Birth
Bronx Mowgli Wentz was born on November 20, 2008, in the US. His middle name, Mowgli, was inspired by the lead character of ‘The Jungle Book.’ Pete and Ashlee had bonded over the book and decided to name their son after the character. They are both huge ‘Disney’ fans and have incorporated ‘Disney’ into their life events. The theme of Ashlee’s baby shower was the ‘Disney’ cartoon ‘Winnie the Pooh,’ and the theme of their wedding reception was ‘Alice in Wonderland.’
Divorce and Custody Battle
After three years of marriage, Pete and Ashlee decided to end their relationship in February 2011. Their divorce was legally finalized on November 22, 2011. In 2013, Pete demanded custody of Bronx, citing Ashlee’s busy schedule and irresponsible attitude toward their son. He claimed that she was more interested in attending parties and threatened to demand full custody if her behavior didn’t change. However, Pete and Ashlee now share custody of Bronx.
Current Relationships
Pete is currently in a relationship with model Meagan Camper. They welcomed their first child, Saint Lazslo, in August 2014, and their second child, Marvel Jane, in May 2018. Bronx is often seen spending time with his younger half-siblings and splits his time between his biological parents. He primarily stays with Pete and Meagan but also visits Ashlee, who is now married to actor and musician Evan Ross.
