Jessica Simpson's fiance Eric Johnson is in it for love -- not money.

Slamming a tabloid claim to the contrary, a source close to the engaged couple tells UsMagazine.com that Johnson, 31, "is not a gold digger."

Exhibit A, the source points out: "There will definitely be a prenup" for the pair.  "Jessica has said she wants one. Jessica and Eric have talked about it," the source tells Us.

Indeed, there's a lot of dough at stake: The Jessica Simpson fashion/accessories brand grossed about $750 million in retail in 2010 alone.

"[Eric] understands that there needs to be a prenup," the insider explains. "He's supportive of it."

After dating for less than six months, ex-NFL pro and Yale grad Johnson popped the question to Simpson, 30, on Nov. 11.

"He really loves her," the source continues. "He's a low key guy. He's not into the glitz and materialism of Hollywood at all."

The singer-turned-mogul herself gushed about her husband-to-be to Us last week.  "Every day is a romantic day with him," Simpson said at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting bash in NYC. "I'm very blessed."

    @Dawn did i touch nerve? It's a free country and i can write anything that i want too and if you don't like what i write then don't read it. I'm not a jealous person because for one there is nothing to be jealous about and also, it's a waste of energy. At least i have a face that i can see in the mirror , i think you are too embarassed to show your face.

    She should have one.... I'm not saying that he's gonna screw her over, but she needs to protect herself. We don't know that he doesn't have any money, he very well may, but he seems to truly love her and I think he looks like a nice guy who will protect and defend her. Finally someone who won't sh!t on her. She's real, she's beautiful, she's funny and despite what you think she has some talent otherwise she'd be a nobody just like you haters. At least she works for her money and does nice things for the less fortunate. I for one love her to pieces... Shannon, you suck jealous b!tch... save your negativity for your ex boyfriends and the ugly mug you face in the mirror every day. bawhahahahahahahahaaaa

    She better get one. She's close to being a billionairess and he is unemployed (I think?) I do wish them many years of happiness though. I just don't want her to get taken to the cleaners again.

    YOU don't like pre-nups cuz YOU aint got nuthin =]

    That's probably a good idea. I mean, she's worth like a bazillion bucks, and he's got maybe 50 bucks in his pocket and a pre-paid credit card with a $500 spending limit. Makes sense right folks????

    Prenups are a disaster waiting to happen. It's the same as saying, "hey if it doesn't work, we can always get divorced". I don't agree with this, but whatever.

    Glad to know she is smart to protect her own money!

    There's something about this dude that I just don't trust. I really hope I'm wrong about him.
