Breathtaking Transformation: Witness the Incredible Journey of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's Son Bronx Over the Years

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz may not have stayed together, but their love for their son is evident. They welcomed Bronx Mowgli in 2008, the same year they got married. However, after three years of marriage, they announced their separation in 2011.

"I would be foolish to deny my role in its unraveling," Wentz disclosed during a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, acknowledging personal struggles and strains in his marriage during his band's hiatus in 2010. "Initially, I was resentful and thought, 'This is terrible! You abandoned me!' But perspective sets in. We have a child together. Our child is incredible. He's amazing."

Following their divorce, Simpson and Wentz both started families with new partners. The talented "Boyfriend" singer, in particular, tied the knot with Evan Ross in 2014. They joyfully welcomed daughter Jagger in 2015 and son Ziggy in 2020.

The bassist, on the other hand, is the proud father of two children. His son, Saint, was born in 2014, and his daughter, Marvel, was born in 2018. Both children were welcomed into the world with his long-term partner, Meagan Camper.

Speaking about their co-parenting journey in 2018, Simpson expressed his joy, stating, "It's amazing. Our family is incredible. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate."

Ross stated that the two couples share a strong friendship. He had previously acknowledged that having a blended family can lead to various outcomes, but both families are currently progressing well.

He expressed, "I believe the abundance of respect within our group contributes to the ease of our situation. We were fortunate in that aspect."

Wentz expressed his admiration for his relationship with Simpson's son, Bronx, in an interview with Us in 2019. He described Bronx as brilliant and compared his imagination to that of George Lucas, suggesting that he has great potential.

Wentz acknowledges that it would be unreasonable to claim knowing the ultimate secret to successful coparenting. He believes in the significance of listening and providing people with equilibrium. While acknowledging that he doesn't possess all the solutions, he describes Ashlee as a wonderful mother. Wentz further praises Camper, stating that she is not only a great mother but also a remarkable individual who brings balance into his life.

In June 2022, there was a noticeable stir when Simpson posted a picture of Bronx, the oldest son of the former spouses, who appeared to have significantly matured. Sharing a collection of images from a family vacation with her children and Ross, Simpson added the caption, "London dinner dates with my loves."

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s Son Bronx Through the Years

Growing up in the Bronx, it is clear that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's love for their son is enduring, despite the end of their marriage. The former star of The Ashlee Simpson Show and the Fall Out Boy musician welcomed their son, Bronx Mowgli, in 2008, coinciding with their marriage. However, after three years, they publicly announced their separation in 2011.

Wentz acknowledged his contribution to the deterioration of their relationship during his divorce in 2015. He admitted to personal struggles and difficulties in his marriage during his band's hiatus in 2010. Initially, he felt disappointed and abandoned, but he gained a new perspective over time. Despite their separation, they have a child together whom they both cherish. Simpson and Wentz have moved on and started families with new partners. Simpson married Evan Ross in 2014, and they have a daughter named Jagger, born in 2015, and a son named Ziggy, born in 2020.

The bassist, on the other hand, is a proud father to his son Saint, who was born in 2014, and his daughter Marvel, who was born in 2018. Both children are the result of his long-term relationship with Meagan Camper.

When asked about coparenting with Wentz and Camper, Simpson expressed his satisfaction, saying, "We have an amazing family. We truly feel fortunate."

Ross mentioned that the two couples share a strong friendship. He previously acknowledged that having a blended family can lead to various outcomes, but both families are currently heading in the right direction.

"The presence of mutual respect among all of us greatly facilitates the situation," he remarked earlier. "Fortunately, we were fortunate enough to have that. It has made things quite effortless for us."

During a 2019 interview with Us, Wentz shared his own perspective on his relationship with Simpson's son, stating, "Bronx, my stepson, is incredibly talented. I believe he has the potential to become the next George Lucas with his remarkable imagination."

Regarding coparenting, he expressed that explaining the key to it would be irrational. He emphasized the significance of listening and providing people with equilibrium. He humbly admitted that he does not possess all the solutions to succeed in coparenting. Wentz praised Ashlee, acknowledging her as a fantastic mother. Additionally, he praised Camper, recognizing her as both an exceptional mother and an excellent person who brings balance to his life.

In June 2022, Simpson caused a stir when she posted a picture of Bronx, the oldest son of her former spouse, showing how much he has grown. She captioned a set of photos from a family vacation with her children and Ross, saying, "London dinner dates with my loves."
