Pop-rock
diva
Ashlee
Simpson
has
said
that
rumours
about
her
engagement
to
rocker
Pete
Wentz
are
untrue.
Her
representative
has
issued
a
statement
in
this
regard,
and
stated
that
the
reports
about
the
impending
marriage
of
Wentz
and
Simpson
are
"absolutely
not
true."
A
report
posted
on
gossip
website
Popcrunch
claims
that
Wentz
proposed
to
Simpson
for
marriage
on
July
7,
before
Fall
Out
Boy's
performance
at
Live
Earth.
It
also
speculates
that
the
engagement
stems
from
news
that
Simpson
is
pregnant.
According
to
the
website,
the
rumoured
engagement
has
been
kept
a
secret
because
Simpson
fears
the
overexposure
that
plagued
Nick
Lachey
and
older
sister
Jessica's
marriage.
However,
it
has
now
turned
out
that
the
rumours
of
the
couple's
secret
engagement
are
baseless,
reports
US
Weekly
magazine.
