Ashlee Simpson Filed For Divorce From Pete Wentz

Well yet another celebrity couple bites the dust because Ashlee Simpson has filed for divorce from Pete Wentz after just two and a half years of marriage.

TMZ reports that Ashlee filed for divorce and cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason she wants to get rid of him, she is asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody as well as asking for spousal and child support from him. They both released a statement saying…

“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce, we remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”

TMZ follows up by saying there was no third party involved in the split and the reason they are divorcing is because they grew apart. A source says that she basically wanted out of show business after giving birth to their son, but he wanted to keep on with torturing us by making music.

Seeing as how her father is Joe Simpson I’m going to guess that this divorce will start getting messy by the weekend.
