LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
After much speculation, Ashlee and Pete Wentz have confirmed they are expecting their first child.
The newlyweds announced the baby news on friendsorenemies.com, the same site where the couple announced their engagement back in April.
“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family,” the new statement posted on Wednesday night read.
The message was signed “Pete and Ashlee Wentz.”
On Wednesday, the couple also confirmed that Ashlee had taken Pete’s last name. While in her private life, she will now go by Ashlee Wentz, professionally, she will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, according to People.
“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” Ashlee told People. “It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”
Ashlee, 23, and Pete, 28, wed on May 17 at the Simpson family home in Los Angeles.
