Ashlee told Us Weekly in October 2018 that she and Evan “definitely want another [child].” Evan added that the pair just needed to” figure out when it’s the right time.”

The “Autobiography” singer revealed one month earlier that coparenting with Wentz, 40, and his girlfriend, Meagan Camper, has been “wonderful.” The Fall Out Boy bassist and Camper, 30, are the parents of son Saint, 5, and 23-month-old daughter Marvel.

Evan added, “I think the fact that there is a lot of respect amongst all of us. That makes it easier. And we’re all really close friends. It’s easy, we got really lucky with that.”

Jessica, for her part, is married to former NFL player Eric Johnson. The couple are the parents of daughter Maxwell, 8, son Ace, 6, and daughter Birdie Mae, 13 months. Earlier this year, Ashlee showed her support for the release of Jessica’s candid memoir, Open Book, which detailed the “Sweetest Sin” singer’s struggles with past relationships, alcoholism and sexual abuse as a child.
