Jessica Simpson ‘cried’ after beau popped the question

WASHINGTON - Jessica Simpson has revealed that she cried after accepting beau Eric Johnson’s marriage proposal.

Opening up about her engagement during this week’s CBS’ The Early Show, Simpson, 30, said Johnson’s proposal was “a total surprise.”

“To really get what was happening.”
