Pete Wentz Talks Ashlee Simpson Divorce: I Contributed to the Unraveling of Our Marriage

He’s not usually one to comment on his personal life, but Pete Wentz was in a vulnerable mood when he stopped by the “Howard Stern Show” earlier this week.

The Fall Out Boy rocker shared that his failed marriage to Ashlee Simpson was doomed when he took some time off from his chart-topping band- "At 31, we'd had all these great years as a band, and then we took time off, and I basically became Mr. Mom. I had the beard, the flannel shirt. I didn't know what my identity was. That factored in. When your identity is what you do, it's hard when you stop doing it. It was the first time where I was like, 'Well, no one's really taking my picture. I'm just basically hanging out with my kid all day. Who cares?' I think when you stop caring about your personal appearance, your personal hygiene, it makes you even more depressed, but it makes you do it more. It's like a vicious cycle."

Pete also cited immaturity as a factor- "I think there's an important thing where you know how to fight, because you can fight with somebody and it's not the end of everything. But if you don't know how to have those arguments, then they become nuclear. And we were doing this all in the public eye, which doesn't help. I would be an idiot to think that I didn't contribute to the unraveling of it. 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."
