Jessica Simpson shared details about her past relationship with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. In her memoir, she described their 2007-2009 romance, its sudden end, and a recent issue over a shared boat. Her story mixes humour and reflection, shedding light on life after a high-profile breakup.
Simpson and Romo dated for nearly two years, drawing heavy media attention. Their relationship ended just before her 29th birthday in 2009. Simpson wrote that Romo ended things after finding emails suggesting she met musician John Mayer. She denied cheating but admitted to seeing Mayer. Romo didn’t believe her, and, as Simpson put it, “Two years, gone with an email.”
Years later, Romo contacted Simpson about a boat they co-owned. He needed her to sign over her share to sell it. Simpson agreed and completed the paperwork. In return, Romo sent her plastic cups as a thank-you. She laughed, saying, “I’m glad we didn’t work out.” This quirky exchange shows how past ties can linger, even in small ways
