Plastic Cups for a Boat? Tony Romo's Embarrassing Gift Goes Viral!
EXCLUSIVE: Jessica Simpson Spills Tea on Ex-Boyfriend Tony Romo - And It's a Scorching Hot Mess!
The drama never ends when it comes to celebrity relationships, and the latest serving of tea has been dished out by none other than country music star Jessica Simpson. During a recent concert, Simpson let loose about her tumultuous romance with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo - and trust us, it's a juicy tale.
For those who may have forgotten (or didn't pay attention), Simpson and Romo were the epitome of a high-profile couple back in 2007-2009. Their relationship was constantly scrutinized by the media, with some even accusing them of being a "celebrity publicity stunt." And to make matters worse, then-President George W. Bush himself weighed in on their romance, claiming that Simpson was somehow responsible for Romo's subpar performances on the field.
But it seems like the drama didn't end when they parted ways. According to Simpson, Romo recently reached out to her - yes, you read that right, REACHED OUT - to ask for help selling a boat they purchased together during their time as a couple. Because, why not? It's not like he was busy with his NFL career or anything.
So, here's what went down: Simpson's mom received a call from Romo himself, asking if she could facilitate the sale of the boat since Jessica's name was still on the title (nice touch, Tony). And then, because why would things go smoothly in this relationship, Romo sent Simpson paperwork to sign over ownership of the boat - as a "thank you" for her help. The pièce de résistance? A parting gift of PLASTIC CUPS.
We can only imagine the look on Simpson's face when she opened that package. "Honestly, plastic cups," she deadpanned to the crowd during her concert. "I'm like 'Wow, I'm glad we didn't work out.'"
Needless to say, Cowboys fans (who, let's be real, were never exactly fans of Simpson's) had a field day with this latest development. One fan quipped, "Romo stays winning lol take your cups and be happy," while another chimed in with a quote from former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens: "That's my quarterback."
But it seems like not everyone is buying into the "Tony Romo still got game" narrative. Another fan pointed out that maybe (just maybe) his ex-girlfriend wouldn't have been thrilled if he'd bought her something nicer than plastic cups. Who knew?
It's worth noting that Simpson and Romo didn't exactly part ways on good terms, with a friend of the quarterback's telling Us Weekly at the time, "It's been a long time coming. They go from one fight right into another, without a second break. It's always something with Jessica."
Fast forward to 2023, and it seems like Simpson is back in the spotlight - albeit not exactly in the most glamorous way. She recently made her return to the MTV VMAs with a show-stopping performance (which we'll get to later), but first, let's revisit the saga of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson.
Sources close to the singer have confirmed that she's still reeling from the experience, and who can blame her? I mean, would you want to be reminded by your ex-boyfriend that you're not worth more than a few plastic cups?
Stay tuned for more updates on this drama-filled saga - we've got a feeling there's plenty more where this came from!
