The 30-year-old singer’s boyfriend, Eric Johnson, reportedly put a ring on it November 11, just days after news leaked that her ex-husband Nick Lachey became engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo.

Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson history
With two separate weddings to plan for the once-married couple, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, the race to the altar will be closely watched. Simpson and Lachey were married for three years before the couple divorced in 2005. Many believed it was the stress of young marriage and the spotlight of their reality show Newlyweds:Nick and Jessica that contributed to their downfall, but either way, they both seem happy at this very moment.
After rumors began circulating that Simpson was freaking out over Lachey’s engagement, she took to Ryan Seacrest’s morning show to officially congratulate them. “I am extremely, extremely happy for him,” she told Seacrest. “Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa [Minnillo].”
Both Simpson and Lachey deserve to be separately happy in their lives and both engagements are exciting. We just can’t wait to see who dons the better wedding dress. Who do you think will shine brighter on their wedding day — Jessica Simpson or Vanessa Minnillo? They both have great style, so this one will be tough to call.
