Jessica Simpson Engaged To Former 49er Eric Johnson
HOLLYWOOD (AP/ET) - Look out, Nick. Jessica is engaged now too.
Newly engaged Jessica Simpson was sporting a new accessory on her ring finger over the weekend. The singer/actress, whose rep confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she's engaged to Eric Johnson, made an in-store appearance Saturday at a Dillard's in Kansas to promote her Jessica Simpson Collection. Jessica was wearing what looked to be an engagement ring and according to People.com, it was just that. Simpson representatives, Lauren Auslander and Cindi Berger also tell The Associated Press that the Jessica is indeed, engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson.
According to the website, Eric proposed to Jessica with a Neil Lane "three-stone ring that features a central ruby flanked by two diamonds." (see above)
The announcement comes less than two weeks after Jessica Simpson's former husband and "Newlyweds" co-star Nick Lachey announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.
Simpson and Lachey split in 2005 after three years of marriage.
