Ashlee Simpson is pregnant with another baby, Star Magazine reports, adding that its source says the singer is “just a few weeks along” and is “beyond thrilled.”

Still, Jessica Simpson’s useless sibling is opting to keep the news private “for at least two more months” before sharing it with the celebrity gossip media.

The mag says Ashlee hopes that baby #2 will make her and Pete closer as his grinding with skanks hectic schedule has put a strain on their relationship.

A foolproof plan if ever there were one.

“… She loves Pete and wants to hang on to him. She believes this second baby will really clinch the deal,” the celebrity gossip source reportedly writes.

“He absolutely loves Ash and Bronx Mowgli,” claims the tabloid when referring to how the Fall Out Boy bass player feels toward Ashlee and their baby boy.

“But he also loves his freedom. He thinks a second kid could change things for the worse. He doesn’t want to be tied down and stuck at home all the time.”

No official confirmation (or denial) has been made by Team Wentz concerning the report of her new pregnancy, or the couple’s supposedly rocky marriage.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were longtime lovers before making it official in May 2008. They welcomed the arrival of son Bronx Mowgli in November.
