Jessica Simpson is Engaged

Ten days after her ex, Nick Lachey, announced his engagement to Vanessa Minnillo, comes word that Jessica Simpson and her beau of five months, Eric Johnson, are heading toward the altar too.

Johnson, a free agent NFL player, popped the question yesterday with a three stone diamond dazzler from jeweler-to-the-stars, Neil Lane and Simpson was already flaunting it today during a promotional event for her clothing line at a Dillard's department store in Kansas City, MO.

Although Johnson was married (but separated) when he began dating Simpson back in May, his divorce became final in October. Simpson apparently had a good feeling about this new relationship, telling "PEOPLE" magazine in the spring that "I think 30 is going to be a good year for me!"

Simpson's brother in law, Pete Wentz, has nothing but nice things to say about Johnson and we're sure that we'll soon be hearing what Papa Joe Simpson has to say about this news any day now.

One person who may decide not to chime in is Simpson's ex-bff (and the artist behind many of her hairstyles) Ken Paves,from whom she's recently become estranged.
