Joe Simpson 'Very Happy' for Jessica and Eric

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 15th 2010 07:12AM

Jessica Simpson just accepted a ruby-and-diamond engagement ring from her boyfriend of five months, football player Eric Johnson, and her father is already prepared to walk her down the aisle. "So very happy for Jess and Eric," Joe Simpson posted Sunday night on Twitter. "May they have a lifetime of joy and happiness."

On Saturday, Simpson was spotted wearing a large ring on her left hand while making an appearance at a Kansas mall. Her rep has yet to confirm that she and Johnson are officially engaged.

Just days earlier, news broke that ex-husband Nick Lachey was engaged to his longtime live-in girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo.

Simpson met Johnson in May, and their speedy courtship took a big step forward when he accompanied her to Italy to celebrate her 30th birthday in July. Last month -- shortly after Johnson's divorce from his wife of five years was finalized -- Simpson gushed in the press about her new romance: "We're just best friends. He's my dude! I love him."

Of Johnson, she's also said: "He's very, very supportive ... I couldn't ask for a better man in my life right now." This will be the second marriage for both.

The TV starlet wed pop singer Lachey at the age of 22 in 2002. After starring on the MTV hit 'Newlyweds,' the couple divorced in 2006. Lachey, 37, began dating Minnillo shortly after the divorce. Simpson has since dated singer John Mayer and football star Tony Romo.

I'm sure Joe will milk this 'engagement' for what's its worth.
This man forgot to be a dad the moment he became Jessica's manager.

Do you think Daddy Dear will manage to stay out of this marriage?

By georgie

Well, he messed up her first marriage, that might have been the real deal. Although, I like Jessica, she isn't getting any younger, and her little sister is already married with a child. I don't think Joe had the pull over Ashley like he has Jessica. If this is true love for Jessica and Eric, then they need to shut Joe out of their lives as much as possible to have some sort of happy life.
