Jessica Simpson's father is ruining her relationship with Tony Romo with his constant meddling. 'The Dukes of Hazzard' actress started dating the American football star last November after being set up by Joe, but insiders claim his constant presence is endangering the fledgling romance.

One family friend said: "Joe is always around - he even went with Tony and Jessica to Cabo on holiday. It's weird that Joe was on vacation with them. But he oversteps his bounds all the time, and Jess lets him."

"Joe just can't leave Jess' love life alone. His over protectiveness has always caused huge problems in Jessica's relationships."

Although Joe's shadow has affected his daughter's relationships with her ex-husband Nick Lachey and John Mayer, Dallas Cowboys player Tony is happy to indulge Joe - for now.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Tony just laughed when he heard Joe was coming on holiday. He knows Joe is one of his biggest fans, and he wants to have a good relationship with him. So if Joe wanted to hang out with them in Cabo, there was no way Tony was going to say no."

"Tony likes Joe, but at some point he's going to get sick of Joe hanging around and all the calls and family get-togethers."
