MUM'S THE WORD: Pop star Ashlee Simpson is not pregnant, her fiance Pete Wentz has confirmed.
Rocker Pete Wentz has denied his fiancee, pop star Ashlee Simpson, is pregnant as reported in celebrity magazines just days after they announced their engagement, according to a story on MTV.com.
Earlier in the day, Us and OK! magazines published stories on their websites claiming Simpson was pregnant. OK! went so far as to say the baby was due in October.
But Wentz, the bassist for rock band Fall Out Boy, told MTV News in an email: "There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood ... I mean we're engaged, that's true,
and happy about it."
In a separate email, MTV News said it asked Wentz if he was denying the reports of Simpson's pregnancy, and Wentz answered "Yeah".
A representative for 23-year-old Simpson, the younger sister of actress and singer Jessica Simpson, issued a statement confirming the engagement and adding "beyond that, there is nothing to add".
Ashlee Simpson has been romantically linked to Wentz, 28, since 2006.
On Thursday, the couple posted a statement at the social networking website friendsorenemies.com in which they announced they would be getting married.
In addition to her career as a singer, Simpson had a role in the US television show Seventh Heaven. Her new album, Bittersweet World, is to be released this month.
Wentz co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001, and the band has built a loyal following with albums like 2005's popular From Under the Cork Tree.
