Jessica Simpson's fiance Eric Johnson was super-sneaky planning his Nov. 11 proposal.
As Simpson, 30, explained during a Tuesday appearance on the Jimmy Fallon Show, Johnson, 31, was in cahoots with her parents Joe and Tina and her little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz about the impending moment.

"He had talked to my dad, he had talked to my mom, he even talked to my sister. Everybody knew but me!" Simpson said, adding her family kept the secret "for about three weeks."
As for her $150,000 ring? "He kept the ring hidden in a shoe at my house," the star said of the Neil Lane bauble, a 5-carat ruby (Simpson's birthstone) flanked by 3-carat diamonds.

When he finally popped the question, "It was at my house," Simpson said. "It was romantic that he actually asked me at my house, because that's my little safe haven."

The star will be spending Thanksgiving in NYC with her hubby-to-be -- and, for the first time, the native Texan will be doing it vegan style to please her health-conscious man.
"For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey!" Simpson said. "It doesn't sound right! It's gonna be jiggly and weird."

Well I think its great Congrats!!! I married my husband only a few days after I got my divorce from my second husband. When you know that person is the right you it doesnt matter when it was.. So what if she is pregnant its a beauitful thing to be pregnant and bring a baby into the world. Omg there is noone nice in the world anymore!
beached whale omg
Um ... he "hid the ring for weeks" ... haven't they only BEEN together for just a few months? So ... did he, like, buy the ring after their 3rd date? And nobody thinks it's weird that her ex-husband got engaged like a week before she did? uh ... huh ... I give it another 3 months before it spazzes ...
Who cares if she is pregnant. Its her time & her joy. If she is pregnant congrats. I am very happy for Jessica & ERIC. Would it be the first baby concieved out of wedlock. Get real people. We all know regardless Jess will be a fantastic mother.
Didn't she take a dig at Carrie Underwood with her shirt 'Real girls eat meat'- lol what a follower. You really can't get much more desperate than following your exes cotails. She is really pathetic.
I haven't seen any of the shows she's been on to know this, but is she promoting something other then herself and her engagement and possible reality show (Newlyweds 2.0).
she looks so pregnant
