Jessica Simpson Reveals Shock At Eric Johnson's Proposal

Singer Jessica Simpson opened up about her engagement to former NFL player Eric Johnson on CBS's The Early Show.

"I actually had to sit on his knee I was so shocked," she said. Simpson added that Eric asked her parents and "was a gentleman about it."

"The best thing about Eric is that he's just really thoughtful and he keeps me very centered," she said. "And always makes me feel like my feet are on the ground and is probably the most special part of my life."

"I said yes and we both definitely were teary-eyed. I didn't even try the ring on until like, five minutes in," she said with a laugh. "I was so shocked, just kind of sat there and cried with him."
