Simpson, Romo 'have tense meeting'

Jessica Simpson recently had a "tense" meeting with ex-boyfriend Tony Romo, according to reports.

The singer and actress, who split from Dallas Cowboys player Romo last year, met his new girlfriend Candice Crawford for the first time at Bloomberg and Vanity Fair's aftershow party for the White House Association Dinner on Saturday.

One eyewitness told Us Magazine that the trio held a "tense" conversation for five minutes on the balcony, while another observer said: "You could tell they were uncomfortable."

However, a different source said: "It wasn't awkward. Candice didn't say much. Jessica and Tony are still friends and talk. It was the first time Jessica met Candice."

Crawford, who is the younger sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, began dating Romo late last year.
