Just before Wentz wrapped up this season of Best Ink last week, the Monumentour announcement video leaked, and Wentz, along with Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams, were forced to confirm the rumors earlier than planned.

This week, Wentz made appearances on the Wendy Williams Show and  Watch What Happens Live, where he talked about questionable piercings, tattoos, his relationship with model Meagan Camper, and being a dad.

That aside, fans can’t help but wonder if there’s something else brewing for Wentz and the rest of Fall Out Boy over the horizon, because he’s been all over the place recently. The anniversary of the end of hiatus is just around the corner, too…
