Jessica Simpson’s dad, Joe, is elated to see his daughter in love and ready to head down the aisle, again.
“So very happy for Jess and Eric,” Joe Tweeted over the weekend following the news of his daughter’s engagement to her boyfriend of less than a year, former NFL player Eric Johnson. “May they have a lifetime of joy and happiness.”
According to PopEater, Joe will be even happier when his future son-in-law signs a prenuptial agreement.
“Nick [Lachey] walked away with over $10 million of her money when they divorced, because they had no prenup. You would think she would have learned her lesson,” a source claimed to PopEater’s Rob Shuter. “But where romance is concerned, Jess follows her heart not her head.”
A family friend claimed the Simpson patriarch is doing everything he can to ensure that there’s a pre-nup in place before the wedding bells ring.
“At the moment, Joe is sitting back and being a great father, supporting his daughter and his future son-in-law,” the friend told Shuter. “However, you can bet after all the excitement has died down, Joe is going to do everything in his power to make sure Jessica doesn’t walk down the aisle until Eric signs away any right he might have to Jessica’s enormous fortune.”
Jessica’s vast empire of products, endorsements and projects are reportedly worth $100 million.
A rep for Jessica had no comment when contacted by Access Hollywood, while a rep for Nick was not immediately available for comment for response to Shuter’s claims about pre-nups, past and present.
