Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson will ask John Mayer to be a godparent to their baby when it’s born.

Pete has recently formed a friendship with rocker John – a former beau of Ashlee’s sister Jessica – and reckons he would be a good role model for their baby girl, due in October.

A source close to the couple says: “Pete and John have been spending a lot of time together lately and they get on so well.

“They are firm friends. John gets a bad rap and is always portrayed as a bad boy but he’s got a heart of gold.

“Pete and Ashlee know that and they think he would make a great godparent.”

The source adds: “But they are holding back asking him at the moment because they are not sure how Ashlee’s sister Jessica would feel about her ex having such a strong link to her new niece.”
