Jessica Simpson’s boyfriend’s dream date is watching American football

Jessica Simpson’s boyfriend’s dream date is watching American football.

Tony Romo, who is the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, admits that when he isn’t on the field he and Jessica spend their evenings viewing sport.

When asked to describe his perfect date, the athlete said: "A little bite to eat and probably watch a football game!"

Tony insists the blonde singer-and-actress is a big fan of American football and is also supportive of his career.

He added: "She loves the game. It's exciting for both of us. I've found someone that I get to hang out with and who wants to see our team do well."

Although Tony and Jessica, 28, have been dating since November 2007, the couple have no plans to settle down and start a family just yet.

When quizzed about any wedding or baby announcements, the 29-year-old hunk laughed and replied: "None that I can think of!"

Jessica may enjoy watching American football, but some Dallas Cowboys fans weren’t happy when she began dating Tony.

She was heavily criticised when the Dallas Cowboys lost in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs in 2008.

It was claimed Jessica was a distracting influence on Tony, after the pair spent the week before the big game together in Mexico.
