"Wedded bliss didn&amp;apos;t last very long for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz.\r\nAlthough the couple&amp;apos;s Wednesday divorce announcement came as a shock to many, insiders saw trouble brewing way back in June 2009  -- when Ashlee, 26, and Pete, 31, were married for a mere 13 months, and prone to explosive blowouts often punctuated by alcohol.\r\n\r\nAt issue? Balancing their professional and romantic lives with the pressures of parenting an infant son, Bronx, then 7 months.\r\nAt the time, the duo fought &amp;quot;constantly,&amp;quot; and singer-actress Ashlee was &amp;quot;seriously considering leaving him,&amp;quot; one insider said.\r\n\r\nThings boiled over at a June 1 party -- where a visibly drunk Ashlee got into a nasty public spat with Michelle Trachtenberg, Pete&amp;apos;s ex girlfriend.\r\nSimpson-Wentz was &amp;quot;reverting to drinking and going out, because she is sick and tired of her life,&amp;quot; another pal said.  The alcohol was &amp;quot;an outlet for her unhappiness, and Pete is getting fed up.&amp;quot;\r\nAfter hanging out in the same social circles for years, the couple got romantic in late 2006 -- and raced to the altar in May 2008, when she was 3-months pregnant.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Ashlee loves Bronx but jumped into marriage and having a baby too quickly,&amp;quot; one pal told Us. &amp;quot;They feel they got trapped in a situation they were too young for.&amp;quot;\r\nIn Wednesday&amp;apos;s statement released by their spokesperson, the couple said: &amp;quot;We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
