Jessica Simpson's family are apparently in "love" with latest boyfriend, Tony Romo.

The singer only started dating the American Football star last month but Tony is already charming the in-laws, according to friends.

A source said: "Jessica thinks he is hot! He's a really nice guy and her family loves him."

The coy pair spent Thanksgiving with Jessica's family and are expected to attend her best friend Cacee Cobb's birthday party this forthcoming Saturday night.

A friend said: "She wants all her friends to meet him. They are going take it easy and hang out at Jessica's house."

It was recently revealed that Jessica has her dad Joe to thank for her new relationship, after he introduced the pair.

A source said: "Joe and Tony have been friendly for a while. Joe is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, and Tony has always had a crush on her - he even said on his website about a year ago that it was his dream to date her.

"Jessica has been in Nashville and Dallas recording her new country album. When Tony found out, he called Joe and said, 'I know she's not dating anyone right now, can I take her out for a drink at least?

"Jessica said it was OK for Joe to give Tony her number and they hit it off. They've been dating for a couple of weeks now, and Jessica is so happy. She's been texting everyone about how great he is."
