Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”
Simpson’s father, Joe, tells PEOPLE he’s “totally happy” and “so excited to have Pete as part of (our) family.” “We are blessed,” he says.
Simpson, 23, and Wentz, 28, a guitarist for Fall Out Boy, have been a linked since the fall of 2006, when they were spotted kissing at a New York nightclub A year later, they were still going strong. “We’re past the honeymoon period,” Wentz told PEOPLE. “The truth is, it’s crazy to be able to kiss your best friend. It’s just a really awesome thing.” Also, Simpson’s father, Joe, gave Wentz the thumbs up. “He’s a good kid,” said Joe.
