Tony Romo has reportedly agreed to give his relationship with Jessica Simpson another shot – but only if her meddling father Joe keeps his distance.
The couple’s romantic status has remained a mystery amid persistent reports of a split, despite the pair being seen together on a number of occasions in recent weeks.
Now one of Romo’s college buddies is lifting the lid on what caused the split.
''He did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding - keeping his promise to Jessica,'' an unnamed source tells the Sun Times.
''But he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off.''
Joe Simpson manages both Jessica and sister Ashlee’s careers - and is well-known for taking a hands on approach to their private lives as well.
Apparently, three was most definitely a crowd for Romo.
The source adds that the Dallas Cowboy has agreed to a ''trial'' reunion, dependent on Joe ''leaving them alone.”

Jimmy Eat World BLEED AMERICAN Deluxe (Geffen/UMe) Out April 29
2-Disc Edition Features Rare Import Tracks, B-Sides, Previously Unreleased
Live And Demo Tracks, Newly Recorded 'Your House 2007'
'[Jimmy Eat World] conjure that shock of near-bubblegum catchiness,
airtight ensemble attack and bittersweet mingling of anguish and uplifting
melody that many bands fake but few can pull off ... Jimmy Eat World have
managed to be radical by just being sincere.' -Rolling Stone lead review of
BLEED AMERICAN, Aug. 16, 2001
'Tuneful, retro alt-rock - Brilliant!' -BLENDER, BEST OF 2001
'An eclectic sonic feast (Album of the week)' -PEOPLE, August 6, 2001
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 7, 2008 -- For every artist
paralyzed with fear and frustration as to how to "make it" in today's
terrifying marketplace, the story behind Jimmy Eat World's BLEED AMERICAN
provides both inspiration and a lesson in Perseverance 101.
Circa August 1999, things couldn't look much more dire for the Mesa, AZ
foursome. Jim Adkins, Rick Burch, Zach Lind and Tom Linton had seen their
two major label full lengths, STATIC PREVAILS and CLARITY, ignored by
mainstream media, radio and their label Capitol Records, who had just
unceremoniously dropped them.
However, this same turn of events that has broken the will -- and the
bank -- of many a lesser artist found Jimmy Eat World celebrating its
newfound independence with a self-promoted five-week tour of Europe. That
their label had never released Jimmy Eat World material overseas was hardly
an obstacle: the band began buying its own records from the label's
distributor and shipping them to Europe independently. Within a year, Jimmy
Eat World was playing Europe's biggest festivals as CLARITY hit the German
charts, self-releasing and independently releasing compilations and EPs,
doing Japanese licensing deals, and touring touring touring ... ultimately
channeling everything back into the recording of BLEED AMERICAN.
Having recorded it on their own dime as a dedication to the fans that
had kept them alive during the lean times, the members of Jimmy Eat World
couldn't possibly have predicted that BLEED AMERICAN would become a
platinum-plus, MTV VMA-nominated bona fide career breakthrough smash.
Released in July 2001, in a world with no iTunes store, no MySpace, no
Facebook, and charts still utterly dominated by the Britneys, N Syncs and
Limp Bizkits, four down to earth guys from Arizona who'd just been dropped
by a major label improbably rode this self-funded album to platinum status,
their biggest tours to date and an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
For anyone looking to do the same, the path is simple: Just create
songs as heartfelt, tuneful and instantly indelible as BLEED AMERICAN's
title track, "The Middle," "Sweetness," "A Praise Chorus" or "The Authority
Song," all of which remain staples of the band's live set to this day. And
for those who crave something other than the perfect upbeat and optimistic
pop anthem, the minor key whisper-to-a-scream "Get It Faster," the five and
a half minute "Cautioners" and the somber "My Sundown" all stand as proof
of Jimmy Eat World's daring and depth.
This 2-disc deluxe edition of BLEED AMERICAN not only restores the
record's original title -- the band re-titled the record JIMMY EAT WORLD
following the events of 9/11 and the subsequent deployment of U.S. troops
to the Middle East -- but also provides further documentation of Jimmy Eat
World's powerful and prolific output circa 2001-2002: obscure fan favorites
"No Sensitivity," "Softer" and "(Splash) Turn Twist," the collectors item
holiday single "Last Christmas"/"Firestarter," the band's cover of Guided
By Voices' "Game of Pricks," and the piece de resistance, the never before
heard "Your House 2007." The stunning reimagining of the BLEED AMERICAN
track the band debuted on its 2007 stripped down semi-acoustic tour
elicited an unexpectedly intense response from fans at the shows and later
on message boards, moving the band to commit the arrangement to tape to
honor its fans if nothing else ...
The 2-disc BLEED AMERICAN deluxe collects all this and more for the
first time in one place, creating an essential and comprehensive document
for any fan of Jimmy Eat World -- or any fan of what USA TODAY called
"euphoric, uplifting, reassuring rock."

Rihanna - Rihanna Haircut Helped Me Find Myself
Singer RIHANNA has credited her shorter hairdo with distinguishing her from other pop stars - and for allowing her to discover herself.
The 20-year-old rebelled against her record label's wishes last year (07) when she chopped her long locks into an edgy pixie cut to coincide with the release of her album Good Girl Gone Bad.
And the Umbrella hitmaker insists the change in style helped her establish her independence.
She says, "I felt like the whole world had long, curly, flowy blonde hair. Ciara, Beyonce, Mariah, Christina Milian. Everybody wanted to be like everybody else. So I cut my hair and they (Def Jam) made me put my long hair back in (as extensions).
"The second time, I didn't have any discussions, nothing. I just cut it, I dyed it black, I went into the studio making music my way. I found myself all at once. I like things strong, edgy, a little to the left. I don't like things that are expected - nothing cliched."
