Jessica Simpson has thing for beefy football players. She’s got a new boyfriend. It’s former NFL player Eric Johnson. He played for the New Orleans Saints from 2007 to 2008, but hasn’t had a job in football since then.

The pair started dating about six weeks ago. Eric spent Jessica’s 30th birthday with her on the Italian island of Capri along with friends and family, including Jessica’s sister Ashlee. Ashlee tells usmagazine.com “She is happy, so we are all really happy. Her happiness is the most important thing to me.”

Jessica hasn’t had the best luck in the last few years with boyfriends, so we wish her luck.
