Tony Romo on relationship with Jessica Simpson: We hang out and watch football

Jessica Simpson has said plenty to the press about her relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. She’s really toned down the oversharing lately though, especially since she revealed last September that she farts in bed, likes to cuddle, prays with Tony over the phone, and spends too much money, not necessarily in that order.

Tony lent his support to Jessica with some kind statements in her Vanity Fair cover issue last month, saying that “She has a very small-town side to her. We’re very similar in that we both appreciate the hometown feel to a lot of things, and live our life like that.”

Now Tony has revealed a little more about his relationship with Jessica, which has lasted over year past their last breakup and reconciliation. He says that they hang out, eat and watch football together and that’s cool with him:

Tony Romo is super charming on and off the field, and now the busy Dallas Cowboys quarterback is talking to ET about life with girlfriend Jessica Simpson, from the perfect date night to pregnancy rumors!

So first off, any breaking news to share about a baby bump? “None that I can think of,” laughs Tony, adding, “but I’m sure you guys’ll tell me something new soon enough.”

As for the perfect date night with Jessica, Tony says, “Probably get a little bite to eat and probably watch a football game; that’s our perfect evening. … It’s exciting for both of us because I found someone I get to hang with … and she really embraces the game and really wants to see our team do well, and it’s great to have someone like that.”

I’m pretty sure I remember an episode of Newlyweds when Nick was hanging out watching a football game and Jessica was interrupting him and making fun of him the whole time. Doesn’t she seem like the type of woman who will try to do anything to please a guy she’s really into – along with forcing herself to have an interest in something that she previously couldn’t be bothered with?

Jessica told Cosmo right before Tony broke up with her temporarily that she adjusts to the person she’s dating “You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual. Come on—just be yourself! Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again.” It looks like a previously unknown interest in sports was part of that, but if she’s happy and doesn’t mind changing more power to them. Tony seems like a decent guy who is sticking with her. We’ll see if they make it official any time soon. You can tell that a marriage proposal would make Jessica ecstatic.

    I was a sports-hater before meeting my husband, but I found watching games with him was fun and that I actually liked football and rooting for our state’s teams. I didn’t start liking sports in order to please my husband.

    With Jessica, maybe Nick never made sports-watching something they could enjoy together, but Tony has. In watching The Newlyweds, episodes with Nick watching sports always showed him intensely into the games and getting really angry if his team wasn’t doing well. That doesn’t look like a fun time, and maybe that’s why she made fun of him. It also helps I’m sure that she wanted to watch Tony play, and now has a team to root for because someone she cares about is playing on it.

    There’s nothing wrong with taking an interest in something you previously didn’t. If your partner has a passion for something it’s natural to want to share it. I don’t think that makes her a relationship chameleon.

  4. Call Me Al says:

    awww…i like her.

  5. Cinderella says:

    How does she get those big-ass purses into sporting events? I didn’t think those were allowed.

    But of course, she’s Jessica Simpson.

    Cinderella – hey, that’s what I was thinking.

  7. Trillion says:

    If I were hanging out with Jessica Simpson or Tony Romo, I’d probably find something to do together than didn’t require conversation either.

    she’s so darn pretty.

    I used to hate sports with a passion, and then out of nowhere, last night, I watched an entire game of football and actually enjoyed it. So, things can change.
