When the first photos of her mini baby bump hit the news, younger Simpson sibling Ashlee hated what she saw. In an interview with Life & Style, the pop star’s mother, Tina, shared her daughter’s body-image crisis and how Ashlee’s hubby, Pete Wentz, saved the day. “Ashlee called me in tears the other day,” Tina told L&S. “She said, ‘Oh my gosh, Mom, did you see those pictures of me on the beach? My stomach looks like a rectangle. I look like SpongeBob SquarePants!”

Tina offered support, but Ashlee refused to take her mom’s words to heart. “I told Ashlee, ‘Aww, honey, no, you’re beautiful — you’re pregnant. She said, ‘but I look so fat!’”

Although Tina found the situation more amusing than worrisome, she sent a text message to her new son-in-law for a little support.

“I told him what Ashlee said, and Pete wrote back, ‘I love SpongeBob!’ Pete’s great!”
