One said: “They are very happy.”

Johnson — who has previously played for the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints — split from his wife earlier this year and filed for divorce in February.

Although she was romantically linked to Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan late last year, Simpson hasn’t been in a serious relationship since ex-boyfriend Tony Romo dumped her on her 29th birthday.

Despite the way Romo ended their romance, Simpson insists they are still friends.

She has said: “Tony is great, still a friend of mine. I still look at his cute butt in the outfit/uniform. What went wrong? You’d have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday… but we are still good friends.”

Simpson was previously married to singer Nick Lachey and dated John Mayer for nine months.
