Jessica & Tony's Waverly Inn Dinner Date

Jessica Simpson holds onto Dallas Cowboys QB boyfriend Tony Romo as they leave the Waverly Inn together in NYC’s West Village on Monday night.

Earlier in the day, Romo was honored at Cosmopolitan‘s Fun Fearless Male of the Year Awards. There, he cleared up some rumors about Jessica‘s father playing matchmaker for the two of them.

“No, not true,” Romo told People. “I had met her dad a long time ago. He was there at the same time I met her, but it was indirect. You know, you just start talking. Some people take a liking to each other. Some don’t.”
