Jessica Simpson's new love Tony Romo will be reeling when he hears that his girlfriend is still in touch with ex husband Nick Lachey.

The country star – who divorced Nick three years ago - tells a US publication that although their marriage didn't work out he'll still always be in her life.

Jessica tells Usmagazine.com, "Nick will always be a part of my life. But next time, I'm marrying the right one."

Speaking about current love Tony she gushes, "I'd always fall for guys I wanted to save. For the first time, I fell in love with someone who saved me."

She added,  "If I get married again, then it will be the last time.”

Jess recently shot down any rumours that she and her quarterback boyfriend were shopping for an engagament ring.
