Pete Wentz’s Christmas plans

CEBU, Philippines - It’s been almost two years since Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson officially divorced, but according to the rocker he still has a wonderful relationship with his ex-wife.

“Yes, we are great friends,” the Fall Out Boy frontman told E! News, adding that the pair always put the focus on their five-year-old son Bronx.

“I think the whole idea is you don’t parent for the media, you parent for the kid,” he explained. “And I think the most important thing is putting your kid first. None of it is ever for show and a lot of it goes on behind closed doors, but yeah, we respect each other as parents and that’s the most important thing.”

Sounds like the divorced duo could teach some parents a thing or two, but Wentz insists he doesn’t have all the answers.

“I don’t know if I should be the one giving advice to anybody about these things, because I feel like I am learning on such an everyday basis,” he said. “But the thing that I realize more than anything is that you have to take in moments: you can’t just go through your life and think about what’s the next thing. Just take a snapshot and take in every moment what you’re doing with your kid and family and stuff.”

As for Wentz’ holiday plans with his son? “My sister is about to give birth so I think we are going to go and visit Chicago and hang out and do that kind of thing because it’s nice to go somewhere where it seasonally changes a little bit cause we are in L.A. so often,” he shared, adding that he’s definitely going to take Bronx to see Santa.
