Family Comes First For Ashlee Simpson-Wentz
November 16th, 2009
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has told Women’s Health magazine that getting married and starting a family has “humbled” her, making career set-backs – such as being diplomatically dumped from Melrose Place last month – easier to cope with. “[Being married] made me able to share more,” she says. “Now Pete and Bronx come first. It has humbled me.”
The 25-year-old singer and actress, who returned to her rail-thin figure just months after giving birth, says she doesn’t bow to Hollywood pressure to stay slim.
She says the only person she wants to look good for is herself – and husband Pete Wentz, from Fall Out Boy.
“Pete isn’t worried about stretch marks,” the mother of Bronx, 1, says.
“He always makes me feel sexy.
“There’s gonna be a time when I’m way curvier, and that’ll be sexy too. What defines sexy is not someone’s weight. Personally I like curves. … I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good.”
The actress, who is reportedly going to make her Broadway debut as Chicago‘s Roxy in December, adds that her favorite way to stay in shape is “Bronx Pilates!”
“These [biceps] are from holding him,” she says. “He’s in my arms all the time.”
