Following a report in Us magazine that the pop singer was pregnant, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, in an email to MTV News Monday, April 14, likened the report to a "witch hunt."
"There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood," he wrote. "This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover ... I mean really, this is crazy ... I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it."
On Tuesday, April 15, Ashlee Simpson did not answer a question on the report directly during an interview with MTV after taping TRL in New York.
"Some things you want to keep personal," she said.
Ashlee, 23, and Pete, 26, announced that they are engaged last week in a post on their website, ending months of speculation that started on New Year Eve, when Ashlee was spotted wearing a band on her left ring finger.
