The internet was rife with speculation yesterday when a US-based gossip magazine reported that Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and fiance Ashlee Simpson are expecting.
People magazine claim the couple - who announced their engagement last week - are planning to get married at a private ceremony in Southern California in May ahead of the rumoured birth in October.
During a taping of MTV's TRL yesterday, Simpson, 23, dodged questions about her alleged pregnancy saying that if the rumours were true "I'd have had a baby by now".
"I just think it's an inappropriate question to ask any woman," Simpson added. "For me, that's something that I didn't ever want to respond to, because I think it's an inappropriate question.
"Some things, you want to keep personal, and I think that when people deny things, it's probably because it's something they want to keep personal."
Wentzy blasted the pregnancy rumours as a "witch hunt."
