Ashlee Simpson-Wentz confirmed her pregnancy on husband Pete Wentz’s blog at FriendsorEnemies.com.

Here’s the official confirmation from the newlyweds:
“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. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

It's true, Simpson-Wentz representative Susan Novak said Thursday.

The pair exchanged vows earlier this month at her parents' Los-Angeles area home. Sister Jessica Simpson was the maid of honor.

Baby rumors began swirling after the couple announced their engagement last month.

Simpson married Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz on May 17, 2008. The two were first seen together in late 2006, initially they denied being in a relationship, although there was much speculation about this.

Eventually the two began to acknowledge the relationship. In mid-2007 Wentz spoke about their relationship to InTouch magazine, saying of Simpson that "I have never met somebody who makes me feel the way she makes me feel", although he denied rumors of engagement.

The couple announced that they were engaged on April 9, 2008. Simpson had previously been wearing what she described as a "promise ring" from Wentz for several months. On April 14, Us Weekly and OK! magazine reported that Simpson is pregnant. Wentz promptly denied this in an e-mail to MTV News, although Simpson, in an interview the next day, chose not to confirm or deny the report, saying that it was something to "keep personal", and on TRL she noted that rumors claiming she was pregnant had been appearing for so long that, if they were all true, she "would have had a baby by now". Due to the marriage, Ashlee has legally changed her name from Simpson to Wentz with her stage name changing to "Simpson-Wentz".

Stay tuned for more news from the newly wed.
