Tony Romo didn't get the memo about all the
celeb breakups this week -- instead the
Dallas' Cowboys QB got engaged to his girlfriend
Candice Crawford.

Romo reportedly popped the question while celebrating Candice's 24th birthday on Thursday.
Candice is
Chace Crawford's younger sister and she's a sports reporter for KDAF ... the CW station in Dallas which, appropriately, first reported
the engagement.
Romo is the second
Jessica Simpson ex to put a ring on it recently.
Your move,
John Mayer.
UPDATE: Here's a shot of Candice's ring. Well done, Romo. Well done.

How's this for coincidence --
Jessica Simpson announced today that she is engaged to former football star
Eric Johnson ... just days after her ex
Nick Lachey got engaged to longtime girlfriend
Vanessa Minnillo.

Expect dueling pregnancies in the months to come.
While in Mexico to celebrate her 30th birthday on Thursday,
Vanessa Minnillo flashed the giant engagement bling
Nick Lachey gave her.

No word when they will officially become
Newlyweds.
Nick Lachey is desperately trying to leave his bachelor days behind -- the famous ex-husband just put his $6.8 million post-
Jessica Simpson mansion up for sale ... and it is full-on awesome.

The
Bel Air home is 5,214 sq. ft. ... has 4 bedrooms ... and it comes with one of the most baller pools we've ever seen.
No word if dumping the property has anything to do with Lachey's
recent reunion with former
MTV veejay and all-around jaw-dropping smokeshow
Vanessa Minnillo -- but if anyone can get a man to sell off his bachelor's paradise, she can.
Biological brothers and former
98 Degrees members

Question is ...
It's official,
Nick Lachey and
Vanessa Minnillo are together again and back to doing what they do best: Traveling.

The couple -- who dumped each other a few months ago after three years together -- was spotted yesterday before boarding a plane at JFK.
Josh Gracin, who went from "American Idol" loser to country star, now sadly has all those polite country trappings....i.e., he won't even trash Jessica Simpson, unless you read between the lines. And he wouldn't even call Paula Abdul crazy.
Nick Lachey is used to living in someone else's shadow -- just not his driver's.

This lady thought Nick's chauffeur was the big star outside of LAX -- and even laid a wet one on the guy. Guess this is why Nick's people don't target him to the women over 40 category.
Although they may have fallen off the radar, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have not fallen out of love.

The infrequently gainfully employed couple took time out from vacationing and hosting whatever TV shows they host, to lunch in Hollywood on Wednesday.
They haven't been seen together in a while, but Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey finally resurfaced doing what they do best -- vacationing!

The unmarried lovers took time out of their busy schedules of, er, of, um ... they laid out by their hotel pool in Salt Lake City on Wednesday.
ABC commentator Jeff Van Gundy was all about pop culture at the Lakers game last night. Pop, as in your very old father.
Jeff, it's Lachey -- not "Latchee." And he was dating Vanessa Minnillo, not Alyssa Milano.

BTW, Vanessa was at the game last night -- sans Nick. It's been almost two months since we've seen the vacation-happy couple together. Maybe he is dating Alyssa by now.
