HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Joe Simpson is rejoicing now that his daughter Jessica is engaged to former NFL star Eric Johnson.
"So very happy for Jess and Eric," the proud father said on Twitter Sunday night. "May they have a lifetime of joy and happiness."
Simpson, 30, and Johnson, 31, confirmed the engagement over the weekend. The two have been nearly inseparable since they were introduced by friends back in May.
This will second marriage for both stars. Johnson finalized his divorce from stylist Keri Johnson earlier this year, while Simpson split with ex Nick Lachey in 2005 after three years of marriage.
As fate would have it, Lachey recently got engaged to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo - news that Simpson toasted when she spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show last week.
"I am extremely, extremely happy for him," she said. "Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa. I do, and I wish them nothing but the best."
