Hey Nick and Vanessa, take this! Jessica Simpson has confirmed her engagement to former NFL ace Eric Johnson after less than one year of dating.

“Yes, I am excited to confirm that they are engaged,” a representative for the bubbly-albeit-unlucky in love blonde told the media on Sunday.

(Is it just us or does someone else hear the unmistakable sound of a shotgun firing off somewhere in the background of this sudden engagement?)

The singer-and-actress is set to wed Johnson after he proposed to her on Thursday, Nov. 11, six months after they started dating and exactly one week after Simpson’s former husband, boy bander Nick Lachey, announced that he’s marrying longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

Way to steal the thunder, Jess.

Jessica’s wasting no time shouting her happiness from the rooftops: The 30-year-old star showed off her “sizeable” diamond engagement ring during a Kansas City photocall promoting her Jessica Simpson Collection fashion line.

Jess has said her relationship with Eric is far less crazy than some of her previous hookups. “This is just normal, thank God,” she told radio/TV personality Ryan Seacrest earlier this month. “He’s very, very supportive. [I] couldn’t ask for a better man in my life right now.”

Let’s just hope this engagement moves along with more melody than Eric’s last marriage: The “Come on Over” hitmaker began dating Johnson in May, three months after the sportsman filed for divorce from stylist Keri Johnson.
