Jess, 30, said yes when Eric proposed on Thursday (November 11). The 30-year-old singer and her former NFL player beau began dating back in May.

I hope so! Poor Jessica has had a rough go at it in the romance department. I hope this one sticks around a bit longer than the others, she seems to be a nice, down home girl with a sweet personality, but the major issues concerns her father. His feelings towards her are bizarre.

I hope not. Jessica needs time to love herself. It seems as though she is also the latest celeb in this “Rush to the Isle” business. What happen to real love? Bouncing from guy to guy will change nothing about yourself in the morning.

So now when he drains her dry she’ll have no legal recourse? Is he going to become her new manager? Will that creepy dad allow that? Shouldn’t she want a man who has a life of his own? Don’t see this ending well – the timing screams desperate and needy.

How funny is it that Jessica gets engaged as soon as Nick and Vanessa announced their engagement? At least those two were together long enough to take the plunge. Hope it works out for them.

I really hope that this is true and that he makes her happy, she’s been through a lot lately! But this is kind of funny timing considering Nick just got engaged…

this is just pitiful. she’s so desperate.

I say she will “rush” to the altar before Nick…. She has to be in the limelight before Nick gets married….I wonder if Jessica’s dad made him sign a pre-nup?

———————————————————————————————She is obviously in love and hopefully will have some luck this time – heaven knows she really deserves it after the past few years.

Btw, Aisle in a church is spelt like this.

wow, harsh comments! jessica seems so sweet and i wish her nothing but happiness. i hope he’s the man for her! they’re adorable <3

1. He just got divorced
2. Her Ex just got engaged (after 5 years of being together)
3. They have been together 6 months
Really Jess whats the rush!

I wish Jessica and Eric much happiness. She truly has had alot of negative experiences with the men in her life. Hopefully Eric will prove everyone wrong.

Thumb up Thumb down +1

I m really happy for them… they look perfect together… Wish them all the luck :-)

Thumb up Thumb down +1

both her and nicks new marriages will fail

she is pitiful

and he clearly DOESNT want to marry vanessa

both of them are pathetic

Thumb up Thumb down +2

Is his divorce even final? Didn’t her ex just get engaged? I really think she should have waited.

Thumb up Thumb down +1

congratulations to eric and jessica! I wasn’t expecting this, but I’m very happy for them.

Thumb up Thumb down +3

I don’t like that it comes so soon after Nick’s news…it seems kind of desperate, whether it is or not. And though I have nothing to back this up, her fiancee doesn’t seem, TO ME, to be with her for her, rather her fame. That’s just how I’m reading all of this. And to propose so soon….

Nick and Vanessa have been together for what, five years? These two have been together for just over five months! it’s all kind of eye-roll-worthy.

I’d have to agree with most of the comment on here. Why all of a sudden she’s engaged right after nick got engaged? she probably got jealous and begged Eric to propose. Low life.

Thumb up Thumb down +1

I don’t even like her, but I wish her well in the romance department. I never thought she’d get another guy to marry her. Big-nosed Nick and his ***** Vanessa flaunted their engagement news, and they’re nobodies, so Jessica has the right to do the same. She’s lucky she’s found someone to even date her with her silly, crude ways; yet, she still seems a lot nicer than that high-maintence ho Nick has been with.

she still loves nick..as long as Nick didn’t make another woman official in his life, her loss was bearable…the engagement news of her ex to Vanessa must have hurt real bad ….jessica’s luck miust have also gone up 1 notch if she proposed herself and the guy agreed!
