Tony Romo Wants Jessica Simpson's Dad to Back Off!

Jessica Simpson

A source close to Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo says that their relationship is on a "trial" basis at the moment because Tony wants to be with Jessica only as long as her controlling father, Joe, stays out of their business! Us Magazine:

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are back on — but under one condition.

Her notoriously controlling father Joe needs to stay away.

A pal from Romo's Eastern Illinois University tells the Chicago Sun-Times that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback "did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding -- keeping his promise to Jessica, but he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off."

Their relationship, the pal added, is "a trial thing," depending on Joe "leaving them alone" and not trying to manage Romo's life, career and endorsement deals."

Wow, it's bad enough that big ole Joe Simpson wants to control the lives of his own daughters, Ashlee and Jessica, but he also wants to control Tony Romo's! That's insane! Telling him what to do with his career and what endorsement deals to take. I don't care how hot Jessica Simpson is, that's enough to make me run away too!
