OK. She's really good, really good, actually. The grandmas have been really good, helping us a lot."PerezHilton.com: Pete Talks Baby (November 25, 2008)
