Ashlee Simpson says she ‘won the co-parenting lottery’ with her ex-husband Pete Wentz.
The Autobiography singer, 39, opened up about raising eldest son Bronx Mowgli with Wentz during an appearance on Rachel Bilson’s podcast, Broad Ideas.
Simpson was married to the Fall Out Boy rocker from 2008 to 2011 and together they share son Bronx, age 15.
Since their divorce, Wentz has welcomed two children with girlfriend Meagan Camper while Simpson has a daughter and son with husband Evan Ross. And Simpson insists raising Bronx with Pete and his girlfriend has been an incredibly smooth experience.
‘Co-parenting has for me been amazing,’ she told Bilson. ‘Pete’s a great guy and Meagan’s amazing and they also have two kids and I feel like I really…’

‘Won the co-parenting lottery,’ co-host Olivia Allen suggested.
‘Exactly! That’s what I was just about to say. Won the co-parenting lottery,’ Simpson said said. ‘They’re amazing and I feel like we’re always on the same page and if we’re not, we get to the same page.’
She called her husband ‘the best bonus dad.’ ‘He’s like the cool guy over there,’ she added.
Ashlee said her husband has a good relationship with all her children as she described how Evan became incorporated into Bronx’s life.
‘I feel like also we started when Bronx was two and a half so he didn’t know different,’ she explained.
‘And Evan and I were together by the time he was like four, four and a half, so he doesn’t know anything but Pete and Megan… and me and Evan.’
Simpson said she and Wentz have been following Bronx’s lead when it comes to splitting time with him.

The exes used to alternate time with Bronx every few days until he decided to change things up.
‘We’ve also gone on like his flow,’ Ashlee continued. ‘We used to have that three, four thing, you know the days that you have your kids? And I think maybe he was like 10, he was like, “No I want to do one week, one week.”
‘I want to have my full week here, and I want to have my full week here, and we kind of flow with that and it’s been like that for so long and that’s what works and we’re so easy with each other, we’re like, “You want to go on tour?” It’s been a real flow and natural good thing.’

‘Everyone gets along,’ she added when asked if Evan and Pete were friendly, adding she is also friends with Meagan.
‘And Megan’s my friend and we go to dinner,’ Ashlee said.
Simpson shares daughter Jagger, eight, and son Ziggy Blu, three, with husband Ross, whom she married in 2014. They were wed in a ceremony officiated by his mother, music legend Diana Ross.
Wentz has daughter Marvel Jane Wentz, five, and daughter Saint Lazslo, nine, with Camper.
