Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are not expecting twins, according to the couples' representative.

Yesterday, a friend of Wentz claimed that Simpson, who appeared heavily pregnant at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, was anticipating two babies.

But, speaking to Access Hollywood, a spokesperson branded the claims “not true”.

Simpson joined Wentz and the rest of Fall Out Boy at Sunday's awards ceremony, which was dominated by Britney Spears, who took home three awards.
