The well-known American singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Pete Wentz and the actor and singer Ashlee Simpson are the parents of Bronx Mowgli Wentz. He was born a few months after Pete and Ashlee’s marriage. Because Bronx’s parents love “Disney,” they have incorporated “Disney” elements into most of their life’s events. The main character of the children’s adventure novel “The Jungle Book” served as the model for Bronx’s middle name. 2011 saw the divorce of his parents. Later, after Ashlee was unable to provide for Bronx, his father requested full custody. They currently have joint custody of Bronx. Born to Pete and his current partner, Meagan Camper, he has two half-siblings.
Before birth of Bronx Mowgli Wentz
Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson, Bronx’s parents, first crossed paths at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. Soon after, they started dating, and in April 2008, they announced their engagement. A month after becoming engaged, they made their wedding public. On May 17, 2008, they exchanged vows. But until their marriage, they had kept their connection a secret. Six months after Pete’s marriage to Ashlee, the couple had their first child.
Birth in the Bronx
Mowgli Wentz was born on November 20, 2008, in the US. The main character from “The Jungle Book” served as the inspiration for his middle name. Pete and Ashlee had become close because of the book, which is why they came up with the name. For this reason, they chose to call their son “Mowgli.” His parents love all things “Disney” as well. Pete and Ashlee have included “Disney” in every aspect of their lives. The Disney animated feature “Winnie the Pooh” served as the subject for Ashlee’s baby shower ceremony, and “Alice in Wonderland” was the theme for their wedding reception.
In February 2011, Pete and Ashlee decided to call it quits on their three-year marriage. November 22, 2011, saw the official finalization of their divorce. Pete made a custody demand for Bronx in 2013. He gave Ashlee’s hectic schedule and careless attitude about Bronx as justification for his demand. Pete said his ex-wife was more interested in going to parties and was becoming busy with her own life. He even threatened Ashlee’s mother, saying that if she did not rein in her reckless actions, he would want full custody of Bronx. But Ashlee and Pete now share custody of Bronx.
Pete and model Meagan Camper are currently dating. In August 2014, Pete and Meagan had their first child, Saint Lazslo, and in May 2018, their second child, Marvel Jane, was born. It’s common to find Bronx hanging out with his younger half-siblings. Though he spends the most of his time with Pete and Meagan, he also divides his time between his biological parents. Bronx also pays Ashlee, who is currently wed to musician and actor Evan Ross, visits.
