Tuesday on The Howard Stern Show, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy was in studio, and talked a bit about his former relationship with Ashlee Simpson.

Apparently, the last time Pete Wentz was on the show did not go over well with then-wife, Ashlee Simpson. But that's not why the pair broke it off.

Last time Wentz was on the show, he said that Simpson was his "dream girl" and he couldn't believe he was having sex her.

After Simpson and Wentz broke up, rumors circulated that the interview was the reason, but Wentz said it wasn't just one thing.

They were both very young and on the road for their careers all of the time, so it was a myriad of reasons why they split.

Wentz is now dating girlfriend Meagan Camper, who recently gave birth to his first son, Saint Lazslo.

Wentz is very happy with her, and talked a lot about his mental disorders such a bi-polar disorder and ADD. He said Camper is by his side through it all, and they've been together for four years.

Fall Out Boy broke up a few years ago, but is now celebrating a reunion with a new album "American Beauty/American Psycho."
