Jessica Simpson Meets Tony Romo’s Parents

Where do you go when Pamela Anderson hates on you?

The Olive Garden, naturally, with your boyfriend’s parents.

Okay, so it had nothing to do with Anderson’s harsh words. But Jessica Simpson did meet Tony Romo’s folks there on June 27, in his native Wisconsin.

Not surprisingly, the celebrities’ making a reservation at the far-from-fancy Olive Garden surprised even the restaurant’s general manager.

“We thought it was a big joke,” said Doug Belfanz. “Jessica Simpson’s not going to the Olive Garden in Janesville, Wisconsin!”

She did, though. Wearing a casual blouse and blue jeans, Jessica Simpson walked in holding hands with Tony Romo, who wore a T-shirt and hat.

After dinner, they posed for a photo with the staff and signed autographs. Sneaking out through the kitchen, Simpson complimented the chefs.

“They were laughing,” Belfanz told People. “It was just a big family night out.”

One that may put to rest rumors of a Tony Romo-Carrie Underwood reunion.
