Straight on the heels of Beyonce’s surprise wedding, Ashlee Simpson has announced that she and Pete Wentz (the bassist for Fallout Boy) are engaged.

“We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I, and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best,” she said. “Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. 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.”
