As you know, Jessica Simpson has picked a new partner, Eric Johnson – despite the fact he’s not legally single. Well, it seems Jess has gone right off the deep-end again and is already shaping her life round her man.
The new pair met just five weeks ago when friends brought Eric, who played tight-end for both the 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, to a party at Jessica’s home in Beverly Hills. And those friends seem concerned that Jess may leave skid marks in her haste to find love;
“Jess is definitely rushing into this,” one insider tells Us magazine.Yale graduate, Eric has been married for five years, and only filed for divorce back in January. But on July 1 Jessica flew to Florida to meet his whole family, and the romance was already clear. They stayed at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and spies say there were signs.
“Her hand was on his butt, and they walked slowly just to enjoy the moment. They looked cute together,” says one fellow guest.
The club’s chief bartender, Ben Brewer was also impressed.”They were very nice,” he recalls. ”She was wearing shorts and big shades. She looked absolutely stunning.”
Some reports say the pair often placed a “Do Not Disturb” sign on their door.
Next came a 4th of July celebration at the Greenbrier Sulphur Springs in West Virginia. Jessica – who turns 30 on Saturday – lounged by the pool next to Eric, sipping cocktails.
Even when they flew back to LA her infatuation was clear;
“They were huggy-kissy at the ticket counter,” an eyewitness tells the scribes. “They were holding hands, and she was rubbing his back and scratching his head. They were cute.”
This is not good. When she was dating John Mayer, Jess died her hair black. When Tony Romo appeared she was all about sports. Well, Eric’s a vegan and deep into yoga. So guess where Jess has gone now?
“Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since Friday! Who am I right now? This might be too clean!” she tweeted on June 27, clearly confused
Off the record, friends are saying Eric’s a control freak and Jessica knows it – but “she’s desperate to not be alone,” so she pretends not to care. He even sleeps-over at her place already – almost every night.
I see a cliff-edge for this couple – and it’s not far away. We’ll keep you advised…
