A statement issued by them both:
We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us. - Ashlee and Pete
Another Simpson wedding! Those are awesome affairs! Can’t wait to see all the details in In Style Weddings.
p.s. The Starbucks thing was a big let down. They just gave out SHORT samples of their new Pike Place brew - it was fine, but not worth hauling my butt all the way to Starbucks, and definitely not “Venti big,” as promised below.

I love this picture of them. Her right hand is SO awkward! Actually both hands are awkward. What is up with that?

This is a sad day for the United States of America.
In more positive news, at least they’ll both be able to share eyeliner.
And why did Ass-lee’s single, “OUTTA MY HEAD (YA YA YA YA)” not EXPLODE?! It was produced by Timbaland and was so fun and danceable. Sad.
