Jessica Simpson Gushes About Boyfriend Eric Johnson: 'I Love Him!'
After taping a PBS holiday special this week (on which she'll sing music from her upcoming Christmas album),
Jessica Simpson didn't hold back about how her current relationship is going.
The reality star told
People.com that boyfriend Eric Johnson simply makes her happy.
"As far as Eric and I go," she said, "we're just best friends. He's my dude! I love him."
Simpson reportedly began dating the former NFL player in May, and the pair traveled to Italy with friends in July to celebrate her 30th birthday in style.
Is the VH1 star crowing more openly about her love life now that she's with a legally single man?
According to official papers filed in Los Angeles, the divorce between Johnson and his ex-wife Keri was finalized last month, with no spousal support awarded to either party (the couple, married five years, reportedly separated in October 2009).
Simpson's "dude" is a 31- year-old who played football as a student at Yale, before his five-year career in the NFL.
"This [relationship] is just normal, thank God," Simpson explains. "He's very, very supportive....Couldn't ask for a better man in my life right now."
When asked by People.com if she thinks Johnson is "the one" for her, she was both cautious and effusive: "I'm not gonna jinx my own self. He's the one for me right now! I'm very happy. I'm in a great place, and if right now could last forever, I'd take it."
Vh1 is scheduled to bring back a revamped version of 'Price of Beauty' in early 2011. Will the episodes feature
less Ken Paves and more Eric Johnson? We'll be waiting to see!

she likes football players indeed, but at least she didn't go ghetto trolling like that skank Kardashian.
Boy she sure is a needy person. She's been in love with every guy she's dated since her marriage breakup according to her she loved each one she was with. Get a grip Jessica.

Smother love at it's finest! Looks like Jess never learns.

JJ - It looks like she'd smother him if she ever ended up on top. Could be a case of crib death.
Lets see she loved Nich Lachey-then John Mayer-then Tony Romo-she has alot of love to share. I think she's on love with the idea of being in love and doesn't deal with being alone very well. This guy will be replaced with someone else in a couple of months and she'll be gushing about them.

I hope she fines someone as nice as her...and not use her like her ex husband did......she has a beautiful voice and a womans body...

Her ex-husband didn't use her. As I recall, Ms. Simpson pimped her relationship to Nick Lachey from the very beginning. You seem to forget who was a bigger star in the beginning.And her father didn't hesitate to use their relationship to jump start Ashlee's career either.
She is a child in an adults body.
dang Jessica...hit the treadmill

Hey, that guy went to YALE and was able to play football all the way to the NFL.
I think I will go with his opinion of Jessica.

Hey Jessica, even with the black dress, you can't hide all the weight that you've put on. Camon girl, hit the gym, before you get dumped and you will, if you don't lose all that new weight. Time for you to learn how & what to eat, don't you think???

I think she is in love with her refrigerator
My guess is that she is as emotionally mature as a 13yr. old child and is and probably always be in love with love. That means continuing frequent heartache for the woman-child.
