(andPOP) - Pete Wentz released a statement Thursday explaining why he and Ashley lied about being pregnant.
In an email to MTV.com Wentz said,
“We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple."
“This wasn't about press or anything. It was about the health of the baby and trying to find a way to be happy with what should be the most happy time of our lives in the middle of a press blitz. I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend."
