Jessica Simpson has her own happy news and that is that she is engaged to her boyfriend since May, Eric Johnson. Eric proposed on Thursday which was just days after the announcement that Jessica’s ex-husband Nick Lachey and his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo were engaged. Jessica and Nick were married for three years and split in 2005.

Of course the rumours were swirling that Jessica was heartbroken which were not true (she’s long over his ass). US Weekly broke the news when on Saturday:

Simpson flashed a sizable ring on her left hand during an appearance at Dillard’s at Oak Park Mall in Kansas City.

Her rep has confirmed the news:

“Yes, we are excited to confirm that they are engaged!”

Jessica has been criticised for being in love with being in love and that she falls in love with every man she dates. I hope this works out for her and she finds the happiness she needs in life.

I hope Jessica isn’t so over-the-moon in love that she forgets one very important thing:  Pre-nup!!
