Candice Crawford works as a sports reporter for KDAF-TV in Dallas. The station reports that the 30-year-old player proposed to Crawford while the couple were celebrating her 24th birthday at a Dallas restaurant on Thursday. Candice Crawford is the sister of “Gossip Girl” star Chase Crawford.

A wedding date has not been announced.

Romo has not played since breaking his collarbone on Oct. 25. He previously dated singer Jessica Simpson.

About a month after Jessica Simpson announced she’d gotten engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson, her ex-boyfriend and Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo proposed to his new lady love: Candice Crawford, the sister of “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford.

Nick Lachey, her husband of three years, proposed to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo in November – just about a week before Simpson announced an engagement of her own to NFL player Eric Johnson.

Earlier this year, Simpson said she has no hard feelings for Romo during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, admitting she still cheers him on from the sidelines.

“Tony is great – still a friend of mine,” Jessica Simpson said. “I still look at his cute butt in the outfit – uniform.”
