Jessica Simpson has a new man! A former NFL player, Eric Johnson is tall (6 feet 3) and he’s turning 31 this September! Johnson was a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers. He played for the New Orleans Saints for a year before retiring from pro football in 2008.



TMZ reports that Johnson had split from his wife earlier this year, filing for divorce in February. A source tells TMZ that they are “very happy” together.

The two began dating five weeks ago, shortly after pals brought Johnson — who retired in 2008 after an injury-plagued career as a tight end for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers — to a party at Simpson's Beverly Hills home.

An insider thinks Jess is rushing into this. Well....I think most people do think so too. Me? Anything can happen, I don't want to make any judgements or anything, unless I'm certain, which, can't be, cuz I can't tell the future.

Anyway, congrats Jess!







Shine on,
