[15]
Early life
[
edit
]
Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III was born in
Wilmette, Illinois
, an affluent suburb of Chicago.
[9]
His parents are Dale Wentz (nee Lewis), a high school admissions counselor, and Pete Wentz II, an attorney.
[16]
[17]
[18]
Wentz is of English and German descent on his father's side and
Afro-Jamaican
descent on his mother's side.
[19]
He has a younger sister, Hillary, and a younger brother, Andrew. His maternal grandfather, Arthur Winston Lewis, served as the U.S. Ambassador to
Sierra Leone
; Arthur Winston Lewis' cousin was General
Colin Powell
.
[20]
[21]
[22]
[23]
Wentz' parents met in the 1970s while campaigning for
Joe Biden
's senatorial run.
[1]
[24]
Wentz recalled in a
Rolling Stone
interview that his earliest musical memory was listening to
The Foundations
' song "
Build Me Up Buttercup
" in the back of his father's car.
[25]
Wentz attended
North Shore Country Day School
, where he was an all-state soccer player.
[24]
[26]
He considered pursuing a professional career in the sport, but decided that music was a more fulfilling choice; he says that he "always had a magical connection to the ball. But it didn't feel like an adventure. Music was more of a challenge and, in the end, felt more interesting."
[27]
During his first year of high school, he began skipping school regularly and smoking
marijuana
with friends, but later quit as it was affecting his grades at school. After graduating from high school in 1997, he attended
DePaul University
, where he studied
political science
, dropping out one quarter shy of graduation to focus on
Fall Out Boy
.
[28]
Music career
[

Arma Angelus and other early projects (1993?2002)
[
edit
]
Wentz was primarily involved in the Chicago
hardcore punk
scene and was in several bands in the late 1990s. He formed his first band, First Born, in 1993.
[1]
By the mid-1990s, he became an infrequent bass player for
Racetraitor
.
[29]
Wentz formed the metalcore band Novena (later renamed to
Arma Angelus
) soon after, along with Adam Bishop of XshroudX and Extinction; Daniel Binaei of Racetraitor; and Timothy Miller. The band cycled through six bassists before recruiting
Tim McIlrath
, who had recently departed from
Baxter
. They released their debut EP
the Grave End of the Shovel
in 2000. Around this time, Binaei's partial relocation to California led to the hiring of Jay Jancetic of Extinction. McIlrath then departed from the band in 2000, in order to focus on
Transistor Revolt
and
the Killing Tree
, leading to the band's recruitment of, XshroudX and Restraint member, Christopher Gutierrez. In 2001, the released their debut album
Where Sleeplessness Is Rest From Nightmares
. In support of the album they toured with
Throwdown
and
Hatebreed
, and performed at
Hellfest
. These tours also saw the recruitment of bassist
Joe Trohman
, after Gutierrez's departure, however Trohman's severe stage fright led to the band bringing him back mid-tour, and residing Trohman to selling merchandise.
[29]
Around this time, Wentz also played in Birthright, Extinction and Yellow Road Priest. He and Arma Angelus' bassist
Joe Trohman
founded the
pop-punk
band
Fall Out Boy
after Trohman introduced Wentz to a musical acquaintance,
Patrick Stump
.
Andy Hurley
agreed to drum part-time, but only joined the band full-time later. In 2002, Arma Angelus, played its last show.

In 2002, Fall Out Boy released an EP called
Fall Out Boy/Project Rocket Split EP
. Soon after, in 2003, the band released their mini-LP
Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend
on Uprising Records.
[31]
This album would later be digitally remastered and reissued after the band's rise of popularity on the major label
Island Records
. In 2003, the band released their first full-length album,
Take This to Your Grave
through
Fueled by Ramen
. Fall Out Boy signed with major label Island Records in 2003 and in 2004 released an
acoustic
EP
and DVD entitled
My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue
.
Their second album,
From Under the Cork Tree
, was released in 2005.
Wentz wrote the lyrics to the lead single, "
Sugar, We're Goin Down
" with his dad in Chicago; the song peaked at No. 8 on the

Hot 100
[32]
and spent months in the top 50 of the Hot 100, marking five weeks in the top 10 and fourteen weeks in the top 20. The band's major label debut album has since been certified
double platinum
by the
RIAA

In 2007, Fall Out Boy's third album,
Infinity on High

This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
", which reached the top ten in the US & UK and topped the charts in New Zealand. The second single, "
Thnks fr th Mmrs
" sold more than 2 million units in the US. The band's fourth studio album,
Folie a Deux
was released on December 13, 2008, and debuted at No. 8 on the
Billboard
200. The band toured extensively in support of their albums.
In November 2009, the four band members announced they will be taking an indefinite hiatus, saying they were unsure of the future of the band. Wentz has said that his personal reason for taking a break is that he feels that his name and marriage to pop singer
Ashlee Simpson
had become a hindrance for the band. He added: "I think the world needs a little less Pete Wentz".
[33]
On February 4, 2013, Fall Out Boy unexpectedly announced their return, along with an album and single with which all four members contributed. Once again, Wentz had main control of song writing duties. On April 12, 2013, the band released a new album entitled,

[41]
In 2018, Fall Out Boy headlined
Wrigley Field
in the band's hometown of Chicago, marking a milestone in their career as their first headline show at a stadium.
[42]
Black Cards (2010?2012)
[
edit
]
Wentz with
Bebe Rexha
in 2011
In July 2010, Wentz, with singer
Bebe Rexha
, guitarist Nate Patterson, and drummer Spencer Peterson, formed the ska/electropop band
Black Cards
. Originally, the band had planned to release a full-length LP in the summer of 2011. However, after several delays, the departures of both Patterson and Rexha, and general uncertainty about the band's future, the group reshuffled, scrapping the original album and announcing plans to release a mixtape, write new material, and continue to remix tracks by other artists.
With regards to the band's sound, Wentz has said that during the time he took off to spend with his family, he began to be inspired by
Jamaican
reggae
songs such as
Culture
's "
Two Sevens Clash
" and
The Gladiators
' "Warriors".
[43]
[44]
Wentz then contacted producer
Sam Hollander
(
Gym Class Heroes
,
Cobra Starship
,
Hey Monday
) and discussed the idea with him to mash up
ska
, dance and
reggae
with 80s
British rock
and pop to create a new experimental sound.
On January 12, 2012, the band announced via Facebook that vocalist Bebe Rexha was no longer a member of the group.
[45]
Non-performance projects
[
edit
]
Wentz at the Yahoo! Yodel Studio in October 2009
Apart from his musical career, Wentz has been involved in various entrepreneurial ventures. Fall Out Boy bandmate Patrick Stump says of Wentz's endeavors: "It scares me sometimes, watching him. The two seconds you're not with that dude he's made 30 decisions that are going to affect our band for the rest of the year."
[16]
Wentz's company,
Clandestine Industries
, distributed books, clothing, and other merchandise. On August 2, 2007, fashion company
DKNY
joined a partnership with Clandestine Industries.
[46]
Wentz himself has served as a model on the DKNY/Clandestine promo website.
[47]
In April 2007, Wentz came out with his own signature
Squier
Precision Bass
. It has a black body with a red shell pickguard and special graphics that include Wentz's own red bat/heart design on the body, plus a black bat/diamond fingerboard inlay at the 12th fret. It also features Wentz's signature on the back of the headstock.
[48]
Wentz owns a very similar custom Fender bass with a purple pickguard and bat/heart. In 2008, Fender gave his son, Bronx Wentz, a three-quarter-sized modified version of his guitar.
[49]
Wentz opened a nightclub in New York with his bandmates as well as members of
Gym Class Heroes
,
The Academy Is...
, and
Cobra Starship
; the bands' managers are also involved in the enterprise. Called
Angels & Kings
, the club occupies the former space on 11th Street near Avenue A that housed the Orchid Lounge. Notable guests, including
Tommy Hilfiger
, arrived for the grand opening on April 20, 2007.
[50]
In June 2007, Wentz celebrated the opening of Angels & Kings' second location in Chicago.
[51]
On December 13, 2008, Wentz, along with
Travis McCoy
of
Gym Class Heroes
, created several pieces for an art exhibit at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles called "Without You, I'm Just Me". The exhibit closed on December 24, 2008. Wentz appeared in the season 5 episode of
CSI: NY
, "Point of No Return", along with then-wife
Ashlee Simpson
. Wentz also hosted the Australia MTV VMAs on March 27, 2009.
Wentz collaborated with
Mark Hoppus
on the track "In Transit" on the
Almost Alice
soundtrack for the 2010 movie
Alice in Wonderland
. He was also a judge for the 10th
[52]
and 11th
[53]
annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.
Friends or Enemies was a blogging platform created by Wentz to showcase "VIP" content of the bands signed to DCD2. The site first appeared online in the latter half of 2005 stating "coming this fall".
[54]
On January 16, 2006, the page published its first post, welcoming people to its BETA version; earlier that day Wentz appeared on MTV's
TRL
wearing a friendsorenemies.com branded t-shirt, to promote the website.
[55]
The platform allowed its users to customise their own page, comment and reply, and post entries on their profile. In support of Friends or Enemies, William Beckett of The Academy Is... posted on their website that it is "the hatester's MySpace",
[56]
and Cobra Starship shared a preview of their music video,
Church of Hot Addiction
on the website, a week before it was to be aired on
MTV2
.
[57]
By February 2007, Equalstudio, the designer and host of the website, stated there were over 100,000 members on Friends or Enemies.
[58]
The website became a hub for posting tour announcements and updates, and had increased its VIP journals to include bands that were not signed to DCD2, such as
Armour For Sleep
and
Innerpartysystem
[59]
[60]
In 2009, Twitter
[61]
and Facebook
[62]
accounts were created, which posted the same content as the website, that was still being regularly updated with blogs and competitions. Also in 2009, Friends or Enemies began posting on their YouTube channel which published skits, live performances and interviews.
[63]
Through 2011 and 2012, the social media pages began to post links to new music videos, while the website continued with blog updates from bands. Despite 2012 being the year for the website that had amassed the most blog posts, in January 2013, Wentz posted an edited photograph of
Britney Spears
with a shaved head, which served as his last post.
[64]
By May 2013, the homepage stated the "Network [is] offline"
[65]
and has remained down since.
Writing
[
edit
]
Wentz has written a book entitled
The Boy with the Thorn in His Side
, a story based on nightmares he had as a child.
[66]
The title is a reference to "
The Boy with the Thorn in His Side
" on The Smiths' album
The Queen Is Dead
. Wentz explained that writing books serves as another mode of self-expression other than songwriting: "My inspiration and my ideas don't begin and end at the beginning and the ending of a song. It is too limiting."
[16]
It was reported that he was to publish another book, entitled
Rainy Day Kids
, but years went by without any word on the book's progress, and Wentz even expressed on his Twitter account that he did not think it would ever come to fruition.
[67]
However, in February 2012, he posted a photo on his personal blog of what appeared to be a rough draft of the book's manuscript, explaining that he was currently in the process of editing
Rainy Day Kids
and that it would be 40?50 pages longer than he originally expected. On December 13, 2012, Wentz revealed the cover for the book, now titled
Gray
, on his personal blog. The book, which was written with
MTV News
writer and former
FNMTV
co-host
James Montgomery
, was released on February 26, 2013.
[68]
Wentz in 2007
In June 2009, it was announced that Wentz was working on a five-issue comic book mini-series called
Fall Out Toy Works
,
[69]
to be published by
Image Comics
.
[70]
The idea was conceived by Wentz and designer Darren Romanelli.
[70]
The plot is loosely based on the Fall Out Boy song "Tiffany Blews" and focuses on "a mysterious toymaker, a cyborg gal named Tiffany and a kid in a bear suit that looks lifted from the cover of Fall Out Boy's
Folie a Deux."
[70]
With writing by Brett Lewis, and art by Sam Basri, the first issue was released on September 2, 2009.
[71]
Film and television work
[
edit
]
Wentz also has a film production company called
Bartskull Films
, which put out the DVD
Release the Bats
, starring Wentz, his bandmates, and several of his personal friends. Wentz has told several sources that he has all the footage to release a sequel, but editing and time constraints have kept him from doing so, and therefore the fate of the project is still up in the air.
Wentz was in a multi-episode arc of the show
One Tree Hill
, appearing at Tric (the local all-ages club in Tree Hill) with the entire band. The band first appeared in an episode "An Attempt to Tip the Scales", where they played their single "Dance, Dance" and went on to appear on Peyton and Ellie's (also One Tree Hill's album) tribute album, "Friends with Benefit" to support cancer awareness. Wentz made his first solo cameo in the episode "When It Isn't Like It Should Be" as the romantic interest of Peyton Sawyer, a senior at Tree Hill who had booked the band to play at Tric.
He also made a brief cameo appearance in the show
Californication
. On February 6, 2008, it was reported that Wentz was the leading candidate for writer
Diablo Cody
's follow-up film to
Juno
,
Jennifer's Body
. The role ended up going to
Adam Brody
. On February 24, 2008, Wentz appeared in comedian
Jimmy Kimmel
's video "I'm Fucking
Ben Affleck
" as a chorus member (along with many other celebrities). The video was in response to one made by Kimmel's then-girlfriend,
Sarah Silverman
, "I'm Fucking
Matt Damon
".
In 2009, he made a cameo appearance as himself in
Degrassi Goes Hollywood
. In 2016, he made a guest appearance on the
Nickelodeon
series
School of Rock
.
In 2010, he made a guest appearance on the reality television show
The Spin Crowd
.
[72]
[73]
In 2012, he appeared as himself on

Personal life
[
edit
]
Wentz performing in 2006
Wentz has
bipolar disorder
, and has taken medication for it since he was eighteen.
[79]
In February 2005, Wentz attempted suicide by taking an overdose of the anxiety medication
Ativan
, and as a result, spent a week in the hospital. Commenting on the event to a magazine, he said:
I was isolating myself further and further, and the more I isolated myself, the more isolated I'd feel. I wasn't sleeping. I just wanted my head to shut off, like, I just wanted to completely stop thinking about anything at all.
[80]
The suicide attempt was put into song form, "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)", and released on their album
From Under the Cork Tree
. After this event, Wentz moved back in with his parents.
[81]
Wentz later spoke of his suicide attempt to the support site Halfofus.com.
[82]
In 2006, Wentz started dating singer
Ashlee Simpson
.
[83]
In April 2008, Simpson and Wentz confirmed their engagement,
[84]
and were married on May 17, 2008, at Simpson's parents' residence in
Encino, Los Angeles
, with her father officiating the ceremony.
[85]
Two weeks later, she confirmed her pregnancy. Her surname changed from Simpson to Wentz and she was briefly known professionally as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
[86]
Simpson gave birth to their son on November 20, 2008.
[87]
On February 8, 2011, Simpson filed for divorce, citing "
irreconcilable differences
". She asked for joint custody and primary physical custody of their son with visitation for Wentz, along with spousal support.
[88]
[89]
[90]
[91]
However, a later report said that Simpson believed the couple simply "married too young", with the source stating that, "It was honestly a classic case of marrying young, having a kid young and growing apart over the years".
[92]
Wentz reportedly did not want the divorce.
[93]
Their divorce was finalized on November 22, 2011.
[94]
[95]
Wentz is currently in a relationship with Meagan Camper. They have two children together, a son born in 2014 and a daughter born in 2018.

[97]
[98]
Philanthropy and activism

Invisible Children, Inc.
, an organization dedicated to helping the cause of displaced refugees in
Uganda
. He and Fall Out Boy traveled to the nation, and filmed the music video for the song "
I'm Like a Lawyer... (Me & You)
" there.
[99]
Prior to the trip, he participated in an event organized by Invisible Children called "Displace Me", in which 67,000 activists throughout the United States slept in the streets in makeshift cardboard villages, hoping to raise awareness about those displaced by the Ugandan government.
[100]
