Jessica Simpson Announces Engagement, Has No Plans for Prenup

Pop singer and actress Jessica Simpson recently announced her engagement to former professional football player Eric Johnson, and she has also stated that she refuses to sign a prenuptial agreement, reports gossip blogger Perez Hilton.

Simpson and Johnson have been dating since May of this year. It will be the second marriage for each.

According to the source, Simpson does not believe that she has to protect her $100 million fortune from her fiance. Her father and manager, Joe Simpson, however, disagrees.

A family friend told the source that "at the moment, Joe is sitting back and being a great father, supporting his daughter and his future son-in-law. However, you can bet after all the excitement has died down, Joe is going to do everything in his power to make sure Jessica doesn't walk down the aisle until Eric signs away any right he might have to Jessica's enormous fortune."

Simpson also did not sign a prenuptial agreement for her first marriage to singer Nick Lachey. When Simpson and Lachey divorced after three years of marriage, he received $10 million of her money.
