Singer Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz have announced their engagement.

In a statement posted on friendsorenemies.com, Simpson said, "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."

News of the pair’s engagement has been accompanied by a swarm of pregnancy rumours, which Simpson and Wentz have neither confirmed nor denied. When asked, Simpson has repeatedly told the media that the question is personal and she is choosing not to discuss it.
