Meet Bronx Mowgli Wentz!

Courtesy FriendsorEnemies.com

Celebrating the season and their greatest gift, Pete Wentz and wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz have chosen to introduce their 5-week-old son, Bronx Mowgli, on the Friends or Enemies blog. “We decided to share the best gift we could ever receive with you: Bronx Mowgli Wentz,” the bassist and singer write. “We couldn’t be happier. And in the spirit of the holidays, we’d like to encourage you to give on your own. Below is a list of worthwhile charities that need your support. Love Pete, Ashlee and Bronx.”

The couple then goes on to name the International Rescue Committee, Room to Grow and the Richie-Madden Foundation as their choices. Describing the changes in his family, Pete recently noted, “The first time I held him…I just knew everything was perfect. Like everything was good — it was like Legos, you know what I’m saying, like it all fit together.”

Very sweet picture, and what a nice way for them to show their son to their fans.

Awww he’s sooo precious! I can’t believe Ashlee is a Mama NOW!!

- Doreen on December 25th, 2008

This is a very sweet photo and I love the way they did it! They all look happy & gorgeous! It’s hard to tell who he looks like at this moment but he’s a cutie just the same =)

- Amanda on December 25th, 2008

Adorable! And so wonderful of them to introduce their son while at the same time drawing attention to some wonderful causes.

- Eliza on December 25th, 2008

From what we can see of his he sure is a cutey. He’s got Daddys lips I think. That is a really sweet picture, just looks like a random family snap. I think more celebs should introduce there babies in this way. They choose what is said, they choose what photo and it’s real. Not a circus all posey posey ‘look aren’t we perfect’. Just a nice photo that really isn’t about them or even Bronx its about family and spending time with them this time of year.
I can’t wait to see this family grow together.

and FYI I got Fall Out Boys new album today. Love It. Good year for Pete Wentz.

He looks adorable.

- Nicole on December 25th, 2008

What an adorable little boy!!! Ashlee and Pete look so peaceful!! Wow, what a great christmas present for them!!

- chowchowpug on December 25th, 2008

Awww how cute

- finess3 on December 25th, 2008

Not a fan of the pic. I would rather see more of Bronx than their faces. If they are going to introduce him then they should show him more.

- Guen on December 25th, 2008

Bronx looks like a quiet and peaceful baby, ashlee and pete seem that they’re are gonna be very good parents, the photo is lovely, i love that way to introduce the baby like that, alike Gwen Stefani did when introduce son Zuma

- camille on December 25th, 2008

You can’t really see much of Bronx but they look very peaceful

- Freya on December 25th, 2008

mmm i wonder if the word on the street about mags not wanting them prompted this – r if this was the plan all along?
cute pic – they seem like they are enjoying the babymoon!

- victoria on December 25th, 2008

didn’t Pete say not even a week ago that they weren’t ready to show him off yet?

- J on December 25th, 2008

I believe that not showing very much of the baby’s face was purposeful. They will still be able to get $ from all of those mags from ‘here to Guam.’ Sarcasm??? Yes!

- brooklyn on December 25th, 2008

It kind of feels like a teaser…almost as if they are partially showing him so magazines will pay for a full face?! Hmm who knows but I am anxious to see what little Bronx looks like.

- Ashley on December 25th, 2008

A sweet picture! Can’t see who he looks like but I like the fact that they included the charities on the bottom of the page.

And J, one thing I’ve learned after being a FOB fan since before “Sugar, We’re Going Down” was even thought of; don’t believe a word Pete says lol.

- Lily on December 26th, 2008

This is a really nice way to introduce their little blessing to the public. I loooove the fact that they are encouraging donations to charities they support and in return we get to see the first pics of Bronx. CONGRATULATIONS Ashlee and Pete again. Bronx is BEAUTIFUL!!!

- Crystal on December 26th, 2008

Lovely.

- auntie on December 26th, 2008

I hope we get to see a clearer picture of him sometime soon, but I think this picture of the 3 of them is absolutely adorable

- Philippa on December 26th, 2008

I love this! It’s a clever way of introducing Bronx while not really introducing him! I feel Ashlee and Pete are not quite ready to have whole full length pictures of him yet…He’s cute from what we can see!

- babyboopie on December 26th, 2008

Bronx is absolutely adorable and I think he looks like Pete.Ashlee seems changed by motherhood.I’m so happy for them!

- SARA on December 26th, 2008

Ahh I wish we could see his face a bit more!

Nevertheless it is still a heartwarming photo.

- Kat on December 26th, 2008

I love the idea that they are drawing attention to charities. It fits with the season of giving.

As for the remarks about not seeing enough of the baby and implying that because of the positioning of the child in the photo it means they’re holding out for more money, I can certainly understand why some celebrities choose not to show their children to the public at ALL. I can definitely see why some of them think it’s not worth it.

People really are something else.

- Gianna on December 26th, 2008

i hope it´s the new trend.you know show the baby to your fans not sell his photo to magazines

- mel on December 26th, 2008

He is so Cute

- Shirelle on December 26th, 2008

Awwww this is a really sweet picture and I love that they’re promoting charities along the way. I personally think it’s much nicer when celeb parents introduce their babies through a personal photo like what Salma Hayek, Gwen Stefani, & Minnie Driver did. Very cute little family

- NELLA on December 26th, 2008

Honestly, I think this is the BEST way to introduce a new baby. Just a simple picture, not a huge posed magazine spread. I really love this picture. It’s sweet and I love how they showcased different charities. That’s a really great idea. I can’t wait to see more of this family!

- Stephany on December 26th, 2008

I think from what we can see, he looks absolutely gorgeous. It looks like he has Pete’s lips and Ashlee’s nose and a weeny bit of dark hair. Cute

- Erica on December 26th, 2008

I don’t get it – how can you tell that he’s cute or looks like Pete when you’re seeing like half his face? That always cracks me up, like people talking about Sam Schreiber looking cute and like Liev when you saw half his face.

- Amy on December 26th, 2008

Sweet picture, and what a nice way for them to show their son to their fans!

- Sabine Wahl on December 26th, 2008

Most celebrities don’t do big spreads because they can’t get paid to do them. Even when mags pay for a couple’s first kid, there is less interest in the second one. Remember the difference between Julia Roberts’ twins v. Henry? The People issue with Brangelina’s twins sold huge which made it worth spending all that money for the magazine. Think Ashlee and Pete would sell big? Doubtful. How about for Minnie Driver or Salma or Gwen’s second son? Nope. Just because we get so excited, doesn’t mean we’d pay money to see the pictures. With most celebrities, people would just wait until the paps take a pic of them walking around on the street. I mean people won’t pay to see Nicole Kidman’s movies, so why would they pay money to see a picture of her kid? I just think everyone needs to have a reality check. Pete and Ashlee did this because it was this option or having his pic taken while they were out running errands. Either way, no splashy photoshoot was going to happen. I think the picture is lovely and it’s nice that they shared it with their fans instead of acting all secretive about it and getting mobbed by the paps. It’s their choice either way.

- LolaBean on December 26th, 2008

Can y’all honestly say who the baby looks like with just that little snip of a pic? Oh gracious me – I see two parents with a “head” – no idea who the baby looks like.

Cute pic nonetheless…..not a fan of the name at all – sounds made up to me….yeah Bronx is a name Mowgli is a name – but just too much nonsense IMO.

- Tracy on December 26th, 2008

What a great way to introduce Bronx.They all look so peaceful. They have the cutest family. I think Ashlee will make a great mother and Pete will be a awesome father. BTW that picture is adorable!!

- fan on December 26th, 2008

Such cynics! Maybe just maybe not every celebrity wants to sell their baby pics. not because no one will pay for the photos. This photo was placed on his blog for his fans not for the cynics. The blogs copied this from his blog. He is a beautiful baby. Can’t tell who he looks like but what does it matter. I prefer to think he did it for his fans of his music and not becuse they could not sell. seems to me keeping him hiden would be the way to get money than to release on his blog.
Such a world! hopefully this little guy will grow up w/ less cynicism and hatred of celebrities.

According to Perez Hilton, there were no offers from major magazines.

- Nicole on December 26th, 2008

I feel like if nicole richie was able to get paid for a photospread of her baby than Selma Hyeck and ashley simpson def could have made some money off their baby photos even if it wasnt as much as the jolie-pitts. I believe that they did turn down offers and i like when celebs introduce babies like this or not at all like keri russell and naomi watts but its cool also when they do the photo shoots. Either way the public will see the child

- CM on December 26th, 2008

This is a nice family photo, but definitely not a photo of the baby. We can see his parents more. Although to me its okay, its the family I enjoy watching. There’s not much to see, babies all look a like. They are a happy family.

- Artemis on December 27th, 2008

both parents seems so natural and happy ………..perfect family

- carolina on December 27th, 2008

He definitely is a cutie.

And the truth is, regardless of their general fan base, people are not going to be lining up to buy the magazine with their photos in it.

Magazine companies are smart: They’re only going to invest in celebrities that they know will be a huge pay off/return on. (i.e Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lopez..etc..etc).

- Mia on December 28th, 2008

I bet you anything ashlee, salma hayek, jennifer garner,matt damon,etc could have gotten money for their baby pictures, they are all famous and no where near d-listers. Not to drop names but if people like trista sutter, brooke burke, melissa joan hart, jodie sweetin, etc got money for their baby pictures imagine, jenniger garner, salma hayek, and ashlee and pete, who are both famous. Some celebrities just choose not to go that route.

- gianna on December 28th, 2008

awww that pic brings tears to my eyes lol i remember when my 2 horrors were tiny and taking pics like that….but not looking quite as graceful, more like id had a huge hangover and hadnt brushed my hair for a week lol
