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.â€
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.â€
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.
