Jessica Simpson’s “Cowboy”

December 12th, 2008 by

For those of you who are curious about Jessica Simpson’s main squeeze, Tony Romo, here are some fast facts about her “cowboy“:

Name: Antonio “Tony” Ramiro Romo
Birthdate: April 21, 1980 (that makes him 28)
Birthplace: San Diego California
Height: 6 ft, 2 in
Weight: 224 lbs

Fun facts: He has dated singer Carrie Underwood and was also “seen” with actress, Sophia Bush

Why sports fanatics dig him:

He is the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys (yes, the Cowboys, thus the “cowboy” nickname), and one of their better players. He broke the record for most touchdown passes (33 in a season), and has led the Cowboys to victory in most of their games this year by giving passing TDs and scoring occasional touchdowns himself. He’s also had his share of injuries, having had a broken pinky finger, and a large gash on the chin. Well, that’s part and parcel of being a player in a game involving a small ball, big men, and testosterone.

Why Jessica loves him:

He was dubbed as the “next Tom Cruise”! In being a do-gooder, anyway. Jessica has credited him with saving her, from what, is anybody’s guess. He helped a stranded couple by changing their flat tire after a game with the Cleveland Browns. At that time, he had 13 fresh stitches on his chin from being banged up by a Browns player. He has also been known for treating a homeless guy to a movie! Wow! Now, ain’t that something? But apart from charity work, Tony must be a really good boyfriend, because they’ve been together for more than a year. They’ve also had their share of engagement and break-up rumors, though none of them are true (no folks, they aren’t engaged).
