Jessica Simpson was reportedly spotted on a date with rumoured new boyfriend Eric Johnson over the weekend.

According to People, the actress and singer was seen having drinks with former NFL player Johnson at Florida's Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.

They were reportedly later seen together at an airport in Jacksonville where one observer described them as being "huggy-kissy" at the ticket counter.

Another source added: "They were holding hands and she was rubbing his back and scratching his head. They were affectionate."

Simpson and Johnson - who has played for the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints - are thought to have been dating since May but neither has commented on the relationship.
