The pop singer started dating Romo in November because of her father, but people now speculate that Joe Simpson’s presence is now having a negative impact on the relationship.
A family friend stated, "Joe is always around – he even went with Tony and Jessica to Cabo on holiday. It’s weird that Joe was on vacation with them. But he oversteps his bounds all the time, and Jess lets him. Joe just can’t leave Jess’ love life alone. His over protectiveness has always caused huge problems in Jessica’s relationships."
Apparently Joe’s presence took its toll on her former relationships with Nick Lachey and John Mayer.
Another source indicated that Romo is not too bothered by Joe’s presence. "Tony just laughed when he heard Joe was coming on holiday. He knows Joe is one of his biggest fans, and he wants to have a good relationship with him. So if Joe wanted to hang out with them in Cabo, there was no way Tony was going to say no. Tony likes Joe, but at some point he’s going to get sick of Joe hanging around and all the calls and family get-togethers", a source told Life and Style magazine.
