Jessica Simpson Recalls Recent Tony Romo Run-In Over Boat Title at Benefit Show

She shared the story onstage in Pittsburgh as a wry note in a season focused on new music after her separation from Eric Johnson.

Overview

  • Simpson told the Women Who Rock crowd that Romo called her mother to say he was selling a boat still titled in Simpson’s name.
  • She said paperwork soon arrived for her to sign the title so the sale could proceed, calling the exchange non-romantic.
  • Simpson joked that Romo thanked her with plastic cups and quipped that she was glad their relationship didn’t work out.
  • The remarks were captured in fan video from the Sept. 5 performance in Pittsburgh; the pair dated from 2007 to 2009.
  • Reports have cited a National Enquirer claim that the vessel was a $100,000 gift, which has not been verified, and Romo’s representatives were not immediately available for comment.
