In 2005, Wentz attempted an overdose on Ativan (an anti-anxiety medicine) because he was facing major depression at the time. But now Wentz, 29, says those days are far behind him, especially after Heath Ledger's death in January.
"Dude, after Heath Ledger... I was just like, man, this is not going to end up good," Wentz said of Ledger's death due to drug-overdose.
Now Wentz says his life is better than ever, especially with Simpson by his side. The couple married in May, and Simpson gave birth to their first son on Nov. 21.
"I realized I'd found my soul mate, and it made me want to be a better person," he says. "Now, with the baby, I want to be the best dad I can be... I think that certain things happen for a reason in your life."
