Ashlee To Tie The Knot

Ashlee Simpson – Jessica Simpson’s little sister - and her rocker boyfriend Pete Wentz are getting married.

In a statement she wrote: "We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I, and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best."

"Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us."

The pair have been dating since the end of 2006. Pete is the bassist with US rock group Fall Out Boy.
