Pete Wentz on Daddy Deja Vu

INF

Like other celebrity dads before him, Pete Wentz is stepping up to the parenting plate. With wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz busy filming Melrose Place, the 30-year-old Fall Out Boy rocker has taken a break from touring to be with son Bronx Mowgli, 9 months. Echoing the sentiments of at-home parents everywhere, he observes to USA Today that,

“When I’m at home, I feel like sometimes I have a 9-to-5 job. You became your dad. Two dogs, a wife and a kid. Stuck in traffic.”

Not that he’s complaining! “All I really like to do is hang out with Bronx,” Pete admits. “He kind of has a new noise or a new thing every day. He’s really funny and is going through a lot of discovery.”

As is, apparently, the proud papa. Pete is poised to unveil his brand new five-issue comic book miniseries Fall Out Toy Works on Wednesday; While Ashlee is supportive, Pete says that her enthusiasm for the genre is minimal. “I don’t think [comics are] really up her alley,” he explains. “Our tastes come together in really weird areas, and I don’t think this is one of them.”

Whether Bronx is someday impressed by Pete’s debut is a much more pressing concern, however. Adds Pete,

“I think after you have a kid, all of a sudden you want to do things that your kid can see.”

He posted this on his blog, I think Bronx looks like Pete. Especially the cheeks. No matter who he looks like hes a cutey for sure.

Bronx is such a cutie pie! Personally, I think he looks just like Ashlee’s dad and favours her side of the family, but I love his chubbs!

Does anyone else ever get the feeling that Pete loves being a dad to Bronx but not so much a husband to Ashlee?

Pete Wentz has quickly become one of my favorite celebrity dads. I follow him on Twitter and he seems so incredibly in love with his baby boy. Too cute!

No, I get the impression he loves his wife, Ashlee and his son. love FOB, Folie a Deux it is a great album. Bronx is cute and does favor a simpson more. Wishe he looked more like Pete!

Rachelsun- I agree! It’s very likely that Pete made his comment about Ashley not being into comics in a joking way. Also, it’s hardly a requirment to love everything that your spouse does. My mother certainly doesn’t love everything my father does, and vice versa, but they love each other very much just the same!

Glad to see he enjoys his son, but it irks me when people refer to a child as a “kid” or children as “kids”. I’ve always just thought that it was an odd way to refer to children, and besides a kid is a young goat…it’s an informal way to refer to a child. Ok done with my rant!
