TMZ just broke the story that Ashlee Simpson has filed for divorce from husband Pete Wentz…

Here’s the MTV story:

On Tuesday, Ashlee Simpson filed for divorce in the Los Angeles Superior Court, ending her marriage of nearly three years to Pete Wentz.

“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” reads a joint statement from Simpson and Wentz, sent to MTV News. “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son, Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Simpson cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, and is asking for joint legal custody — and primary physical custody — of their 2-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli.
