Jessica Simpson’s representatives continue to insist the duo are still a couple. Plus sources close to both Simpson and Romo tell me the NFL star likely will keep his promise to escort Jessica to sister Ashlee Simpson’s marriage this weekend to Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz.
Yet, the Romo pal — part of the posse that hung with the pro-baller during his hard partying in Chicago last weekend (including his off-key singing at Wrigley Field during the seventh inning stretch) — quotes Romo as saying he and Simpson ”are definitely over.” The Cowboy apparently explained he had ”really had it” with being a constant target of the paparazzi and the celebrity press in general, and feels this particular romantic relationship was distracting him from his football career.
• Furthermore, Romo reportedly was very upset by Simpson’s interview in Glamour magazine where she referred to Romo as her ”future husband” and other on-the-record interviews she has given, saying she wants Romo to be the father to her children.
• Rumors of the Simpson-Romo split have been fueled by stories in the Dallas Morning News and Us Weekly, which also points out in its new issue that Simpson is feeling particularly fragile — upset by stories about her ex-beau John Mayer now dating Jennifer Aniston. Though the two singers have been split for some time, ”Jessica is still bugged by the way John dumped her,” said a friend Thursday.
