Who Are Bronx Wentz Parents?
Born as Bronx Mowgli Wentz on 20 November 2008, Bronx Wentz is the first child of popular American singer, songwriter, and Instrumentalist Pete Wentz and actress Ashlee Simpson. His middle name ‘Mowgli’ was inspired by the lead character of the children’s adventure book, The Jungle Book, as his parents were ardent fans of Disney.
His parents met for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2006. They dated for a few years and got engaged in 2008, and announced the wedding after the month of their engagement. They had their wedding ceremony on 17 May 2008. They welcomed Bronx after six months of their marriage. However, his parents' marriage lasted for only three years. They got divorced on 22 November 2011.
His father, Pete, demanded his custody in 2013 as he cited that his mother, Ashlee was busy and had an irresponsible attitude towards him. Pete claimed that Ashlee was more interested in attending parties than taking care of Bronx. He even threatened Ashlee’s mother to take full custody of Bronx if Ashlee continued to behave irresponsibly. However, they share his custody now.
His parents both moved on and have their own partners. His father, Pete is in a relationship with model Meagan Camper since 2011. He has two children with Meagan, and they are Marvel, 3, and Saint,7.
His mother, Ashlee, started a relationship with Evan Ross in 2013. As per the source, they were friends for a really long time and know each other very well. They got engaged in 2014 and tied the knot in August of 2014. They welcomed their first child, Daughter Jagger in 2015 and welcomed their son Ziggy in October 2020.
Bronx was seen getting carried by his mother and his grandmother, Tina Simpson, while they were heading out to get some lunch in LA in 2011. He was also seen brought to the Roseland Theatre, where his mother was filming New York City.
His parents have co-parented him for about ten years now, and his father has shared some details about his co-parenting situations. He had told that they are working every day to provide the best childhood for their son, Bronx, and added that he certainly isn’t going to try to tell everybody that the ‘key’ to co-parenting is because he isn’t perfect. He continued to share that every situation is so different, and, in his case, he feels the best thing to do is to listen to people and give people balance. Pete also talked about how Simpson was a great mother and his girlfriend Meagan was also a great balance for his son, Bronx.
Bronx has a total of four half-siblings. He has a half-sister, Jagger, and half-brother, Ziggy, from his mother’s side and has two half-brothers, Marvel and Saint, from his father’s side.
