Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s son Bronx: A Journey Through His Growing Years
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz may have seen their marriage come to an end, but the love they share for their son Bronx Mowgli is undeniable. The couple welcomed Bronx into the world in 2008, coinciding with their wedding that same year. After three years together, they decided to part ways in 2011.
Reflecting on their split during a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, Wentz expressed personal struggles that contributed to the marriage’s end, especially amid a hiatus in his band’s activity. He candidly acknowledged the initial pain of their separation but emphasized the joy of co-parenting, stating, “Of course, at first, I’m like, ‘This sucks! You bailed on me!’ But you get perspective. We have a kid together. Our kid is awesome. He’s great.”
Both Simpson and Wentz moved on after their divorce, forming new families. Simpson tied the knot with Evan Ross in 2014, and together they have two children: daughter Jagger, born in 2015, and son Ziggy, born in 2020. Wentz has also embraced fatherhood again with Meagan Camper, welcoming son Saint in 2014 and daughter Marvel in 2018.
In a 2018 interview, Simpson praised their co-parenting dynamic, calling it a “great family” situation. She expressed gratitude for the relationships they’ve built. “We really lucked out,” she declared. Ross mentioned the mutual respect shared among all parties, which makes navigating their blended families much smoother.
Their eldest son Bronx has grown up in the public eye, and Simpson has often shared glimpses of their family life on social media. In June 2022, a photo of Bronx captured attention, showcasing how much he has matured. The accompanying caption spoke of memorable family moments, “London dinner dates with my loves.”
Through the years, Bronx has been a regular at red carpet events, starting from the tender age of three. The family has also celebrated numerous milestones together, including birthdays and vacations. Wentz even shared a heartfelt message on Bronx’s 10th birthday, reflecting on how quickly time flies.
In a touching birthday tribute for Bronx’s 16th birthday, Simpson recounted her joys of motherhood, writing on Instagram, “Being your mom has been the greatest joy of my life. You are my rock my soul. My ride or die.” Her words highlighted the deep bond they share, recalling memories from her pregnancy to the present day.
As Bronx continues to grow, his parents remain committed to fostering a loving and supportive environment, showcasing that despite their differences, the love for their son remains strong. The journey of Bronx Mowgli is not just a tale of celebrity parenthood, but a testament to the enduring power of family love and respect.
