Singer Jessica Simpson, who just got engaged to her beau Eric Johnson, reportedly had to buy her own engagement ring, a $100,000 ruby and diamonds Neil Lane ring. The singer was first spotted with the exquisite rock at Dillard’s department store in Kansas City before confirming her engagement last weekend.

Confirmed: Jessica Simpson Engaged To Eric Johnson!

Many have questioned Eric’s good intentions and questioned his and Jessica’s relationship. The former NFL star is allegedly an attention-seeker who could not even afford to buy a ring to his fiancée. Yep, Jessica most probably have to pay for her own engagement ring!

“No way could Eric, who doesn’t have a job at the moment, afford to purchase such an expensive ring,” a friend of Jessica’s tells me. “Yes, he made a little bit of money in the NFL and is from a wealthy family, but unless his parents helped him out, Jessica must have paid for it herself.”

“First, we find out that Jessica doesn’t want to have a prenup, and now we find out that she might have paid for her own ring. It just doesn’t feel right to me,” a family friend tells me. “We all want Jessica to be happy and finally find true love after all she has been through, but she doesn’t understand that in the long run if she pays for everything it will hurt her relationship with any man.”

Perhaps Jessica and Eric are really completely head over heels, but the timing of their announcement was not the best. The lovebirds confirmed their engagement just a few days after Jessica’s ex-husband, Nick Lachey, announced he was engaged to his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.
