If Nick Lachey can't put you off marriage, nothing will: Jessica Simpson, who divorced the ex-boy band star in 2005, is headed down the aisle again, this time with a former NFLer. No, not that one. Eric Johnson, former 49er and Simpson's beau of six months, popped the question Thursday—which, UsMag notes, is a mere few days after Lachey proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo. Ah, the coincidence.
Johnson "definitely makes me very happy," Simpson told USA Today. "He brings out a lot of light in me and makes me very comfortable being who I am. It's nice to be with somebody who praises you for the right reasons." But, sigh, first the holiday planning: "Having a boyfriend through the holidays, we're going to see how that all splits up," Simpson told Ryan Seacrest last week.
