LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Fatherhood agrees with Pete Wentz.

The Fall Out Boy rocker said he and wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who welcomed son Bronx Mowgli 10 months ago, would love to have more kids.

“Everything is awesome about being a dad,” he told People. “Eventually we want to be able to have a soccer team.”

But the busy pair just has to make time.

“Ashlee is really focused on ‘Melrose Place’ right now and I’m figuring what I’m doing next year,” he explained.

In the meantime, he’s enjoying having Bronx grow up and mature.

“When they start hanging out with dad more you’re like, ‘Wow I feel like a dad,’” he said. “You go to music class and do fun stuff together, it’s cool.”

And Pete said fatherhood has given him a renewed appreciation for his own dad.

“It makes me realize all of the little things that my dad sacrificed when he had me,” Pete told the mag. “It’s sad it took 30 years but I totally realize it now.”
