Jessica Simpson Is Engaged

Just days after her ex Nick Lachey announced his engagement to Vanessa Minnillo, Jessica Simpson has some big news herself.

She and NFL player Eric Johnson are getting married after the couple began dating in May.
Jess was spotted wearing some major bling on her engagement finger at Dillard's in Kansas City on Saturday.

Her rep confirmed it:

"Yes, we are excited to confirm that they are engaged!"

When Jess was asked about her man, she said,

"This is just normal, thank God. He's very, very supportive. [I] couldn't ask for a better man in my life right now."

Well congrats Jessica, I guess if you feel like you are happy with him, go for it :)

Jessica Simpson Has Nothing But Love For Ex Nick

There's been plenty of speculation over Jessica's feelings about Nick's engagement to Vanessa Minnillo, and now Jessica had decided to speak up about it.

Here's what she had to say about the engagement:

"I am extremely, extremely happy for him. I don't know where all those rumors came from. My mom actually called me and said that everyone was saying that I was 'saddened.' I was just in complete shock. I couldn't be more happy for Nick."

More from Jessica:

"Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa [Minnillo]. I do, and I really wish them nothing but the best"

I am glad that she is taking the high road and is happy for him.  It has been years and years since their break up, and it is time for everyone to let it go!!!! 

Jessica And Her New Man Are Official

Now that former footaballer Eric Johnson is officially divorced from his ex-wife, Jessica Simpson probably feels a lot more comfortable discussing their relationship, so she recently revealed that she and the football player are in love!

She explains:

"As far as Eric and I go, we're just best friends. He's my dude! I love him. This [relationship] is just normal, thank God. He's very, very supportive….Couldn't ask for a better man in my life right now. I'm not gonna jinx my own self. He's the one for me right now! I'm very happy. I'm in a great place, and if right now could last forever, I'd take it."

She does sound pretty happy with him! Hopefully this one will stick!
