New York, May 17 (ANI): Sports star Tony Romo ended his romance with Jessica Simpson after growing tired of her meddling father, according to reports.

A close friend of Romo, claims that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and the pop star "are definitely over," despite Simpson's representatives insisting the duo are still an item.

The pal also revealed that Jessica's overbearing father, Joe Simpson, was one of the major reasons behind their split, reports the New York Daily News.

According to the friend, Romo had "really had it" with the deep media scrutiny surrounding his relationship with Simpson, and was particularly upset that the singer referred to him as her "future husband" in a recent interview with Glamour magazine.

The unnamed pal told the Chicago Sun-Times that Joe had been "not only telling Jessica every move to make, but now has begun to offer unsolicited advice to Tony on his career, endorsement opportunities and things that have nothing to do with him dating Jessica." (ANI)
