Did Jessica Simpson’s K-Fed fiancé cheat on her with his ex-wife?

A lot of you used to yell at me when I referred to Jessica Simpson’s lover/boyfriend/baby-daddy/fiancé as her “K-Fed”. Eric was a professional football player, and now that he’s retired, his main job seems to be “taking Jessica out to eat” and “having sex with Jessica Simpson”. He plays a lot of golf too. And there were a lot of rumors that Jessica put Eric on her business payroll, so he gets a check for “advising” her on various things too. So… it’s all pretty sketchy, although I will admit that Eric has always seemed like a half-way decent guy, and he seems to love being a dad to baby Maxwell. But Star Magazine is trying to start some sh-t! Star/Radar claims Eric might have still been sexually involved with his ex-wife when he started up with Jessica:

New mom Jessica Simpson will no doubt be praying for a happy ending when she finally heads to the altar with fiance Eric Johnson, as the new issue of Star magazine lifts the lid on his alleged past indiscretions with none other than his ex-wife!

The Dukes Of Hazard star may have thought that her future husband’s marriage to Keri Johnson was well and truly over by the time she started dating him, but sources exclusively tell Star that the former NFL player was actually sleeping with both of them at the same time.

The news shouldn’t come as any surprise to Simpson, who knew that Johnson was still married to the freelance stylist when the pair first met at a mutual friend’s house in Los Angeles, where he had even brought Keri along as his date!

The couple was already having problems, but it wasn’t until later when they officially decided to take a break, “hoping it would ultimately make their marriage stronger,” according to one of Keri’s confidantes.

Meanwhile, Eric jumped headfirst into his relationship with the sexy singer, which sparked outrage with his ex-wife’s friends.

“He’s a two-timing cheat!” alleges one pal. “He was still having sex with Keri after he started seeing Jessica. She needs to think twice before marrying him. He’s already cheated on her once — he’ll most likely do it again.”

Meanwhile, it doesn’t look like Eric and Jessica, who recently welcomed their first child, daughter Maxwell, will be tying the knot anytime soon, and the bride-to-be even told Katie Couric that they haven’t set a date yet.

“It won’t be this year,” she told the talk show host. “I really want to do a big, fun wedding with my friends and family.”

For the full story, the new issue of Star magazine is on newsstands on Thursday.

Is it just me or is this really old news? Those of us who were paying attention when Jessica first got with Eric already knew that he had some sketchiness with his ex-wife. Like, they were trying to reconcile and then he met Jessica and the reconciliation was OVER. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was overlap in those first few months, and for that… well, all of them are sketchballs. But it’s not like this “cheating scandal” involves Eric currently cheating on his baby-mama. Right?!?

    The top photo looks like it was taken at Sears after they went clothes shopping there….Egads

  2. CAM says:

    It sounds like it was at the beginning of the relationship, which could mean they weren’t exclusive. So, if that’s the case, no big deal.

  3. DD says:

    He looks like Brit’s K-Fed 2.0 Jason.

    • brin says:

      …and Drew’s hub, and Anne’s new hub (they are all the same)!

      • alc says:

        Awww come on! This guy looks like he took one too many hits on the football field. Drew’s husband looks like he has some smarts AND he knows how to shave! I’m not convinced about Anne Hatthaway’s true love tho – he seems a little shifty to me. (I’m in trouble, I’m starting to sound like I really know these people! Time to turn off my computer I think!)

  4. marie says:

    wouldn’t his ex-wife be the one that was cheated on and Jessica was the “other woman”? And that is a cute baby, but her K-Fed is not attractive..

    • Chicagogurl17 says:

      Yes! Why is Jess the victim exactly?

    • thyphoid mary says:

      Their kid looks kind of meh or blah! It’s cutesy but looks like it has some degree of retardation…i don’t know…there’s something off abou that baby.

    • Kasey says:

      ^THIS is what I was thinking. And when these 2 started up didn’t they attempt to keep it on the DL for sketchy reasons. This doesn’t surprise me and it wouldn’t surprise me if Jessica is aware that she was cheating with him when she snatched him out of reconciliation.
      Agreed that Maxi is cute- looks like Jess to me but Eric isn’t horrible looking. He looks better than K-Fed.

  5. gee says:

    If it was before they were exclusive, ndb, but if it’s now, he is the dumbest man in all of America. They’re not even married yet.. he can kiss his paycheck goodbye.

    • Rhea says:

      LOL. Yeah, I would give him the benefit of the doubt now. He’s not that stupid…..right????

  6. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    If the guy has one brain cell concerning living the lifestyle while doing absolutely no work, he will think twice before getting with someone else.

  7. The Original Original says:

    That baby is going to have a big large jaw

  8. judyjudy says:

    She’s so orange!

  9. epiphany says:

    This old news; there was a blind item in 2011 that eluded to a do nothing BF who was being support by his celeb GF but seeng his ex on the side.

  10. Barrett says:

    Does he ever groom himself????????

    Maxwell is cute but considering mom is a fashion designer that baby outfit could be much better

    • normades says:

      Jessica is not a “fashion designer” imo. She stamps her name on things that other people have designed and than gets a big check for it.

  11. Brenda says:

    So in the middle of their break to make their marriage “stronger” (huh?), he filed for divorce and that didn’t send up a big red flag to his ex that maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t going to work out?

    That’s my only question. The rest seems like a non-story.

  12. Christina says:

    I don’t like his face. He looks like this guy I know who is a huge d-bag. They have the same smuggy d-bag face, so looking at him irks me. I could not care less if he is cheating on her or not, since she is a moron. I would feel sorry for the baby though if they split or whatever. I would not be at all surprised if he is on her payroll and getting a check for not doing a damn thing. She seems like she needs a man around , even if they are using her for her boobs and her money. At least John Mayer was only using her for her boobs…

    • TG says:

      @Christina – You said everything I was thinking. He is so gross, but she is too. She is a beautiful woman, when she isn’t being gross which is 99% of the time. What’s with these celebs dating tools.

    • Merrick says:

      Agree with everything u say 100%!!!

    • RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

      I think in order to put up with/ tolerate her vulgar, stupid or inane comments this man should be paid well!!!! I would NOT trade places with him! The woman is gross and STU-PID!!!!

  13. Alexis says:

    I think he’s cute…only because he kind of looks like a guy I used to date.

    As for their relationship, Jess better be careful. My mom always said you end up like you start out, and if Jess was knowingly helping this guy cheat on his wife, things may not work out for her. Honestly, part of me doesn’t think they’ll make it down the aisle.

  14. lucy2 says:

    The way she keeps pushing off the wedding is not a good sign, IMO. She strikes me as fairly traditional, so it’s surprising to me that they didn’t get married before the baby was born anyway.

    This doesn’t sound like he cheated on her, but it doesn’t paint him in a very good light.

    He’s a total K-Fed, don’t know why anyone would yell about that. I only think Natalie Portman’s husband shouldn’t get labeled with that, as he actually does have a career of his own.

    • Isa says:

      I agree. Natalie’s husband shouldn’t get called kfed. He has a career. He’s just not as high profile as she is. He doesn’t seem to use her to further his profile like everyone thought he would.
      This dude is totally a kfed though!

  15. dana says:

    he reminds me of slade from the real house wives of oc….

  16. gamblea says:

    has he lost weight?

  17. Dirtnap says:

    @Normades, Jessica needs to stamp her name on a men’s clothing line and put him on the payroll to model the outfits whenever they go out in public. Good gravy, Eric needs someone to dress him.

  18. Lem says:

    Quid pro quo
    He starting dating Jessica Simpson and ended engaged to Kirste Alley

  19. KellyinSeattle says:

    I agree about the first picture; looks like one of those ones of Jesus from the flea market…baby Maxi or whatever has grown a lot!

  20. c says:

    oh fuck no. not only should she not marry him, she should dump his ass STAT.

    i’ve ALWAYS gotten the impression (cheating rumors aside) that he always got on jessica’s nerves. honestly, if i was as rich and successful as her, i’d want an EQUAL, not some lazy ex football player who doesn’t feel the need for a job or a career. i mean not only that, but he seems to have a very meager personality and is not even that good looking/in shape. it speaks volumes how she keeps dancing around wedding talk in interviews and seems to want to put it off indefinitely.

    she can do so much better. i think once she gets fit again, she’ll realize that her baby can still have 2 parents, even if they’re not together anymore. right now she’s overweight, probably feeling crappy about herself and feeling STUCK with the father of her child.

    i hope. i don’t even care for this bitch but i’m going to be so happy the day she dumps him. reminds me of my ex. JESS, YOU WILL BE SO MUCH HAPPIER!!!

    • RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

      If she could “do so much better” she WOULD have done so much better. But she didnt. She DRIVES men away with her vapid personality.
      She had a great guy, Nick lachey, who ACTUALLY somehow loved her and she dumped him. BIG mistake. Then she was guy hopping FOREVER.
      She couldnt keep or get with a great guy her equal because they wont touch her even with her amazing looks. There has to be a reason why.
      So she has this moron……this, THIS, is her level.
      Yes, Im disappointed too…because I gave her more credit. However, after hearing every disgusting TMI thing she has ever said…all I have to say is I gave her far too much credit in the beginning when I hardly knew anything about her. Some people should just be quiet and look pretty.
      And, as for him, I think at this point she is very lucky to have him. Its the best she can do.

  21. palermo says:

    That photo! Does she always have to have so much boobage sticking out? It really cheapens her.

  22. Iggles says:

    He always struck me as sketchy…

    Random question, what color is Eric’s eyes? Maxi inherited the same distinctive color.

  23. Holly Hobby says:

    After looking at Nick’s baby, I can honestly say his is cuter than hers.

  24. Missanne says:

    Just my opinion, but she’s so pretty, and he’s so dumpy, dirty and plain looking. I don’t get it. Unless she just likes having an ex athelete carry her bags around.

  25. anon says:

    AS per Rob Shuter of HUff post he was told Star will be served with papers today from Jessica legal team. Star has had an agenda for years more then most about Jessica. She is in full protection mode with her daughter & finace & who can blame her.

  26. Dawn says:

    Oh who really cares what this guy does? Do you really think that she and her managers (parents) don’t already know what this guy does every minute of every day? Because I would bet they do. Jess cheated on Nick so if she gets cheated on now it is called karma. There is no way this guy is going anywhere. He knows where his bread is buttered. And she is still pissed off that she had to give Nick some of the money she earned while married to him. I doubt a marriage will ever happen between these two.

  27. anon says:

    Whoa whoa whoa who cheated.. on who.. better back up it wasn’t Jess.. the reason Nick only got 12 million & not half was the deal was the divorce would be private & sealed otherwise he would get half & details would be released as to what really went down. Don’t let Nick fool you with his whoa is me & IM a good guy. He couldn’t get anymore if he tried. Jess takes the blame & never says a word but there is every reason why NIck never got half & the divorce is sealed.

    Gossip cop has now confirmed that legal action is being taken by ERIC & Jessica both against Star. That is refreshing that both are together doing this. Gossip cop is a much better source then ROB as he has his own agenda.

    Truth be known ERIC comes from a mother that works at a very prestigous law firm & he has several lawyers in his family. Also Jessica has immediate laywers in her immediate family in uncles. Its about time they rattled a few things.. enough is enough & were talking a new born baby & her parents being libeled here. Good for them

  28. LadyB says:

    Didn’t this guy go to Yale? I’m sure his parents are thrilled he used his Ivy League degree to live off a bimbo who probably didn’t even finish high school.

  29. Grace says:

    Oh Jessica you’re a homewrecker? Thank God Nick ran. The karma from this little episode is going to be epic. When Eric cheats again, all Mexican restaurants had better start putting in ads for extra help. She’s going to need to invent a titanium version of spanx in size muumuuplus.
    Has anyone ever noticed that men named Eric are always cheaters?

    • Tammy says:

      You realize Nick was dating his wife before he and Jessica were divorced right? It’s ok for him but not for her? Ok.

  30. Giselle says:

    So he gave his wife herpes? :\

  31. Jessica says:

    Eric is a loser and Jessica NEEDS to dump the lazy bum .

    I highly doubt they will get married.

  32. The Wizz says:

    Gosh that baby is cute
