The split comes as a shock in Hollywood, where the pair were though to be a happy duo: In fact, just two days ago, we caught up with Pete at Dragon Books in Bel Air, where he told RadarOnline.com exclusively he'd planned a "surprise" for his wife this Valentine's Day.
If Ashlee needs some advice on the divorce process, she needn't look farther than her sister Jessica, who split with ex-husband Nick Lachey in 2005. Jessica announced her engagement to her new beau, former NFL tight end Eric Johnson, this past November.
