Ashlee and Pete Wentz Confirm Pregnancy

Newlyweds Ashlee and Pete Wentz have confirmed that they are expecting their first child.

“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,” they wrote on Wentz’s site, friendsorenemies.com. “This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

After getting married in L.A. on May 17, the couple honeymooned in Turks and Caicos.

The bride, who has changed her name to Ashlee Wentz but will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz professionally, said after the wedding, “I would love to have a big family one day.”

Added her new husband: “A big soccer team or a band!”

Apparently one of the most-discussed topics at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is Angelina Jolie’s pregnancy.

First, Jolie’s Kung Fu Panda costar Jack Black spilled the beans and confirmed that Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are expecting twins. Now fellow costar Dustin Hoffman has revealed her due date!

The big day? Today show reporter Natalie Morales revealed on Thursday’s program that Hoffman told her the babies were due Aug. 19.

The new arrivals will be the fifth and sixth children for the Jolie and Pitt. The family currently consists of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, who turns 2 this month.

“I’m very happy,” said Jolie, 33, according to Today. “Unlike most women, I love being pregnant. [It makes] you feel like more like a woman than you’ve ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby.”

During the on-air interview, Jolie said that she would “possibly” stay in France for the births, and that she and Pitt preferred not to disclose the sex of the babies.

The Jolie-Pitt clan have been staying in France at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s historic Florentine-styled Villa Maryland.

Morales also reported that the parents do everything they can to keep their children aware of their individual native customs and heritages.

Of Zahara, said Jolie, “Our daughter’s very proud that she’s African.” Of Maddox and Pax: “And our boys are very proud that they’re Asian – they know about their country … down to their food or their flags or their music.”

Jolie also admires her children’s curiosity, saying they “ask great questions about life. They ask questions about war that are poignant and spot-on, because they’re the questions we should all be asking ourselves.”
