Jessica Simpson Meets the Parents

by celebuzz on Jul. 1, 2008 03:08 PM / 4 Comments

Over endless soup and salad (or is it breadsticks?), Jessica Simpson was interviewed by the parents of her Dallas Cowboys quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo.

The major relationship step of introducing Jess to his mother and father seems to indicate that Tony is serious and should put to rest rumors that the two were headed for a breakup.

Unless the parents decide they hate her.

No one was more surprised to see Jessica turn up at the Janesville, Wisconsin, Olive Garden (near Romo's hometown) than the restaurant's general manager, Doug Belfanz. Belfanz told People he initially thought the reservation was a joke. "Jessica Simpson's not going to the Olive Garden in Janesville, Wisconsin!" he said.

But she did. Both she and Romo reportedly looked very comfortable. "They were acting like a couple," observed doubting Belfanz.

Well, whatever relationship problems these two might have, it's nothing some carbs and cheese can't fix. Oh, yeah, and some meat.

“When Jessica Simpson has something to tell the world, she sure knows how to get the message across.

How?

By using her fabulous bust as a mobile billboard, that's how!

This afternoon, Jessica Simpson and still totally on beau Tony Romo flew into LAX from Dallas. In addition to Jess's "Real Girls Eat Meat" shirt (and we def agree with her), we were surprised by a few things in these photos, namely:

- Neither was wearing sunglasses.
- Tony's face was not obstructed by his hat 100% of the time.
- They were both smiling!

Tony's shirt read "Hickory." These T's combined have us hoping Jessica and Tony are having a BBQ real soon (and invite us... unlikely). Welcome back to L.A., Sass 'n' Pass.

(Is her pewter purse from her fabu line of handbags as well?)”

“Jessica Simpson and her main squeeze, Tony Romo, land at LAX airport in Los Angeles after a flight from Texas on Friday.

Jessica, 27, sported a shirt that read, “Real Girls Eat Meat.” You can just see it now. Tomorrow, headlines will scream, “MEAT LOVER JESSICA SIMPSON SLAMS VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS.”

Tony, 28, recently just addressed the rumors that Jessica’s father, Joe, has been meddling in their nearly seven-month-old courtship. Romo told People, “It’s all laughable. [It’s] so far from the truth.””

“Papa Joe Simpson is reportedly defending himself against suggestions that he meddles into his daughters' relationships. Media reports have continually covered how involved Papa Joe gets with regards to Jessica Simpson's and Ashlee Simpson's personal lives.

As mentioned before, reports claimed that Tony Romo gave Jessica an ultimatum because Papa Joe was interfering. It's believed that he suggested they get engaged and said:

“I can do the same [sell it] that I did with Ashlee,”

as well as try to become the Dallas Cowboys quarterback media manager.

Yikes!

However, Papa Joe said in his defense:

“It’s unfair to criticize me for what every manager does for his or her clients. And in this business, where people can quickly turn on you, who better than a parent to be working for his children?”

Aw, poor guy - all he's doing is trying to make a buck off his kids. What's wrong with that? And since he believes his kids are hot (especially Jessica), why not?”
