Earlier this month, the National Enquirer said that Jessica Simpson's father disapproved of her relationship with Romo, mentioning the influence of sports on the singer as a concern.
A source told the tabloid, "Joe feels now that Tony has become too distracting for Jessica. Any free time, she, Jess wants to go with Tony. But rather than blaming her daughter to work ethics, Joe points the finger at Tony.
"He wants his life to Tony, but Jessica Simpson loves and does not even consider leaving him at this point."
But Joe Simpson laughed about the report, insisting Romo is the "best" friend of her daughter could have.
In a post on the social networking site Twitter.com, Simpson says: "So tired of people saying that I do not like Tony and Jess ... It is the best ... Do not believe the National Enquirer! "
Jessica Simpson, who has been married to singer Nick Lachey has been dating Romo since November 2007.
