It's official - Ashlee is pregnant!

"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," read a statement Wednesday on Peter Wentz's blog.

"This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

 

Simpson-Wentz, 23, and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz, 28, married earlier this month at Simpson's parents' Los Angeles-area home. Sister Jessica was the maid of honor. They were dating since 2006.

Simpson-Wentz's latest album, "Bittersweet World," was released last month. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in its first week.
