Ashlee Simpson files for divorce

By Alexandra Heilbron on February 10, 2011 | 8 Comments


Ashlee Simpson, 26, has filed for divorce from Pete Wentz, 31, after almost three years of marriage. They have a two-year-old son, Bronx. There was no third party involved, according to People magazine. “It’s very amicable. They’re on very friendly terms and speaking,” a source close to the couple said. “They’ve just grown apart. They’ve been growing apart for quite some time. They’re both really sad. It’s a sad ending to something that was really promising.” According to TMZ, former Fall Out Boy frontman Wentz apparently begged her not to divorce him, but her friends say she’s tired of his “erratic behavior.” The divorce papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. Simpson has hired celebrity attorney Laura Wasser to represent her — she’s asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody of Bronx.

    Couple after Hollywood couple, down they go. Why do people get married and have kids so young? At least Olivia Wilde was smart enough not to have kids before she realized her marriage wasn’t going to work.

    What a stupid asshat Asslee is. She couldn’t first find out what he’s like before having a baby with him and marrying him? That’s what dating is for — to find out if that person is right for you. Not after you have a kid who comes from a broken home. Time to get a brain, Asslee. You’re as dumb as your sister.

    This other Rita has been posting for awhile & thats my name to. I was posting B4 her. Didn’t want anyone to get the idea that what she said are my thiughts too! I wasn’t surprised about the breakup, becoz I saw the pattern developing a long time ago! I Really Feel Sorry for the Children too!

    I disagree that All of them divorce; theres still a few that Respect-Honour and Love each other. Who with wisdom grow together through the yrs…

    I agree theres dating 1st But most men put their best foot forward, most of the time(Women do it to, I know). How can you really get to know someone fully, when you sit across from each other eating a meal?? Most of that comes from Living(marriage) together & seeing what there really like & seeing how they handle situations. Granted of course, the couple could go by themselves for a wkend. or a few days on an adventure of some sort for a yr. or 2. That Might work to see if they are Compatable!
